opening and quiting vim for a file of 2500 lines of C++ (so with all the plugins and stuff) takes 0.030seconds.
I don't see how you can be satisfied with 2 seconds startup for a terminal application
- atomashpolskiy 9y agoI completely agree that for a interactive tool like text editor startup time is crucial. But in my case being a bit on the slow side is probably fine, because the UI is for informational purposes only, and VLC takes around 5-10 seconds anyways to startup and begin playing the file, that is being downloaded.
- hdhzy 9y agoWell the torrent download will take a lot more than 2 seconds so that time is totally amortized. Besides this comparison looks like a total bikeshedding unless you plan on downloading torrents with vim. By the way the project looks fantastic. I'll be giving it a try. The alternative for just command line torrent on a *nix is aria2 [0]. Works exactly as advertised. [0]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/aria2/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/aria2/
- rijoja 9y agoWell there is a truth to that. However this might be something symptomatic. As power consumption is getting more and more interesting nowadays, having a minimal impact on system resources overall might still be a sensible goal.
