- bstar77 4y agoThis is actually a good point... I have a very fast 16 core PC, but typing in Google Docs often has latencies. Everything in WP is instantaneous, even on my 6mhz 286.
- Semiapies 4y agoA local app will have less latency than a networked one running in a browser.
- myth_drannon 4y agoDepends, a local app which is an Electron app....
- bombcar 4y agoReminds me of https://danluu.com/input-lag/ https://danluu.com/input-lag/ - and I've been noticing it more and more as everything (even desktop apps) become "cloud apps" - everything is sluggish, which prevents typeahead and quick access. Watching someone use the old text-based terminals you'd see at Frys or a bank vs watching them fight with a mouse-based web GUI is instructional; with the old text terminal you could enter the whole transaction as one long string of characters into the buffer, and even if it took time to load the screens, it would faithfully execute exactly as you ordered it to.
