I like the idea of Light Table but what is a deal breaker for me is that it feels like there is an ever so slight lag between pressing a key on my keyboard and the character appearing in the Light Table editing area.
I am very picky about the way typing feels in an editor, and if it feels slightly laggy or slow then that editor is not an option for me, even if it does have all sorts of other awesome features.
Does anyone else feel this or is it just a problem with the app on my MacBook?
- ibdknox 14y agoI don't notice anything unless I have my machine doing some crazy stuff. That being said we haven't done any real performance tuning yet. Out of curiosity what macbook do you have? I run one of the 2011 airs.
- NathanKP 14y agoI have an old 2009 white plastic MacBook, running Mountain Lion. This is definitely an underpowered setup given its age, but I generally feel that it is fast enough for the programs I use, including Sublime Text 2. I've had the typing lag feeling with Coda 2 before, but that is to be expected because Coda is such a bloated piece of software with so many features, trying to run on my old MacBook. But I guess I expected Light Table to be a lighter piece of software like Sublime Text 2, so I was surprised to find that when typing in it I felt the same lag as I do when typing in Coda.
