Mousepad performance

Can anyone confirm that Xfce Mousepad Editor performance is terrible when pasting the content of the link below (just an example of a big formated text) and saving it as a HTML? Even the colors get broken...
Code: Select all

Leafpad doesn't suffer of performance issues. However it doesn't provide language formating. Is there a good GTK alternative?

Please provide more instructions. I would hapily test the thing but there is no such color settings in my mousepad environment.

Which color settings are you referring to? It's just a matter of copying the source content of the link above and paste it on Mousepad, saving it as a HTML.

What do you mean by suffering of a simple text editor. I copied the text from the link into mousepad. Seems ok. But I agree, leafpad has been performing better on some past installations for me.
I have no substitute to offer.

It's not a matter of working. It's a matter of performance.
The scroll performance is terrible on my machine when using Mousepad and long files.

no perceivable performance problems here eg. 18000 line configure script with sh highlighting, scrolls fine ..
sounds like a driver issue..
i wonder how xedit would go for you, also being gtk3, gtksourceview based..

I see the mouse performance hit on that text. Especially once it gets near line 268 or so, which is huge.
Possible solution that worked for me:
Turned off word-wrap.
Turned off line numbering for a smaller performance increase.

You mean gEdit? If so, it's as terrible as Mousepad

Exactly! Even the syntax highlight gives up; it's ridiculous!

xedit is the editor in cinnamon

Oh, I see. They changed the name to xed. Unfortunately it's a gedit fork, which means it suffers from the same issues.
Here is a HTML to test:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ar27oj715 ... .html/file
Notice that the syntax highlight simply disappear (for mousepad, xed and gedit), and that the scroll performance (dragging the scroll bar) is not good. I noticed that although leafpad opens it pretty past, it suffers from laggy scroll performance -- and it doesn't even have syntax highlight!
I simply can't understand how a machine can handle heavy games (with thousand effects) at 60 FPS, but can't draw a simply text decently

ha i always make this mistake
at the moment, i am in an arch based setup on a machine with nvidia graphic(old fx210) using propriety driver and can now see what your talking about(with mousepad and xed)- hightlighing fails... scrolling seems ok
for comparison, i also have geany(which in arch is a gtk3 version) ..no highligthing/performance issues there that i can see.
i suspect the problem is with gtksourceview
and maybe only with certain video drivers, since it seemed to be okay on my laptop with amd(radeon) graphics (not in any way new)
EDIT
xed from terminal at the moment hightlighting fails: (same with mousepad)
Code: Select all
(xed:6105): GtkSourceView-CRITICAL **: 09:39:03.879: Highlighting a single line took too much time, syntax highlighting will be disabled

ok scrub that.. getting failed highlighting/poor scrolling with pluma(mate also gtksourceview3) on my laptop
disabling word wrapping improves scrolling somewhat..
a slightly smaller/less complex html file seems okay..
looks like gtksourceview3 has a problem with very long lines..

Somehow that's what I was expecting to hear, hahaha!
Imagine the code quality behind these libs/apps

I've just tried
Clear Linux gtksourceview version with the hope that it would deliver a decent performance, but I couldn't notice any improvement whatsoever
Next step: I'll try to create a Xfce module with just Clear Linux packages. Let's see...
