Source of slowness #21

potato44 commented 7 years ago

According to Stasoid at PPCG(in the comments) the source of the slowness of V is the key_stroke() function in v.py. It includes a 100ms wait.

Hmm. I remember this being necessary at one point because otherwise it would cause timing issues (where new keys would be processed before the old keys had finished, causing unpredictable behavior) but I can't think of any examples so I can see if this is still needed. I'll try to look into this more. It would be really really nice to not sleep between keys.

The original issue was first found in this chat conversation. I'll start looking for what exactly in that is causing issues, and how to fix it without sleeping.
