Prettify slows down the page #206

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I've a div in which I dynamically load a piece of code from the result of an 
AJAX request. Then I want to format it using prettify. It works but it's damn 
slow. The code I use is the following:

var jqxhr = $.get(fileName)
  .success(function(data) {
    $('#myDiv').html(data);
    prettyPrint();
    $('#myDiv').fadeIn();
})

In short I do the GET request, I put the result of the request in #myDiv I 
format it and I fadeIn the div. It takes a while but loads. But when I fade out 
the div then the page remains unresponsive for a couple of seconds. I removed 
the prettyPrint() and the page behaves just perfectly. Any hint?
