Performance Issues with Rig/Log Controls set to Full #25

Open Ferritt1975 opened 2 years ago

Ferritt1975 commented 2 years ago

On MacOSX (Monterey) running VirtualBox 6.1 with a Windows 10 Guest with Fldigi 4.1.20 installed, application performance is slow if Rig/Log Controls are set to Full. If Rig/Log Controls are set to either Partial or None, then application performance is commensurate with overall guest performance.

All of the applications including fldigi and flrig are designed to run natively on macOS.

Yes, thank you. I am aware that the application is designed to run natively on OSX and other operating systems, however I was testing a specific use case which prompted the use of Virtualbox. Interestingly, repeating the experiment on an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance, I did not observe the performance issue. I do not like to speculate in areas outside my domain, but the experience was somewhat suggestive of a UI controls that were constantly being redrawn, something that might otherwise not be noticeable except in a virtualized environment.
