Re: Perl TK performance issue

[perltux]

Ok, just an update, I have narrowed down the performance issue to the BrowseEntry widgets, if I comment out the BrowseEntry widgets then the window shows up almost instantly.

So it looks like BrowseEntry widgets (or at least the way I'm using them) are very cpu intensive.

What could be functionally equivalent but more efficient substitute widgets for the BrowseEntry widget?

plain listbox/combobox?

FWIW, it takes about 2 seconds for the sub to run for me, plus a few more (I guesstimate 4) for Tk to actually draw it

OTOH, wxPerl pops up an equal amount of widgets in 1 sec, and it takes 1 sec to destroy them all

Both take up about the same amount of RAM

Its fairly similar to Tk (snippet of code generated by wxglade)

Distribution is easy with http://www.citrusperl.com//http://www.cavapackager.com/ for many platforms

There is even my wxWidgets / wxPerl / wxGlade tutorial
