Hi David,
I'm afraid that this might be particular to your system. On yesterday's
nightly build on win32, I could spellcheck a 30 page document almost
instantly.
Likewise, on today's CVS head Linux x86 build, I can spellcheck any one
of your abiword-docs documents faster than I can blink.
This may be specific to your system or specific to ppc architectures in
general. Nothing has changed in the spelling code in quite some time,
except for 1 trivial if statement that tucker and I put in a few days
ago and a call to 1 function (compoundgood) that only gets called if all
else fails. So, unless every one of your words in the document is a
compound word, I can't personally explain this slowdown.
Thanks,
Dom
I can spell-check
