O'Reilly article on current GNOME optimisation work

Submitted by Uraeus on Wed, 2005-11-02 12:11. GNOME

Jono Bacon have written a nice article on the O'Reilly network discussing the current set of optimisations work being done on GNOME. The article focuses on the work by Federico Mena-Quintero who started the effort with his work on speeding up the GNOME file chooser. Today this effort seems to be picking up speed with people such as Billy Biggs, Carl Worth and Behdad Esfahbod all working hard on various performance issues. In addition to that Nokia have sponsored some performance related work through their Maemo effort. Anyway, you find the article from Jono here and you can follow the optimisation effort live on Planet GNOME
