dmenu-vertical (meillo) slow

[Arian Kuschki]

Hi all

is it just me or does dmenu with meillo's vertical patch applied get slower and
slower the more lines you specify with the "-l" option? Anything more than
about ten lines is unusable on my t42 using Ubuntu Karmic development version.

Cheers

I don't see any performance change if I use `-l 30'.


However I didn't write the patch myself and didn't have deep looks into
the code, I just used fresch's patch and removed everything I found
useless or disturbing the design of dmenu.

That's what my patch is: fresch's patch made conforming to the software
style we have here.

Thanks for the confirmation guess there is something wrong with my system then, will
have to have a closer look. But nice work anyway (to Fresch or whoever), the vertical patch makes dmenu
much more useful for certain things.
