Hello, ktouch is the best typing tutor I know. I used it myself and now I wanted it to help my daughter. But unfortunately it takes a long long time until one can see the typed letters. This makes it unusable slow. It takes much cpu resource. I expect: A typing tutor should not be very cpu consuming. It should be usable also on older machines. I have a ThinkPad T61 and use debian testing. I would like to help finding the reason. But therefore I would need some instructions. No problem to translate the program (using make) or possibly edit some cpp files. But I'm not used to work with profilers or something else to analyze run time behavior. Best regards, Ulrich
Which version are you using? 2.x oder 16.12.x? The older version has a major performance bug. For this version you have to apply the patch from Bug 346248 and compile the app yourself. But then you could also just install or compile the latest version which should have very little CPU usage. On my system (Intel Sandy Brigde) I can't get over 10 % CPU usage.
Hi, now I know, that I have the older version 2.3.0. The patch from bug 346248 solves the problem. Thanks a lot.
