I bought the Materialize theme / component collection and noticed that it takes about one minute to load 23 pages.
My MacBook is not a slug (Intel i7, 16 GB memory, SSD storage), but this is the first time I have loaded more than 1 or 2 pages in a project. Deleting a symbol or deleting pages is a very slow process.
Is this the OSX version of SD V3.5, the sheer number of pages or Bob's components collection.
Is it the same with the Windows version?

I do not have the answer for you, but I can say that 3.5 is much slower to load / open than was 2.5 or 3.0

Just .02cents

You're lucky! On my 2 years old Windows machine it takes about 4 minutes!

Wow! That is slow! I'm on a 9 year old laptop but not taking 4 minutes. Sorry you have to wait that long.

I'm retired, my time is my own...

I'm hoping to be there one day. Congrats!

Hennie,

I've been using Materialize with RSD v3, and now 3.5 since it's release. In general I've noticed a slightly longer than average load screen on my laptop where I do about 85% of my Web development. Where on my desktop which is significantly better. I have not noticed any difference. Specifically with the Materialize theme I do notice both on my laptop, and desktop a healthy wait.

The materialize theme has a SIGNIFICANT amount of information between the HTML elements, and ELEMENT STATES. I would assume, and this is a 100% guess. This has more to do with the shear size of the theme, and not V3.5.


For reference
Laptop: Dell XPS P54G (2015)
Desktop: (Custom built) [cpu] i7-4790K ; [gpu] ASUS GTX 970 ; [ram] 16g

I just checked on my machine that is around 3 yrs old it was 49 seconds

I'm retired too but I would like my files to open prior to my passing. HeHe!

My Core i5, 8GB, 256 GB SSD needs about 45 seconds. Probably the mobile-cpu´s are the problem.
