Not sure if in 3 you mean performance with "fast displaying" or not. As far as usability for
watches goes that seems fine to me, so it is probably a personal preference, so maybe more
details about the issue is needed. As it relates to the editor: What is the speed of your CPU on
this single core system? What is your GB of RAM? What is the disk and disk speed? What OS are you
using? Which code editor...which files exactly for issue 1? Is 6.1 worse for you than 6.0 was?
Did you import settings from 6.0 into 6.1? That is another topic for debate.

I don't think the wizards are going to have any impact in the editor. From what have you drawn
this conclusion?

I would say the performance issue wouldn't be related to the UI as much as general performance,
but the others, as long as it isn't just a performance issue, would. I didn't have a comment on
your number 2.
