Re: [GSoC 2013] Speed ups for large documents

Hi Catalin,

Thank you for your interest. Please subscribe to the abiword-dev
mailing to continue to have this conversation in public. I'm cc'ing
abiword-dev in this reply.

My main suggestion is for you to investigate a profiling application
to directly determine what the bottlenecks are. If you use:

http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2981.txt.utf-8

This is a 3000-page plain text document which you can use to test
abiword performance. Try editting at the start and end of the
document. Use the results of your investigations to write your
application to GSoC. We're very interested in students you can frame
and solve problems independently.

Cheers

Martin
