Hello!
I've scanned a TODO list and found the item -
"Make find dialog more responsive" - inside
"After 4.6.1 on 4.6.x branch" section.
But I think the responsiveness of the dialog is unacceptable for the
4.6.0 release. I missed the moment when it became so bad, (may be 1-3
releases ago (?)). But I remember mc-4.5.55 responsiveness was _much_
better. In fact 'Find file' in mc-4.6.0-pre3 is unusable on large
(~100Mb) directory trees. I can't quickly stop it, I can't quickly
suspend it, and so on. The response time is about 40(!) seconds.
I've checked it on Linux console and xterm terminals.
mc was compiled with the following configure options:
--disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls --enable-charset --with-x
$ mc -V
GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.0-pre3
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish
With builtin Editor
Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With support for X11 events
With multiple codepages support
