[jsword-devel] Performance problem

[DM Smith]

I did a Passage Lookup of Gen-Rev. Kind of dumb, but I wanted to 
robustly test a change I was making. Several places had a test of an 
element in a JDom tree being a String. It never happens, they are of 
type org.jdom.Text. So I put a break point in the code and

I had expected the following behavior:
Convert the input into a VerseRange.
Slice the verse range list into sub ranges of n verses where n is the 
verse per tab number.
Display the first n verses in a tab.

I was expecting to have to click through many tabs.

I stopped it after 10 minutes, first pausing the debug session.
It was in book 28 getting the text.
So my guess is that it was going to get the entire passage and then 
re-get each tab's worth.
And in the perf meter, it is pegging the system at 100% cpu and almost 
all the memory I have!

I have not looked into this any further. My test was successful!
