<p>I find it to be spontaneously slow at random times on Linux, too. Was there one place where you found it consistently slow?</p>
<p>> Criticism aside, it seems quite stable and it does the job.<br>

<p>I and Martin did most of the work. I no longer have a Mac, and Martin is no longer active. I also have next to no free time until I resolve my current employment back to a single job (hopefully only another few weeks). After that I would happily work on Xiphos-Mac if I could. But most of the heavy lifting of the packaging was done by CMake and came for free when bibletime made that move. Xiphos uses wash, and I don't know if there is an equivalent to CPack.</p>
<p>> I could provide some detailed criticism if it'd be helpful. Much of it would be based upon the log in my own eye as a BD dev.<br>

<p>Maybe in bugs or the wiki. We have received such criticism before, but since no active BibleTime developer uses Mac there is little likelihood they will ever be addressed.</p>
