4 years ago@tiltowaitt I can't speak to Roustem's experience, but I haven't really noticed much performance difference day to day. So I did a side by side test using an account that has 3500 items.
Scrolling seemed equally performant to me, in the sense that it was completely smooth. In version 8, if I clicked the scroll handle and dragged it quickly up and down I could see a difference in the rendering. We're talking milliseconds, but it seems like something we could probably improve because I don't see the same effect in the version 8 sidebar with hundreds of tags.
On the other hand, I found that version 7 is much slower to render a list of items when you're switching between vaults, especially when switching multiple times in succession. Version 8 is consistently snappy in that test.
I tried search too and it seemed equally performant.
These are just anecdotal of course and the only things I tried. Day to day I haven't found much difference. That said, we're aware of reports of really poor performance, so that's an ongoing investigation.
