Tim, I can't imagine why the software would now run more slowly. Well, maybe I can. But I can think of only one thing that has changed as far as updating the tournament screen goes, and that's the addition of background images to cells, rows, and columns. But I noticed no appreciable speed difference when I added this feature. There is also the addition of styles, but unless you create some, they have no effect. Backgrounds are always set, but without you setting the properties a cell's (or row's or column's) background, I can't imagine it slowing anything down.
The Bust Players Out dialog is bound to be a little slower, since I changed it from a "select" list to a checkbox list. The select list was initially used precisely for its speed - it renders very quickly, but it's a bit unwieldy when selecting multiple items, and it doesn't allow for "columns" of data. On that dialog in particular I made every speed adjustment I could, and I weighed whether or not it should be changed, but consistency won out and I just had to be resigned to the fact that it will take more time to render.
Is there any more precise information you can give me? I really don't want to slow the app down any more than it already is.
I can´t give you more precise information either, but It´s the same for me. The program runs *much* slower comparing to what it did before the upgrade on my laptop (1.8ghz, 512 ram) than before. I can´t notice anything on my PC tho. (P4 2.67 ghz, 1 gig ram) It is most noticeable when I use the "Refresh Torneys" function. I can live with it, but I must admit that I regretted my upgrade a short while when I noticed it. 10 sec (or something like that) longer before the stats is calculated seems like a long time when you are eager to find out if you still are the season leader. :-D
