[chandler-users] Why sometimes the rendering of the GUI is so slow?

I haven't seen this particular problem before, triaging lots of items is 
pretty fast for me even in big repositories.  Is this reproducible for 
you?  If so it'd be great to have your repository submitted in a bug.

Generally speaking, Chandler's architecture has a lot of features based 
on pursuing lots of different directions over the years.  We aren't 
currently using a lot of these features, and we've found that what we 
have now isn't scaling very well.  That's frustrating for all concerned, 
I hope it doesn't seem like we're trying to hide our dirty laundry about 
this!

We have a road map for doing a "rearchitecture", but I'm afraid we don't 
have the resources to be pursuing that actively right now.  At this 
point, what we really need is help from coders in the wider community in 
improving the desktop!

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
