[Design] Performance Scenarios

[Sheila Mooney]

In preparation for some of the performance work we are planning for  
Chandler Alpha5, Mimi and I have made a list of the top 10  
performance issues (from our perspective) that we notice when we use  
the app day to day. Mimi and I are running on older Macs some and we  
understand that some of these might not be an issue on Windows or the  
Intel Mac.

We would like to hear from other dogfooders about which performance  
use cases stand out when trying to use the app.

+ Long running Chandler - after running the app for several days  
there is just this general slowdown that seems to affect everything.
+ Startup
+ Switching between collections
+ Switching app areas
+ Dragging and dropping items to other collections or to the trash
+ Creating new items - menus, double clicking on calendar
+ Overlays - activating and deactivating checkboxes
+ Resizing Chandler window and resizing the panes
+ Stamping and unstamping items
+ Deleting items with the Del key

Cheers,
Sheila
