Tiddlywiki size

[sidve...@gmail.com]

Hi im new to tiddlywiki and I wanted to know what is the maximum size for a tiddlywiki.

And will it start to slow down the tiddlywiki if I create too many tiddlers.

You can do a search here for 'file size' or 'filesize' to see previous discussions, but the short answers I am aware of are these:

1) the # of tiddlers shouldn't affect things. Some people have thousands of tiddlers. I have seen the entire content of the Bible in a TiddlyWiki, one tiddler per chapter and one or two tags per tiddler, and it functioned quite rapidly.

2) One thing that affects speed more is the number and complexity of list filters. A couple times I have tried to implement view template tiddlers that display a list of tiddlers dependent on the open tiddler. The list displayed not only the title of the tiddlers but also their tags and content. Obviously as you add dependent tiddlers, those lists get longer and the display has to refresh as tiddlers are added. So that approach I was using resulted in my files showing down after only a couple hundred tiddlers.

3) Images that are fully added into TiddlyWiki as image tiddlers slow TiddlyWiki very quickly. Using image links to access images that are stored in other locations should not do that, though.
