Re: Cmd-Tabbing to BBEdit very slow

[Darren Duncan]

Weird that you mention this, because I experienced the same behavior a couple
hours ago. Or a slight variant where on switching to the app there was a few
seconds delay in it registering to type or other actions. At the time I thought
it was just context switching because my machine had over-allocated its RAM and
BBEdit probably had to be moved from compressed RAM. Maybe that was still the
case, but the fact someone else brings this up is interesting. -- Darren Duncan
