I had similar issues but I think I've solved mine.

In general, keepnote seems to use a lot of resouces both memory and disk access. I found it competing with my daily backup.

Changing the autosave time to 60 seconds helped. I also lowered the priority of my backup task. I no longer keep 6 notebooks open and I've reduced the size of each notebook.

These may have nothing to do with your problem.

Are you really running keepnote under wine?  Everything I run under wine seems slow.

Hi,

Keepnote is a great application. It is what I was looking for to organize my graduate student life. The most similar free app is ZIM desktop, but I go  for Keepnote because of cleanness, folder structure, etc.
But I just can't sustain my nerves every time the cursor lags 1/2 seconds behind the action (writing or navigating), etc.

Can anyone give me some hints on why keepnote insists being slow? I have looked online, and checked previous posts, and I couldn't find a systematic solution or analysis of the problem.
I run Linux Mint (12.04).

Thanks

I also recently started using Keepnote, first the stable and now the beta on 12.04.

 

I've been having the same weird lags... it's a brief moment where everything pauses and then catches up. It's often enough to be noticeable.

 

I've tried launching keepnote --show-errors from a terminal... no output to speak of. I found some posts in an old email listing that mentioned a spelling database might be the culprit. I removed and switched dictionaries, even though I would figure that disabling spell check would be enough...

 

As a last resort... I upgraded to the beta but no love. On the plus side, the beta seems very stable... assuming the above problems are on my system of course. ;)

 

Regards...

Daniel

Hi all,

I mainly use manual save myself, so perhaps that is why I do not
notice these slowdowns on my own computers. There are some saves that
are required (switching between notes forces a save for example). One
improvement that I have made is to reduce the number of commits made
by sqlite. You could try the latest testing version (0.7.9) to see if
this changes things. I may also investigate whether the larger
node.xml file in the root directory is the cause of slower saves.
Recent version of keepnote have started to store more information in
the root node.xml file. Thanks for this feedback, it is helpful to
hear how keepnote runs on other platforms. I will send out another
email when I have a new testing version implementing some ideas on
improving saving speed.

Thanks,
Matt
