[ros-dev] AbiWord, Worse Written Application

[James Tabor]

Hi!
These are Class Owned DCE starting at the end of allocations. When
closing the application the thread cleanup routine I added frees the
DCE's. (This was not implemented yet, so they never freed and the side
effect of slowing the system down due to hashing the long list of
allocations) Amazing! Look at the count! For every allocation of a
Class Owned DCE there is a menu and even one for every item in the
menu and not reusing the ones allocated and allocating more! This is
one reason AbiWord is slow when drawing! The overhead is crippling!
Most (mean all) applications use one or two DCE's and common to the
DCX_CACHE type. This is the best example of an UNIX ported program to
Windows I've ever seen. Unix hackers hacking it to draw in windows
without the proper research! This is a modest debug list here, what
would happen working with AbiWord all day? ReactOS would most likely
get the blame!  Must I write more?
