Gnote Performance

Gnote becomes slow at creating, renaming and deleting notes if you have a large collection of notes, and users find this annoying.

So I spent some time this weekend trying to see what is actually going on and came up with a couple of patches — 660653 and 660663. I will be testing these over the next few couple of days to make sure that I did not break anything, and hopefully things will be much more snappy now.

Aurimas has been doing awesome work over the last couple of years, and while I was not doing justice to the project he kept up with a steady stream of patches. Right now he is working on porting Gnote to Gtk+ 3.x and GNOME 3, which will hopefully improve the experience on Fedora 15.
