Not that slow - ChepnisAroma

TAO is not that slow, actually it's slightly faster with this update. But maybe that's just me.
Power Mac G5 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.8.

OK compared to alternatives - Mikis--2008

I haven't tried TAO. However, I really think an outliner should be very responsive also on older machines, like 5 years at least. I use OmniOutliner on a Powerbook G4 400mhz and I'm very satisfied with that app for my purposes. I even run stuff like Logic 7on this machine, so it can kick in when it has to.

Even if occasional features need horsepower that shouldn't make an app slow all the time. One app that is unusable even on your 1.8Ghz G5 that springs to mind is Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 and later. I had to revert to the earlier version.
I'm obviously not implicating this is the case with TAO, but it's a sound basic principle with software to expect responsiveness and optimized code.
