why the qb64 editor is slow under linux

[DSMan195276]

Have you checked the results of simply adding

-O2

to the builds of

libqb_setup.o

and

qbx.cpp

, rather than

-Ofast

? I'm surprised that they're not already compiled with

-O2

,  that's certainly something I think should be changed and would likely be sufficient to fix this problem.

-O3

is also an option, but frankly considering the state the

libqb.cpp

code is in I'm somewhat hesitant to recommend that if

-O2

is sufficient. I would personally not recommend using

-Ofast

because on top of

-O3

it actually enables several non-standards-compliant optimizations which I suspect may cause us problems in some situations.
