The mixer refresh show delay is getting worse!

I don't know why this bug cannot be reproduce in Mr Eugene's computer, but it did happen in my machine! I just want to say that it's really annoying me! when in the vertion of 3530,ok,it only happened when I try to change a page to another page, at least I got a smooth changing of sound level ,a quick reaction of select an option. well,at last the 3532 came out, and out of my expectation the bug is getting even worse! even when I want to select an option and it caused a delay about 5 seconds and the cpu usage up to 100% during that time! now it happened even when I try to move the mixer window!

I don't know the reason for this, but I did know that the bug came out along with the version of 3529 Alpha, I just want to ask: Mr Eugene, what code in 3529A did you add that might cause the refresh show delay? cause it's really smooth and quict to react in 3528.

OK, at least the stable version is 3528 at presant, I want to make proposal that if the bug isn't fixed and it'll be never called a stable version.OK?

RIV@NVX

A lot of code was rewritten between 3528 and 3529.

it is currently very difficult to find out what was the -exact- change

refer to 3529 changelog

>> kX Mixer core partially re-written
>> kX GUI core re-written

are you capable of running monitor.exe? [kxdev.narod.ru]
3533 development release will contain some debug code that might help us solving this issue...
pls download and install the monitor and make sure it is working correctly
(you don't need to load any driver in its window. simply run the monitor. you should see a message for each wave sound being played and for each kxmixer's startup/quit).

as I've mentioned above, the -3533- release will include the necessary information

so, it is finally out (development version): 3533 development release

test sequence:
install 3533
reboot
run the monitor
clear its window
open kxmixer
save monitor's output
clear monitor's output
change the page of kxmixer to 'ins and outs' or 'rec'
save monitor's output

that's it

the 3533b will be released before the end of the week

concerning the fix: well, at least it speeds up the things a lot
I'm unsure if the bug was related to performance -only-
anyway, on my machine the pages are now switched even faster
