GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616847
Orca should not perform braille functions when braille and/or braille monitor are not enabled
Last modified: 2013-09-02 20:21:52 UTC
In looking at performance issues, we seem to spend a non trivial amount of time in updateBraille (0.01 to 0.25 seconds per call). We also perform various and sundry braille-related tasks outside of updateBraille. The kicker is: We do this even when braille and braille monitor are not being used. For non-braille users, we should be able to accomplish at least a minor improvement in performance by only performing braille functions when the user has opted for braille output.
