Comment 21 for bug 493793

Hi Albert,

With the latest fixes, performance is back to an OK level (23ms without glitches) although there's still a sensible performance gap compared to the Debian package (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/mixxx).
I still cannot explain why there should be a performance difference, but the Debian binaries run definitely smoother on my system than the ones I produce, (even with optimizations turned on and a stripped binary). It is especially visible with the waveform display. This is anyway unrelated to the script engine bug.

As for the segfault problem, it doesn't seem to happen so far, but I would need a bit more testing, as this is quite random.

Msieur Piero:
here's the short script I use, if that can be of any help (this requires that you are ini the sudoers/wheel group):

#!/bin/sh

# delete the build folder
sudo rm -r 1.7

# get the latest bzr
bzr checkout lp:mixxx/1.7 1.7

# Rename the old binary
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/mixxx /usr/local/bin/mixxx-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

# compile & install
sudo scons tuned=1 install
