How do you make APP run faster?
(sorry, this is kind of dumb, but many people will forget to do it)
Turn off the run-time part of the Antivirus (in Grisoft AVG, its called the Resident module), etc for the directories that APP uses-- the picture source and the temp directory.
Or get a Mac

Hmm... I'm on Mac too. I'm not sure it's faster than Windows. Don't forget the developers are Windows-minded in the first place (you can tell by the icons) and that we Mac lovers should be happy that they are willing to port their Windows app for us.
Maybe someone with an intel Mac should do a compairison? I'm sure Alexandre and the crew already tried this?
What brings me to the following: is there an artist in the audience willing to create some nice Mac OS X interface icons? ;-)
All in due time, Frederik, in due time...

:-) MAC Icons ?
Easy ! Just replace the png located in "ressources" folder by some new pictures ...
I'd love to see what you can do :-)

I wasn't actually necessarily saying that the Mac is faster than the PC; I was poking at the previous comment that in order to get APP run fast on a PC, you have to disable this and that security feature. Last time I checked, I didn't have to disable anything, it was fast out of the box on my Mac.
While I have an Intel Mac, I don't feel the urge to boot to XP and try the speed there. I am sure that all things being equal (and apparently the security measures turned off, as pointed out earlier), things would be about the same. You're basically testing the speed of the filesystem and the efficiency of the compiler.

There's more going on than that, I think that Windows does a bunch of stuff "for" you in the background. Some things, like indexing service, can be turned off. Some things are not even from Microsoft (although we can still blame Bill), these other things are the various utilities that you install with each hardware or software package you add. If you look at the processor utilization graph when the system is "idle" you can still see some CPU use.
On the other hand, I suspect the Mac has similar stuff going on.
I forgot that no one bothers to write a virus for a Mac, there's just not enough of them out there. For example, on my company's website, only 1.5% of the hits are from a Mac, and that number is probably that high because my boss can't figure out how to use a PC. :-) The other numbers are 95% Windows, 3+% Linux, 0.17% Solaris and 0.16% FreeBSD.
