Oh, to be forced to make do with such hardware -- think of how snappy it is on my 2 GHz 2 GB MacBook with 50% more actions :-)

I'm sure there's plenty of room in the code for performance enhancements, and as more of us send in requests and sampling data, Omni will (continue to) give it some attention.

One thing that I've found helpful is not asking OF to redo all of those computations over and over. Instead, keep another window open in your alternate view. It probably makes everything slightly slower having to update multiple windows, but I don't notice that -- I do notice the multi-second pause when bringing up a different perspective or switching between project/context modes. Dennis' suggestion about the LeaveEmptySelectionEmpty preference is a good one, too.
