Re: Debug output is terribly slow
It's meant for displaying debug messages; not the output of copious amounts of data.
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!

Machinecode: There's no need to keep repeating that. Just because it's not meant to be fast doesn't preclude the possibility of a problem.
Be aware there are a lot of valid uses for 'displaying debug messages' that aren't pure data dumps, but a way of monitoring the activity of the program in realtime as you're working with it that still produce a large amount of text. In a lot of those cases, log files are a less correct means of accomplishing the goal.
If there's a potential flaw in the implementation, there's nothing wrong with trying to analyze it to determine its behavior and suggest changes if it turns out it's doing something aberrant.

Re: Debug output is terribly slow
In fact, by setting the all rows equal height the speed of PB listviews can be improved somewhat (I tested it in a small PB program). This is something that can be done in the gadget library, as every line in a PB listview is supposed to be of equal height anyways.
