touch sliders kind of slow

[bburdette]

holding down a finger and moving the slider around is pretty slow. Seems like the phone/tablet gets pretty far behind in processing touch events. Due to somewhat complicated elm touch code, sending a lot of messages, or what?

It appears to be the case that as long as your keep moving the touch spot around, the slider never updates.

Also, simplified the touch code to only process the first touch in the list, ignoring the rest. doesn't appear to change the behavior of a single touch.

actually, that's just in chrome. in firefox the sliders are a little slow but they do react in real time. Chrome seems to store up all the touch events and then process them all at once on touch-up. Opera has a similar behavior.

Was checking out my old clojurescript code implementing a similar project. Its so much faster! Also works well in all 3 browsers. Going to drill down and see what's being implemented there for dealing with the touches.

this is much better now! the resize event was firing waaayyy too often. Working pretty well on my ancient galaxy nexus.
