This patch changes nitpicker's way of redrawing. Originally, redraw operations were triggered immediately by the RPC functions invoked by clients. In the presence of clients that invoked a large number of those functions, the server could become overloaded with processing redraw operations. The new version performs redraw operations out of band with the RPC functions. Similar to the design of the DOpE GUI server, redraw operations are processed periodically. The RPC functions merely modify meta data and track the dirty areas that need to be updated. Consequently, nitpicker's RPC functions become light-weight operations. As a nice collateral effect of this patch, nitpicker's internal structure could be simplified because the drawing backend is no longer needed by the code that dispatches the RPC interface. |
