Hyplus -- Screen speed
One common first impression of Hyplus is its speed, especially when
running the program on a hard disk. Here's why Hyplus is fast:
(1) Files are ASCII -- Hyplus uses ASCII files <link16> that load
much faster than graphic files.
(2) Files are small -- While Hyplus can load very large ASCII files
most files are single screen (average size 2k).
(3) Total file load -- Hyplus loads the entire ASCII file into a
buffer so page jumps <link06> are instantaneous.
(4) Perceived speed -- Software quality is often measured by the speed
of screen updates. If command response is
greater than 1/10 of a second, the mind
wanders, hampering users.
(5) Browsing effort -- Browsing uses experimental exploration as a
primary method of search. As a mental process,
browsing only works if the hypertext jumps are
intuitive and instantaneous.
