Write a Watson plugin instead, it uses Cocoa (which probably explains
why it's so much faster than Sherlock 3).
Huh? Sherlock is written in Cocoa as well.
The reason Sherlock plugins are slower is that Sherlock has to
dynamically load them off of the Internet. If they were written in
Cocoa, and Sherlock still had to download them before using them, it
would still be just as slow, especially since part of what takes so
long with the Sherlock plugins is downloading the .nib files...
Isn't that just the first time? After that they
just have to check a freshness date to allow
dynamic updating. At least, that's what
I thought the SDK said. So it shouldn't be
that much slower in use because of the
channel downloading.
