Slow performance

Running the app on OS X Sierra beta and the app is very slow to start up and respond to saying of preferences.

Hi, Could you give more details of your setup? What exact version of MacOS and what hardware are you on? And do you use the Atom text editor? Does it perform similarly slowly? (Blink1Control2 and Atom use the same underlying app mechanism)

Atom starts up quick and clean. I am running a MacBook Pro 13, Early 2015. 2.9 i5 with 16GB of ram. Everything else is snappy!

10.12 Beta 16A313a

Hmmm, are you running Blink1Control2 from the DMG or from a thumbdrive?

Nope. Running off the ssd in the app folder

Hi, Thanks, this is very handy, but very confusing.

Blink1Control2 does nothing with Adobe stuff, but it does have a dependency on an "applescript" library that may be triggering what you're seeing. I'm looking through to see what that dependency is and if I can get rid of it.

I'm not sure what the 'detected broken kqueue' is about, but it seems like other projects are having issues with it too. Something to do with "libevent", and that might be addressed by upgrading Electron (reminder to @todbot: see issue electron/electron#6727)

On a related note, I installed the latest Sierra beta on a VM on my Macbook Pro, tried out Blink1Control2, and it seemed to work well. So it's either something only detectable on real hardware or there's something on your system sufficiently different from mine.
