speed an issue with about 2500 options
I read some speed issues from a few years back, that rendering the selectbox list is slow. I am experiencing about a 5 second delay before the selectbox appears in its rendered state, is this normal for such a long list? I wonder if there is a workaround? Many thanks.
I created my github account a few minutes ago, i will check the guide on how to commit a request because i had a similar problem with delay while moving the mouse around a list with 3000+ options and i think i found the solution, im a junior frontend developer by the way so expect me to be wrong but in 'activeMouse' function from jquery.multi-select.js, when the event mouseenter is called the class ms-hover is removed from all the options, i just modified it to only remove ms-hover from the last element that received ms-hover and that improved a lot the performance on the 3000+ options list.
I'm running into speed issues as well, though with around 1500 items.
@sapeeeeee if you had your version, or even a diff of what was changed that would be great.
I was using v0.9.8, dont remember if i changed more than just the activeMouse function but this is the before/after:
Before:
'activeMouse' : function($list){
var that = this;
$list.on('mousemove', function(){
var elems = $list.find(that.elemsSelector);
elems.on('mouseenter', function(){
elems.removeClass('ms-hover');
$(this).addClass('ms-hover');
});
});
After:

I wish its helpful.
