Smooth scroll and zoom

Hi,
I’ve notice that scrolling and zooming is “jumpy”.
I have about 100 nodes and 250 links in the diagram.
Even after everything load up and all the visual elements get created scrolling and zooming is pretty slow.

  1. How can I profile it to know where the slowness comes from?
  2. Are there things I can do the makes it better?

Thank you,
Ido.

I’m surprised – can you reproduce the problem using any of the samples in GoWpfDemo? (Other than the Virtualizing sample, which inherently has the overhead of creating hundreds of new nodes and links while the user is scrolling.)

Scrolling (via either the scrollbars or the mouse wheel) and zooming (via the mouse wheel) have always seemed very responsive to me. The performance problem has always been loading large diagrams, where the overhead of creating all those elements, and afterwards maybe performing a layout, has been hard to avoid or break into smaller pieces. (But the Virtualizing sample demonstrates one way of doing that.)

Any of the regular profiling tools should work. Of course interpreting the results can be difficult.
