- I only saw a significant “start reviewing” freeze once.
- When studying, the freezes are intermittent. I might get a pause, then the next few cards will be fine. But I don’t think it’s a given that after a pause you get a reprieve. It does take time after a fresh start before you start seeing delays, though. I don’t remember exactly when it started after yesterday’s upgrade, but I think I was seeing delays about 50 cards in, after which it was definitely recurring.
- There really isn’t any pattern that I can tell other than it typically happens when switching cards. The type of card doesn’t make a difference. I have seen in at other times, though, such as when clicking to reveal a hidden reading/definition, at the very start, and probably a few other low-frequency (ergo non-memorable) UI interactions. The variety makes it seem like the immediate cause is something beneath Skritter’s logic. I have never seen a pause while drawing a character, though, which is interesting given that probably represents a significant percentage of my UI interaction events.
- Sometimes, sometimes not. It doesn’t seem to make a difference, except that leaving the app can cause a restart, after which the problem doesn’t appear right away.
