KillModule very slow

Configuration Complex functions
1

Hi,

I’m doing my fvwm conf. It’s working as i expect but it’s very slow. Especially DeThumbnail and KillThumbnail fonction. I suspect KillModule very slow. By what can i replace KillModule ?

My conf:

No, don’t mislead people.

The slowness is your use of PipeRead which blocks FVWM until it completes.
