I can respect that. I've run public forums (including multiple phpbb) and defending them against scum is challenging. FWIW it was my experience that the only difference of turning this knob down is the SIZE of the index. It increases because it adds an index of the article number (and, I think, offs...

close() - and other symbols provided by POSIX or ISO c/c++ may be a special case. Somewhere in the later System V days of ELF, the OS (UNIX originally, later newlib and such) would make open, malloc, write, and so on into weak symbols (multiple definitions can be presents; first one found is used) a...

@ESPSprite, while I agree that phpbb should have been left in previous centuries this actually IS something that you (the royal "you" at ESP, not necessarily you personally) can control. Admin->General->Search(down at the bottom) here is a setting for. "Min characters indexed by search". Change this...

Thank you, that resolves that mystery. We're both likely bound by the actual flash speed. Maybe life is better on a device with QIO flash. If you're at 460k on a "real" UART, you probably can get a doubling of speed just going up to 1Mbps or so. If you're on a CDC/ACM device, that speed doesn't matt...

Gee, I composed a long answer, got distracted, and came back to press the preview button. The forum then took me to a login page, but ate my post. Classy! The TLDR is that this is, in fact, not really Espressif's problem. I chased the problem all the way down to the wire and the upload of ~1MB of *....

This isn't really related to ESP32, but "large data buffer" for a text editor is headed down a bad path from the start.

Read up on the data structure known as 'ropes'. They're key to this class of problems.

Have you modified the bootloader? Have you modified linker map or the build environment? That's an extremely common partition configuration. I'd expect if this problem were widespread that there would be panic in the streets. I just looked at my own build and I'm seeing a 15k-17 bootloader.bin for W...

I suspect many of us are annoyed at the long flash times. The few times I poked at it (before finding this) I, too, concluded that the flash write itself was probably the bottleneck. Well, I at least concluded that the serial wasn't the bottleneck. You can pretty trivially convinced yourself that 2M...

This is indeed a very unusual requirement on parts like this. When you have only a few hundred K - and nothing like a general purpose MMU that imposes such requirements - burning up to 4095 bytes of address space just to get it on an alignment of 4096 is not to be taken lightly. But if you're insist...
