Add a single toggle at the top bar to disable those moving number displaying on wires, for better performance, especially when building a complex component. Another way to do that is to embed that option into existing "+255" "-1" "FF" format options as a new "OFF" option. ^_^

currently you can turn down animation speed for those values, where the lowest speed halts the animation completely

that doesn't help much

#

sometimes when wires are carring a large value

#

those numbers overflow the wires and make it messy

#

eg: I uses hex mode to simulate that, but having that in decimal mode also hurts

btw, the number format controls more than just wire numbers - it also affects IO, program component, RAM, constants, etc
so i don't think putting wire animation disable there is a good idea

that's to say, putting an individual toggle might be better?

this wouldn't help performance anyway

#

the simulation and the drawing are happening in different threads, and if the drawing can't keep up, it just waits until it can

#

basically, drawing those numbers isn't slowing down the simulation anyway
