[Psi-devel] gc suggestNicks performace

[Norman Rasmussen]

I happened to be on #debian on freenode using Psi, and was using tab
completion a few times.  It's sloooow.  (805 ppl - Is there no where
in the gc dialog that shows how many ppl are in the room?)

I took a look in groupchatdlg.cpp, and it seems that there's an
in-order search in suggestNicks.

Suggestions:

 - implement a quick search? nickList already returns a sorted
QStringList, so we can assume sorted - sounds most work than worth,
but would make it very fast

 - use QStringList.grep with a regex to filter out the strings that
match the nickText before we start looping -  sounds quick and easy to
implement, probably a good idea to test it first.
