Re: [STUMP] key press detection lag?

[J. David Smith]

I've actually had issues in Arch where, after an SBCL upgrade, I was forced to recompile before it'd load my stump config. Dunno if the core problem was the upgrade or something else entirely, but recompiling fixed it.

Just to clarify how compiling stump works (on arch):

You can upgrade SBCL and unless you recompile/upgrade stump with the new
version of SBCL you won't get the benefit of any changes to SBCL. At the
same time, you don't *need* to recompile stump when you upgrade SBCL: it
will continue to run without issue, but it's usually a good idea to
recompile.

Cheers,
