If I import a chunk of code which was exported as formatted it seems to take longer for the IMPORT button to activate than if the code wasn't formatted.
Is this to be expected?
Can you quantify 'longer'? I'd be surprised if any difference was that noticeable. Obviously the formatted version is simply more raw data to parse the JSON from - but the browser's built-in JSON parser is so highly optimised.
Once the raw JSON has been parsed to its JavaScript object format, then there is absolutely no difference.
Ok, here's the code I was using.

So that is in/on a page.
I export it and say formatted.
Copy to clip board.
Unselect the nodes.
Scroll down a bit on the screen.
import. paste
bang! It's ready.
(import button red)
Press delete to get rid of the nodes.
Scroll back up.
Reselect the nodes.
export - formatted
copy to clip board
Unselect the nodes.
Scroll down a bit on the screen.
import. paste.........
25 seconds before the import button is red.
Just wondering.
Yes, I am kind of flogging the machine (RasPi 2a I think)
But......
Just asking.
EDIT
Ok, tried it on a faster machine.
Time is down to mere seconds.
But there does seem to be a difference in parsing times depending on if the code is formatted or not.
If you are importing a lot of code to a small machine: the format will (does?) affect how long it takes before the import button becomes alive.
