Hi all,

I have installed the latest milestone release (1.0 m1). Somehow all the
text editors, especially the PHP editor are very slow, in comparison to
the previous version i used (0.7).

What tips / tricks can anyone of you give me to optimize eclipse/pdt so
the editor is as fast as possible?

thanks in advance,

drm / Gerard

Gerard,

The biggest and best improvement you can make is to switch from GIJ to
Sun Java. Just take a look at the posts below your first one for the
tail end of a discussion regarding this topic.

Hi chuck,

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention I'm working on a Windows XP
machine with the latest JRE installed (java6 update2). It seems your
post regards a ubuntu (or at least debian) machine, using gij. I don't
think your post will help solve my slow pdt.

Hi!, I'm using the last integration build (I20070712) and it seems to
work faster than 1.0 M1

Yes, somebody wrote that in 1.0 the project re-build cycle is run on
every pressed key, which is improved in the integration build.

I was a bit annoyed too with the slow editor in M1 so I found how to make
it a bit faster, in the preferences :

General/Editors/Structured Text Editors => un-check "Report problem as you
type".
General/Editors/Structured Text Editors/Spelling => un-check "Enable spell
checking"

I also suspended all the validators (Validation => Suspend all validators).

Hope this help ;)

yap, disabling all these nice features of the editor may be an option,
although you miss the power of it.

You may try our latest release I20070712 and see if this issue improved as
we had some improvments in the editor performance.

It doesn't remove any key-features I use in everyday programming ;)

I use this new release, but still... I'll check with M2.

Hi Bruce,

I tried that, but it still wasn't really, well ..., "like lightning" ;)
I don't really have a beast of a machine here, it's an oldie AMD 1800
XP, though 1 G of RAM. JVM programs aren't that fast in general on my
machine.

I'll try the integration build this afternoon, i'll post my experiences
after that.

PS
Are there perhaps JVM command line options that can optimize eclipse or
the JVM in general?

Here: PIII@1.2GHz, 512 MB RAM

The latest integration build runs smooth enough on my "oldie".

I run the last incubation build with the same options and it runs quite
smooth here.

It is indeed way faster. Thanks for the tip!
