Xtext project builder performance [message #742151]

Hi,

Since I have upgraded to Xtext 2.0.1, my IDE feels very sluggish.
Whenever there is a (Xtext-related) change (e.g. running the workflow)
in the workspace and the builder starts, it takes a long time to finish
(on bigger workspaces often a couple of minutes).
Most of that time it seems to be busy with "Updating resource
description x of y") on all projects with Xtext nature.

This was definitely not the case for Xtext 1.x and I haven't really
noticed it with Xtext 2.0.0.

Is this a known performance problem? Is anybody else suffering from it?

Regards,
Kai

Hi

I've noticed it too, but with 2.0. I find that switching off Build
Automatically while the progress anarchy resolves then switching it on
again helps a lot.

Hi,

same with me
2.0.0 is slow
2.0.1 is better
2.1.0 (nightlys) is a lot better.

Workflows itself may be much slower in 2.x too if you use StandaloneSetup + platformUri since it does o lot of opening .project and .jar files magic.

This did not really work for me as it still does an "Update projects" as
a preparation step before launching the workflow... But possibly it was
LESS building than without that step :-)

Ok, sounds like work in progress then. I will be patiently waiting for
2.1 to be released then.

Thanks for your feedback, always good to know that others share your
problems :-)
