Performance issues in VEX based editors. [message #1219128]

Problem category: CSS & DTD based VEX based editors
Version of Vex used : Latest 1.1.0 M3_JUNO
Problem:
We are trying to build a VEX based XML editor which has the ability to load and edit the XML files.
For files which are smaller in size (<3MB) it is working fine. But for files with size > 3MB:
1. Loading time has always increased due to increase in data size.
2. Viewing/Scrolling hangs the application for a very long time (more than 5 minutes for each scroll)
It is observed that 99% of classes are internal, hence do not want to use the classes for ex., VexEditor or VexWidget or IvexWidget etc.,

Is the performance a known issue? or is there a fix/workaround that can improve the situation, without modifying Vex Plugins?

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Raghuram

Hi Raghuram,

yes, performance is an issue with 1.1.0 M3. The good news is, that we fixed already a bunch of problems. You can try out those fixes by installing Vex from our CI build update site: https://hudson.eclipse.org/vex/job/mylyn-docs-vex.ci/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/org.eclipse.vex.repository/target/repository

Best Regards,

Florian

Hello Florian,
Thanks for the quick reply!
We see that the fix given is for Kepler version. Is it possible to get the same fix for JUNO version? or if the fix is done for JUNO already, can you please share the path for the jars?

Thanks,
Raghuram G
