erratically slow response while editing [message #202450]

Hi there.

I am working with Eclipse+CDT for over a year now, on Linux+GCC.
All in all - I was satisfied.
But - as my files grew bigger - the editor responsiveness became a problem.

Specifically, when I edit, and I have a tendency to save quite a lot
during editing. Eclipse's responsiveness every 20-30 seconds or so
becomes very slow - it hangs, doing some thinking and only after 4-5
seconds, it lets go (could be even more).

Once in a while it is not so terrible - but it is very persistent and
with very short intervals.

I am working with indexer disabled -and it seems it's got nothing to do
with it.

My guess is that eclipse retags the source whenever it wishes -
regardless of indexing - is this right?
What can I do besides cutting down my project size, or going to another
editor... :-)

Thanx.
Jigal.

I have noticed delays - especially with paste operations (CTRL + V) since
upgrading to CDT 4. As everything else changed then as well (Eclipse, Mylyn,
etc, etc) I don't know if it is a CDT issue or not.

I am living with it for now, but if anyone knows how I could track down the
culprit I'd be grateful for the info.

Cheers,

Paul.

I suggest to read the following thread on the cdt-dev mailing list:

Could you try and disable "Smart Paste" in the preferences (C/C++ >

performance?
Thanks.

It does improve performance - there is now no noticeable latency between
pressing CTRL+V and the paste occurring.

Thanks,

Paul.
