Debugger seems to be very slow [message #48526]

Hello,
I have a problem with slow debugging. I have sent the enhancement request to
bugzilla.
But the problem is very irritating to wait to the next Eclipse release.
Does someone have similar problem?
The startup time of my huge application in Eclipse debugger is three times
slower then the startup time in another debugger (e.g. JBuilder).
There should be an option which disables online updating of the debug
information.
When I open a debug session I can see which threads are opening and by me
opinion the operations like this can make the debugger slow. Please, add an
option which disables all operations except the check if the program reach
the
break point or has been stopped by suspend button.
Does someone have other proposals how to speed up the debugger in Eclipse?
Leo.

Try disabling all breakpoints execpt the ones you need. This includes
the "stop on uncaught exceptions" and "stop on compiler errors" options
in the debugger preferences.

Can you provide some information on the system configuration you are
running on. Specifically how much memory do you have on your box, what
speed CPU, and what OS. Also the version of Eclipse that you are running.

Yes, I run on 512 MB RAM, Intel Pentium 1GHz, W2000, Eclipse R2.1.

I had debugged in JDK 1.3. When I tried switch to JDK1.4.1 startup time was
rapidly decreased. So it seems that this is the problem of the JDK. Compiler
compliance level is still 1.3 with default setting.

The JDK where is the problem is exactly JDK1.3.0_02 which is provided by
JBuilder5.
I've updated to JDK1.3.1_8 and the problem disappeared.

Conclusion:
NO PROBLEM with JDK1.3.1_8
