TreeViewer/TableViewer selectAll very slow [message #510193]

I am using TableViewer (TreeViewer) with SWT.VIRTUAL. The underlying table/tree can have 1M elements. With SWT.VIRTUAL, the performance is adequate, but when I select all with Ctrl-A, it is painfully slow.

It could be a performance issue with underlying table.selectAll(). I would like to know if anything I can do to speed it up. It seems to be unnecessary to create all the table items during selectAll. It would be better to do a virtual select all and only highlight visible table items.

Would it help to use a ILazyContentProvider/ILazyTreeContentProvider?

Thanks,
John

I'm not an expert on this, but my guess would be that when you press Ctrl-A to
select all, this results in all of the tree or table elements being allocated in
the operating system. With a million or more elements being created, such an
operation can take a very long time. Honestly, I don't know if there is a
solution. Someone else would know better.
