Parser optymization [message #999997]

I'm trying to use xtext with large documents (>10 KLOC) and I'm hitting some performance problems. My DSL is whitespace sensitive and indentation based. This is roughly how it looks:

{Section 1}
	Paragraph 1
	Paragraph 2
{Section 2}
	Paragraph 1
{Section 3}
	Paragraph 1

How can I cluster the document so that changes in the Section 1 don't trigger reparsing the whole document? In the given example the thing that could happen in Section 3 are new markers being added as a result of reference targets in Section 1 being removed. Other stuff can't change so there's no need to reparse the whole structure, rebuild the outline, perform highlighting and so on.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Pawel

Xtext uses a partial parsing approach by default. Did you profile your
plugins in order to identify hotspots?

If you get suck, feel free to contact itemis. We offer professional
support packages with a special focus on performance analysis and
optimization.
