Using 3.1 on Windows. Using 1.5 VM while starting eclipse.

My project has over 3000 files. I find eclipse to be very slow in 2 places:

1. File save
2. Cut and paste ( from eclipse to outside app or within eclipse itself )

Sometimes it takes 5-10 secs to do this operation.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Padhu,

Saving a file will produce resource deltas and depending on what plugins
you have installed and where you save the file, that may cause another
cascade of events, such as a build or running validators. So the actual
saving of the file may be a lot faster than you might think. Are you
doing cut and paste in a simple text editor? That seems blindingly
fast to me.

I'm not sure what kind of help you expect. You've provided no
information about which Windows version, nor about your hardware and
memory, and it's not as if 3.1 can be changed significantly. A faster
bigger machine always helps and you might want to try 3.2...

Windows XP Professional. I have only 2 plugins: JTest and Quantum DB.
Hardware: 1Gb, 2 GHz processor. Even before the plugins were installed, file
save was extremely slow. With 1.5 VM performance is slightly better.

Thanks

In which editor do you see this? I suggest to file a bug report with a
thread dump (use Ctrl+Break in the console)

That is definitely not normal.
Shot in the dark: is your workspace or any of the project directories on
non-local file system (like a mounted or network drive)?

The source and project files are on a drive which is a symbolic link to the
c: drive ( created using the subst command - subst e: c:\myprojectdir ).
This is not a network drive but a local drive to which there is a symbolic
link. I didnt know this can be such a performance issue.

Thanks

As said before, file a bug report and someone will take a closer look at
this. It's definitely not normal Eclipse behavior.
