Re: [platform-swt-dev] performance issues [URGENT]

[Grant Gayed <Grant_Gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Suma,

The latest set of performance tests
are available at:
   - eclipse: http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/I20060328-0010/performance/performance.php
   - SWT: http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/I20060328-0010/performance/org.eclipse.swt.php?

The second link shows a set of seven
tests that measure certain swt operations.  Of course this set of
tests is not exhaustive w.r.t. measuring performance across the full toolkit,
but it does focus on operations for which a performance improvement/degradation
could be most noticable to an end user.  You can compare the times
it took to run a given test on win32 and on linux by clicking on the different
test links and comparing the raw times that it took to run on each machine.
 Be sure to look at equivalent machines when comparing.

Note that performance work has been
done between 3.0.2 and now (I'm now looking at your original message where
you mention seeing a change).  Some information about this was captured
in http://vektor.ca/eclipse/gtk-performance-notes.html .  If you have
an app running in 3.0.2 then you should just try it in the latest, because
any performance change that you observe will be very dependent upon how
you're using swt.

Hi There!
 
If anybody knows where to get the performance statistics
for Eclipse and SWT, please let me know. I need this information urgently.
The product I work on which is Eclipse based is 2X to 4X slower on Linux
as compared to Windows. My product puts its hooks into it's AUT (application
under test), and through the hooks it generates certain events in the AUT.
The slowdown is seen only when the AUT is either Eclipse based or Mozilla
based applications.
 
Any information in this regard would be extremely helpful.
 
Thanks,
Suma.

I see Eclipse 3.2 is much faster compared to Ec lipse 3.0 (on Linux). Where
can I get the statistics of Eclipse performance (also the SWT performance)?

Thanks,
Suma.
