Re: [platform-swt-dev] Why Java Visual Applications is very slow on Mac

[Eugene Ostroukhov <eostroukhov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Marcio,

what do you mean by "slow"? I'm using Eclipse on Mac OS X for several years and I don't notice any perceivable performance improvement when I switch to Windows...

Are you a recent switcher? The "slowness" feeling could be the result of the bit different OS UI behavior. Do you have such feeling in other apps - i.e. browser? Do you see Java/Mac OS X slow on some computational tasks - like building.

Are you using Carbon or Cocoa version? Cocoa/64 version seems to need much more memory then 32 bit does.

Best regards,

Eugene

Hi everyone.

Why Eclipse, Netbeans and all java visual applications is very slow on Mac OS X ? (10.4, 10.5.x)

I have a macbook black 2.4, 2GB RAM and 250 HDD and when I lauch that`s applications on my Mac OS X 10.5.7, it`s slow during your execution. But, when I launch the same applications on the Windows XP on the same machine (boot camp), it`s much faster.

Why ? Mac is not a good plataform for java developers ?

I am a little frustrated. :-(

I appreciate any types of answers.

Thanks.
