I have the myeclisep IDE running on windows XP and accessing the workspace on a mapped drive which is a samba mount to a unix share. When just browsing the drive in windows explorer performance is very fast…but when I open files in the myeclipse IDE seems to be very sluggish. In particular the xml files seem to be the slowest. Has this been encountered before? Any work arounds or fixes?
Storing your workspace on a network drive or even a local USB key drive can really mess up performance because of the level of read/write cycles that the platform makes to the metadata folder and caches. It’s generally not a good idea.
I’ve even seen it perform subpar on a gigabit ethernet network. Not too much you can do, the IDE just does a ton of disk access, so offloading that workspace is going to incur that penalty of increasing the latency of every single read and write by a factor of 10 or 100 on slower networks.
