    When editing even moderately sized jsp files, I am experiencing a lag between keystrokes that is crippling my productivity. The only way I am able to get anything done is to restart MyEclipse every 10 minutes as I work. For a few minutes I am able to edit files normally before the lag becomes a problem and gradually gets worse. After just 15 minutes, I am experiencing a 5 second lag between each keystroke!

    I have seen a few other posts about this problem on the MyEclipse forum, but the issue seems to be unresolved. I have tried the various suggestions about editing the memory options in myeclipse-blue.ini, but changing those settings doesn’t seem to make any difference. I have also disabled all validation under Preferences > MyEclipse > Validation, but that doesn’t seem to help either.

    I recently upgraded MyEclipse Blue from 8.5 to 8.6, my specific build is 8.6.1-Blue-20101117. I experienced this problem sometimes in 8.5, but the problem has become much worse in 8.6. My PC is Windows XP SP2 32 bit, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 4 GB RAM.

    I’ve tried various different settings in the ini file, here is what I have currently:

    -startup
    ../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
    –launcher.library
    ../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
    -install
    C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse-Blue-Edition-8.6
    -vm
    C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Common/binary/com.sun.java.jdk.win32.x86_1.6.0.013/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll
    -configuration
    C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse-Blue-Edition-8.6\configuration
    -vmargs
    -Xmx512m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
    -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m

    Thanks,

    Neil

    Neil,

    1) I posted a few questions to the thread below, could you please answer these questions here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/jsp-editor-intolerable-slowly/#post-313192

    2) After the slow down, if you close and reopen the editor, does that improve performance?

    3) Can you replace the vmargs section in your ini file with the snippet below and see if that improves performance?
    -vmargs
    -Xmx768m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m

    4) Do you have a large number of resources in your project or a large number of resources (JS, JSP, HTML) files in your workspace?
