Using MyEclipse Build id: 8.5-20100319
I find that I am getting terrible performance which is really hampering my development. Particularly when I am editing JSP files, XML files and sometimes even property files.
First, if I am on a Java file and click a tab to switch to one of the files mentioned above, it will take several seconds before that tab actually loads. Whenever I switch focus out of that tab and page to it, it is a similar delay. And usually when I highlight text or start typing in those files I experience delays as well. It seems as if MyEclipse keeps trying to do “something” while I am editing these files and it causes a delay which causes me grief. Any idea what this behavior could be and how I can disable it?
Thanks for your time.
Edit: Also noticing that stepping through in Debug is taking insanely long – I mean waiting 10 seconds or more on each step on very minor statements (such as if (str.equals(“Something”)) )
My machine is not terrible, I use Visual Studio 2008 on it fine, I use TOAD 10 fine, and I used a previous version of MyEclipse – version 6 I think – and it was stepping through some of these same classes fine.
Something is seriously wrong with my configuration – something is eating up resources and I’d love to find out what so that I may disable it
