Slow DevStudio

[Holi the Rob]

Hi

I work on a Pentium II 400 MHz with 128 MB Ram, 4 GB Harddisk, Windows NT 4.0 SP3 Workstation, DevStudio 6.0 SP2 and ClearCase 3.2 (Version Control). For network access we use Hummingbird NFS Maestro 5.0; network access order is: ClearCase, NFS Maestro, Microsoft.

When I work on my project (VC++) I have to wait sometimes over half a minute until a simple action is executed; e.g. when I click on the 'X' for closing a file, it takes over 30 sec until the window disappears; when I want to select another control in a dialog (in the editor) --> the same thing! The project is located in a VOB (ClearCase) on a UNIX machine. Compilation is made locally (Intermediate and output files).
If I open another project from the same location, there is no such problem, even with the same project settings. If I create a new local project there is no problem either.

Could it possibly be that there is a limit for classes and/or dialogs in the same project? And if this limit is exeeded DevStudio gets slow? There are currently 35 Classes and 17 Dialogs/FormViews, each with its Icon, 4 Toolbars.

Can someone help me? It's so tedious to write code like that.

Thanks

Holi

P.S.: Is there another place I should post this?

Hi Holi,

maybe it's Intellisense. I'm working on a huge project, too, and had delays until I switched it off. But it was during typing, don't know whether it has something to do with your delay during closing a window.

>> P.S.: Is there another place I should post this?

I would have put it in the Developer Forum, but that's a personal thing I think.

Have the same problem on a big project (more than 150 cpp files).

Very slow in studio and sometimes (not always) during typing code. I think too the Intellisense make the editor slower but can not be involved for the studio speed.

Perhaps it could be better to find another forum for this problem.

Hope too that someone could help.

My whole machine was slow until I turned off the anit-virus software.

Unfortunatly it didn't help.

I've posted it to the Developer Forum now.

Didn't help

Personally I think its ClearCase.

When working on a project in clear case, I find it brutally slow, even saving a file. When you go to do a build, it takes ages just figuring out what needs to be built.

When working on a local project I dont notice any unreasonable delays.

[Holi the Rob]

That's possible. Could be Hummingbird as well, or both.

I try now with a local Snapshot View. If that doesn't help, I have to resign to the automatic update of my code which is made every night.
Hope the disk wont crash then.

I recognized it, too, that a local project works as fast as every other does.
