Slow DevStudio - What could it be?

[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

I am using Dev-Studio 5 on a pentium II 300 with 256 Meg of Ram. I am not using humming bird or clearcase. I have seen some slowness issues associated with projects I have here. Some projects, not all, take like 30-60 seconds to open up. In one there is only about 7 surce files and 9 header files. with maybe 6 dialog resources. I do not know the source of this problem.
