Request to improve the speed performance of the GUI
Please provide more details. Which aspects in particular?
Here a few examples of areas that could us improvement: Example 1 Start WSAD, go to Preference --> Plug-in Development. It takes 6 secs to show something on the right panel. . Example 2 Go to Preference --> Profiling --> Logging options. It took 20 secs to show something on the right panel. . Example 3 Try to switch view, it sometimes takes 5 seconds. . Example 3 speculation if inactive for overnight --> 30 sec to switch view if inactive for ~2 hour --> 5 sec to switch view.
The Profile page is in WSAD, not Eclipse. Please file a PR for Example 2 against WSAD.
Example 1: There have been performance improvements in PDE. Further improvements are a post 2.0 request. Example 2: Not part of eclipse Example 3: The time to switch views is likely caused by plugin activation which is not a defect. We delay activation as long as we can. What the user will see is a delay the first time, subsequent times will be much faster. Please enter a new defect report with steps. Example 3: Speculation This is a jre/OS behavior where pages are being swapped out and you pay the price to page the memory back in.
