20050317 If you try and create a class during a long build you will eventually get blocked by the indexer with little feedback to the user except a blocked job dialog with no info. STEPS 1) Load all of the SDK into you workbench 2) Create a project unrelated to any of them 3) Start the build 4) Try to create a class 5) You will be blocked by the build 6) Cancel the build job 7) You will still be blocked but you will not know why I profiled while I did this and discovered that the indexer was taking a lot of the time - I expect this was because workspace locks were being used locking out the whole workspace (my class was unrelated to those being built). I will attach a trace
Created attachment 19055 [details] Indexer trace
We could play with indexer thread priority change. When building lower it, and put it back up at the end. When search query starts in parallel, it is pumped up.
I cannot reproduce this. As soon as I cancel the build job, my class is created even though the indexer is busy. Tod, if you can reproduce, please attach a stack dump from when you're blocked.
