Re: [eclipse-dev] Team/CVS Planning Meeting Notes - Nov 19, 2003

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All: One of the focusses of Eclipse
R3.0 is to make the UI more responsive by using background operations whenever
possible. The preference to disable background CVS operations was only
put in to allow us to continue to work while the CVS team worked out the
bugs in their code, not as a user configuration option. Since the CVS support
is now working well, and definitely does improve responsiveness on all
platforms, the preference should be removed.

The argument for attaching it to the
performance control (which I'm not sure I buy) is that, on a *very* slow
machine, allowing even one background thread to run, impacts the system
to the point where Eclipse would be unusable. (Of course, you were waiting
before anyway, so it ought to not be worse.) In this case, since the CVS
team understands the demands of their jobs better than anyone else, they
can do a better job of controlling the behavior, up to and including, doing
everything in the foreground. Personally, I don't think it makes sense
to support two complete codepaths through CVS for this, but if it isn't
causing them much grief, then it's fine with me.
