Re: [equinox-dev] performance problems with Eclipse startup due to long

[Pascal Rapicault <Pascal_Rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some bug fixes got made in 3.4.2, but the main problem is that p2 has to generate metadata on the fly which is a non trivial operation IO-wise.
I would recommend you to generate p2 metadata for all of those 3000 bundles and install them properly using the p2 director.
One bug report about performance of the reconciler is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=251561

---

Hi
I have an Eclipse 3.4.1 install (of ~3000 plug-ins), that's starting for 
about 25minutes. Most of this time is spent in 
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.reconciler.dropins.Activator.start() 
calling (indirectly) DirectoryWatcher.poll().

Looking at several coredumps collected during this startup time it seems 
that all threads wait() or sleep() and only "Start Level Event Dispatcher"
is working. All the time this thread is writing some XML. (See it's 
stacktrace below)

Is this expected behaviour? What XML is actually written?
I also notice that p2 directory has about 600mb.

I was looking for bugs with similar stack traces, but with no luck so 
far - should I open new?
thanks

Jacek
