I'm sure this has been discussed here before but any search that
includes the word "slow" in the archives turns up 5 trillion results.
This came up as I was coding in BBEdit and using the terminal to compile
and run. I noticed that BBEdit is dog slow after such a cycle. Typing,
scrolling, selecting, everything is affected, and the only way to get
rid of it is to quit BBEdit and launch it again.
I took this up with the folds on the bbedit-talk mailing list and the
response from Bare Bones is that this is an Apple bug. And indeed I'm
noticing these days that other apps are affected. I'm coding in Xcode
recently and after a compile-run cycle, BBEdit, Thunderbird and
REALbasic are slow. These are apps that I often have running, but there
are probably more. An uneducated guess would be that the apps affected
are Carbon, because Safari, NetNewsWire and other Cocoa apps don't do this.
This is Really Annoying! What is the last word on this problem?
(As far as I can tell, this slowdown occurs when running apps in Java
1.4.2. I don't have 1.5 installed. Mac OS X 10.4.2 on a PowerBook G4/550.)
