Re: Java slows down other apps?



We just had a chat about a similar issue with Eclipse last week, and I think it might be related:

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=95475

Various notes in this report suggest the OS X bug that affected Eclipse also effects other, non-Java apps. I swear I've seen this too, but not near so often as with Eclipse. If this is true, then the bug should be fixed with 10.4.3, due any day now I think.

Hi!

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.)
