Re: eclipse 3.1.1 and choppy audio

If you will run top, you will see that Eclipse 3.2 consumes tons of CPU even when it is doing nothing hanging in background.  This is the reason for your problems with sound.

Thank you very much for this - it did reveal the problem (I think).  However, it wasn't eclipse that was the cause but a process called "VShieldChe" that was taking up over 80% of my CPU!!

I checked the internet and it turns out this is an incompatibility between Virex 7.5 and Mac OX X Tiger:


Search for "VShieldChe" on the page.

I've uninstalled Virex using the instructions on the apple developer page:


So far everything is looking (and sounding) good.  iTunes shows 6.2% whilst playing Stevie Wonder, java shows as 1.6% and eclipse as 0.0% (as its doing nothing).  I'm using the newly released Milestone 4 so maybe this has solved any previous issues with Eclipse.  It looks like Eclipse, iTunes and everything else were competing with Virex for access to the CPU which together showed the problem.

The version of the top command that i used was "top -ocpu -O+rsize -s 5 -n 20" which is the first example in the man top pages.  Really useful utility.

Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Best Regards,

Ian Cheyne

Yes, I am seeing this too!  I'm using a Dual 2GHz G5.  I've only just upgraded to Eclipse 3.2 (Milestone 4) from 3.0 and noticed this for the first time (I almost always have iTunes running in the background).  The only other change to  my system was the latest J2SE update via Software Update.  However, I upgraded Eclipse after this and it seems that it was Eclipse causing the problem.  I'm running Eclipse under 1.4.2_09.

Best Regards and a Happy New Year to everyone,

Ian Cheyne
