Improve Speed of Folding?
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:08 pm
Since quite a while my IDE starts up really slow.
It will open up a bigger project at start-up (11 sources, maybe 25000 lines of code alltogether), so I expected a little delay before I can start.
But it took 30(!) seconds, until I was able to enter my first character.
That felt not right.
I had a litte time today and did some researching.
Whatever I disabled (auto correction, session history, all external tools, folder observation, auto update, ....), I always ended-up with 30s!
Antivir was also disabled while testing.
I finally came to the folding functionality, I didn't expect that from helping much but disabled it anyway.
From then on the IDE was ready to go within 10 seconds!
That is acceptable, but I really like that folding feature and can hardly live without it.
Any idea why this folding feature is slowing down anything, isn't it an inbuild feature of Scintilla? Could it be improved somehow?
I know the IDE is open source now, but I typically only work on Windows and I would have to install just too many unneccessary things to get that beast compiled.
btw.:
I don't know if folding is slowing down anything in Linux or MacOS as well.
