jEdit takes ages to load, 4+ minutes when before it was seconds
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 20 September, 2004 - 16:03
Hi,

[suse linux 9.0 kernel 2.4.21-243-default i686]

I had jedit 4.1 final and recently it begun taking ages to load jEdit. Time that used to be a few seconds is now 4+ minutes !!!

Also, if i have another program(e.g. cervisia) specify jedit as it's text editor, selecting edit on a file would result in a huge delay before that file appeared in jedit. This huge delay is also in the order of 4+ minutes !!!

I upgraded my java runtime (to 1.5.0) and my jedit to 4.2final, but i still have this problem.


Basically, while it's loading i just get the splash screen up with the jEdit logo and version, and that stays in the foreground until jEdit is fully loaded. (which is a bit of a pain when it takes this long as it can be in the way of other apps).


I use the same apps all the time so nothing stands out in relation to running other apps. Everything else runs fine as far as I can tell.


I would be really grateful if anybody esle out there who may have had this problem could help me with it, or if anybody has any ideas on possibilities.

Also, if i can provide anything that could help in diagnosing this problem just let me know.

Thanks in advance,

dave

a little more info:

this happens on and off. Either right away, or after some time of editing and doing other things.

When jedit starts up normally it takes 2-3 seconds and there is lots of disk activity.

When the 4 minute delay occurs, there is no disk activity during the delay.

Why is jedit waiting ?

Again, any ideas greatly appreciated.
