Delays when coming back into jEdit
Submitted by hurricanedavid on Friday, 1 April, 2011 - 19:35
Let's say I'm clicking around in any other windows program (e.g. Firefox, Outlook), then I click back in the jEdit window... it hangs for several seconds before resuming function. Same if I Alt-Tab or click.

Once I'm in jEdit, I experience no performance issues.

But I often flip back and forth between email or browser, etc, and jEdit. It's a real pain to have to wait 5 seconds every time.

Could it be memory? Is there something I can add to the startup string that might help?

I did it on my Windows XP computer with 3gb Ram, and now it's doing it on my Windows 7 computer with an I7 proc and 4gb of RAM.

jEdit 4.4pre1 server mode, using Java 1.6.0_23
I am running a dual monitor setup.

Please goto "Utilities -> Global Options -> General" and look for "Check for file change upon". The default for this setting is "application focus" an means, that every time jedit gets the focus it compares the open buffers against the corresponding files in the file system.

That's why I suspect that You may have buffers open that belong to files on a slow network drive or on remote locations like ftp. If so, You could try to change this setting.

Oh holy cow!

You have just saved me tons of time in waiting!

I usually have files from a slow server open. That was it!

Thanks!
