Enhance JEdit speed
Submitted by on Tuesday, 14 August, 2007 - 17:34
Hi All !
Since a longer time, I am a big fan of JEdit. This is the one side. On the other hand, I must prevent me regularly from writing "JEdit is the world slowest editor" [So I don't put this into the subject
].
The usual problem - on windows so far - is that the process is outswapped and re-loading all parts needs a long time. I do not know why. This is true on all of my machines and between the slowest [450MHz] and the fastest [2.4GHz] is not much difference while working. The problem mostly appears, if JEdit is re-called from the taskbar [re-aktivated, made the top-level window now].
The Eclipse community has the same problem, see:
description [http://www.javaperformancetuning.com/news/roundup045.shtml] and
solution [http://suif.stanford.edu/pub/keepresident]
I found this solution today, while I was looking for something like that - due to the last big hung of JEdit. I'll just recommend to implement this solution for JEdit too.
Any comments are welcome!
Best regards,
mabra
