jEdit needs time to respond under Windows XP

Submitted by weberjn on Monday, 28 January, 2008 - 10:15

Hi,

occasionally (about once or twice during a workday) when I Alt-Tab to jEdit, it takes several (10-15) seconds until I see jEdit's Gui and it accepts input.
But most of the time it is immediately visible and accepts input.

Has anybody else seen this behavour?

It looks like Windows XP has swapped out jEdit and needs time to load in again, or if the Java VM is waiting for something to become available.

I start jEdit with jEdit launcher using

D:\jdk1.6.0_04\bin\javaw.exe -mx64m -jar jedit.jar

Thanks,
Juergen

network?

Could it be, that jedit has to wait for network response, because there is a remote file open (network share or via ftp)?

Samba

Yes, you are right, that's probably the cause. I have open files on a Samba share in a Zen partition. Even in Windows explorer it takes sometimes time to copy or so.
Seems, jEdit checks at each activation edited files for changes, is it?

Thanks,

There is an option to control that

The following option controls what jEdit does when open files are changed:

Utilities -> Global Options -> General -> If open files are changed on disk:

I assume that if you set it to "do nothing", it will avoid this check.
