User : Delphi 2006 is just to slow, ... crashes, ...
TeamB : Have you applied all the patches and hotfixes?
User : Yes!
...silence
:-)))
 

I'm using Delphi 2006 for ASP.net programming, and I run it while two
or three instances of Delphi 7 is running (for our Win32 apps), and I
don't think it is slow, and it doesn't crash. The only reason why we
haven't gone to Delphi 2006 for our Win32 programs is that we don't
have bandwidth at the moment to convert over.
Then again, at work I have 1.25 GB memory, and at home 2GB memory.
That could make a difference. Perhaps people complaining about
slowness are running at 512MB or less. While it wasn't slow before the
hotfixes, it got faster with the hotfixes.

Delphi 2006 is more stable and faster than Delphi 7!
For all those who have stability and speed problems i recommend:
- Make your own turbo configuration! Turn off all features you don't need
for your daily work.
Read carefully the tips by Mark Edington:
homepages.borland.com/medington/DelphiStartupTimes.htm
- Start Delphi with the -np parameter.
- Turn off all packages you don't need every time and make this your default
project configuration.
- Turn off Error Insight.
- Use the embedded designer.
- Install DelphiSpeedUp. andy.jgknet.de/dspeedup/
- Deinstall CTFMON.EXE (from MS Office). tinyurl.com/m9fju
- Apply the latest hotfix rollup.
And you will see the huge difference.

_not_ good. And I am used to have _all_ components at hand, if they fit to a
particilar project or not. I don't want to invest half an hour to switch
some on, and I don't want to switch some on later because I need them then.
Why should I ever do that? The old D5 has no problems whatsoever to handle
hundreds of components.
I am sorry, but that is not what I call a effective method.

as I stated above.
I assume, most people who are complaining about speed issues start with the
full bloated BDS configuration and hundreds of components loaded. IMO this
is counterproductive. Make a minimal default configuration, load only the
essential packages as default project and use the others as option.
With Delphi 7 I got exceptions when exiting and more de{*word*81} crashes than
in BDS.
And the compiler optimization was broken with Delphi 7 update #1.

beginning of the project I decide which packages are needed.
The package configuration gets saved with the project.
IMO this much more productive than loading hundreds of components which I
dont't need for the project. I used this approach already with D7.
and you loose time by refocus suddenly hidden windows.
Maybe this is getting better with D2007. (But now I'd prefer the
embedded designer anyway.)

causes the crash on exit. To find out which, uncheck each of your
components in Components->Install Packages one at a time and stop and
restart Delphi. When it quits crashing, that is the component set that is
causing the problem. However, even when it does crash on exit, nothing
is harmed. I know it is unclean, but I can live with it.

I'm not complaining, other than that it is been solid. Only that I have
to use the task manager to kill it when that happens. That plus
sometimes I get "couldn't find TStringFileSystem" or something like
that when I start Delphi, but that could also be a third part component.

Not Delphi 7. Sometimes I have three Delphi 7 instances open for a
whole week. Only reason I have to exit, is so that I can undock the
notebook and take it home or when I travel. Also, I run StarTeam,
Outlook, SQLServer 2000 enterprise manager, BDS 2006, along with the
Delphi 7's and it is stable.

Hi,
I use Delphi 2006 with several big projects (more 300.000 Lines + 100
Units) ...
For my impression D2006 (also without the Bugfixes) slower then Delphi 7 bug
not to slow
Also it is much better for managing big projects then D7.
with best regards
