Hello BDS2006 users (makers),
I would like to share the following: I have a projectgroup in BDS2006 (C++
personality) containing 3 lib's, 9 dll's and 5 exe's that together make up a
business app. Since I switched over to BDS2006 I have experienced a strange
and annoying behaviour of the IDE that did not occur in BCB5 or BCB6. After
initially loading the projectgroup nothing is wrong. Editing goes quickly
enough. However, after making a few changes to one or two projects and doing
a make or two the IDE goes into 'sluggish mode'. When I put the cursor
somewhere in the white and put my hands on my back, the CPU load ranges
steadily from 40 to 50%. As soon as I move the cursor along a line of code
the CPU load jumps to 100%. Also simply moving the mouse back and forth
makes the CPU scream. Editing, like inserting text and moving the cursor, is
very slow, and the CPU fan is howling.
I have killed options like 'show line numbers', 'code insight' etc. but with
no effect. On the other hand, a projectgroup with only one project does not
show this odd behaviour.
Who knows what this is about, or better yet, has a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Bert Buikema

I would suggest that you check to see if this is one of them
and if not, add it to the list to make fixing the ProjectGroup
a higher priority.

Hi Bert,
I am using BDS2006 with a large project group with about 15 libraries,
3 executables and a DLL but have not experienced this problem. I have
Update 2 running and have had it running since almost day one with the
software. One thing that caused my software to move into a far less
efficient mode of running was the use of the virus scanner on my
machine.
So...
1. What update are you using? If not 2 then I suggest updating and see
if it has an effect.
2. Are you running a virus scanner, if so, disable it temporarily and
see if the problem persists.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Daniel
