Slow editing in Ubuntu Feisty

(1/2) > >>

Sastraxi:
Hi,
The nightly builds have been too slow for my system which is otherwise pretty decent in the performance arena.
It's an Athlon XP 2500+ with a Geforce 6600, and 1 gb of RAM. I can play games and such fine. But scrolling is
just painfully slow, and typing is very slow as well. I'll provide more details, but I don't know what to suggest.

I'm currently running the VERY latest nightly.

The problem persists with different window managers (I use beryl, mostly).

I'm sorry because i can't help you. But, IMHO, it's probably something wrong in your box setup, because i'm running an up-to-date C::B (compiled from svn sources against wxGTK-2.8.4) with an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 1GB RAM, nVidia Geforce3 (propietary rev.8776 drivers) and openSUSE 10.2 (GNOME 2.16.1), and all is running relatively fine (i've enabled all the core and contrib plugins and the default configuration -e.g. code completion, et al-).

How much processes are you running simultaneously when executing C::B?

Edit: more detailed enviroment.

Try disabling all plugins and see if it is still so slow; if it is you can be pretty sure it's something on your side (without the plugins C::B is pretty much "just an editor").

There have been many people posting builds for Ubuntu lately. Make sure the build that you use is linked with wxGTK 2.8.4, all other versions of wxGTK are buggy.

The only build that I can personally vouch for is cstudent's. That will be the .deb link in the very first post in each nightly build thread.

Sastraxi:
Thanks for your replies.

Deschamps:
top gives me 144 tasks running, with all but 2 sleeping. I can reproduce this with having nothing but codeblocks open (but Gnome's panel and all that is still running). CPU is about 2.0% used, with it spiking up to 10% when I'm typing this in Firefox.

rjmyst3:
I have added the wxWidgets repository and am using 2.8.4 (note that the problem occurred also when the builds were linked to 2.6.x), and the package I am using is indeed the deb file from the first post in the nightly build thread.

Alturin:
I am unhappy to report that even upon disabling every plugin, saving the "default" thing and reloading it, the responsiveness is identically sub-par.

Oh, and I should note that I'm using the 9631 drivers, and Gnome 2.18.1.
