Hi,
I have been using CodeBlocks for hobby projects for a while now and upgraded from the 2020 Version to the 25.03 Version a while back.
However I have noticed some very slow reaction times in the 25.03 version and investigated the issue, which I did not have with C::B 2020.
Especially when I close files, it freezes the application for about 10 seconds, which doesn't make any sense to me.
I also noticed that C:B consumes 4GB of RAM by just starting it, pushing my memory to above 90% used. Is this normal? I'm sorry to compare but Visual Studio with a loaded complex project only consumes ~500MB of RAM.
Also while closing my project the RAM usage suddenly increases by 1GB and never quite goes down again. How does that make any sense?
Finally, I have to reload my project quite often because I use cmake to re-generate the project file whenever I add or change resources etc. and that also takes about 30-45 seconds, which feels a bit painful.
I'm on windows 11 (8GB RAM), using msys2, mingw64, cmake, ninja, with CodeBlocks.
I don't remember having an issue with CB 2020 before (closing files being slow).
1) Can I do anything to reduce the RAM usage of CB or 2) the file closing issue? 3) Is this amount of memory usage expected?
I already reinstalled CodeBlocks and got rid of an unrelated "lib_finder.dll not found" error, thanks to forum posts, maybe you can help me out here, too?
Thank you.
