Aaron Burgemeister commented on DIRSTUDIO-1174:
-----------------------------------------------
It is certainly much better; the load time on my box is around twenty-eight
(28) seconds, as opposed to sixty-four seconds (64) for my current install of
whatever is current, an also compared to about four (4) seconds to load a new
instance with no existing preferences. Doing much better may not be realistic,
and perhaps with the new build I can figure out how to delay loading of schema
files in general, but I have not looked into that for a while. I was able to
delay loading of schema files entirely, but then it broke things like the
schema browser when not yet connected, so more work needed to be done.
For now I think this makes a big enough difference to at least get out the
door, but either a new enhancement to delay loading of schema files in general,
or else leaving this bug for that work is still valid.

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-1174
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-1174
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: studio-connection
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M13
> Environment: openSUSE Linux (installed on my laptop)
> Sun/Oracle Java 1.8.0_111 (previously 1.7 with same issue)
> Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0 M12 and M13, plus earlier milestones too
> Reporter: Aaron Burgemeister
> Priority: Major
> Labels: LDIF, schema, startup-time

> For the past couple years startup of Apache Directory Studio has slowed down
> to the point where it takes more than a minute on my not-a-slouch laptop to
> start. Other systems, VMs with new installs, start much faster, even on the
> same laptop, implying something other than the base product is at fault. As
> a result, I had suspected maybe Directory Studio slowed down precipitously
> due to the number of stored connections, but never confirmed the same.
> Today I connected strace to the 'java' process as it started and noticed the

> Notice the timestamps (bolded near beginning of line) and how they change
> based on whether or not a schema LDIF file was found (bolded near end of
> line) and, presumably, processed. When a file is not found, subsequent files
> are sought immediately without significantly delaying startup.
> These schema files are all under 1 MiB in size, but most of them are several
> hundred KiBs, approaching the 1 MiB size, so depending on what Directory
> Studio is doing as it reads and processes these files, it would seem that
> this introduces the slowness when a file is found.
> Looking for an existing issue I found DIRSTUDIO-1027 which may be related.
> During startup of Directory Studio one of my laptop's eight cores is fully
> utilized, which makes me think this may be more about processing the LDIF
> than just swapping memory due to inefficient data structures, but I am not a
> memory management expert, so I only mention the possibility here in case it
> helps find the root cause quickly.
> My Directory Studio's total startup time: sixty-one (61) seconds.
> Time spent (per strace) reading schema files: fifty-five (55) seconds.
> Estimated non-schema startup time: six (6) seconds.
>
> Steps to duplicate:
> Have a lot, e.g. 100, of stored schema LDIF files from previous connections.
> Startup Apache Directory Studio.
> Expected results: Startup quickly. Processing old schema LDIFs, when most of
> them will not be used at any given time, seems like a waste of time in
> general. Perhaps this can be done only when a connection is accessed in some
> way rather than at startup.
> Actual results: Slow startup.
> Reproducible: I think so, but am not sure why my system has these schema
> LDIFs when others may not.
