JBuilder 5.0.295.0 Enterprise Edition on a Pentium P733 with 500MB Ram under Windows NT Service Pack 5... and boy can it be slow. I do not run anything else (as switching to anything else causes a hang that can last anything from 15 seconds to a minute or so). The project is on my local disk (I and everyone else here has given up on using it over the network). I have no performance problems with any other applications on my desktop so it is not a badly configured environment.
I have noticed that the more experienced users have certain ways of using the IDE that avoid the problems I seem to run into on a regular basis. For example right clicking on an object in the navigator on the left is excruciatingly slow (if it works at all - sometimes I just get no menu at all) so avoid it and do everything on the menu bar at the top. There are a number of things like that. This is Ok when you have no choice in the IDE. However I am not happy that I have to avoid certain features on the IDE because it is so slow, or simply doesn't work. I have been using it now in anger on my current project for about 5 months now and have to say I have been very underwhelmed by the experience.
