I did a search at eclipse.org for "debugger performance" and similar, and got a lot of hits. According to the posts I read, it sounds like the typical application runs 3-4 times slower under the 2.x debugger (some even slower; depends on whether the app is compute- or I/O-bound) and that there are known problems with the 3.x debugger being another factor of 2-4 slower than that. So we're easily in the 10-20x times slower category already, just from the known characteristics of the 3.x debugger. I'm sure they're working on the 3.x issue, anyway. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Science and Engineering PSEs Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
