Hi,
I've encountered this in the alpha and now again in the beta: PODS sometimes hogs the CPU for no apparent reason. I'm trying it out with a simple project created by the Project Wizard. When I edit and save a source file, PODS freezes a while and hogs the CPU (100% usage) before it gets round to actually compiling the modified source code.
These freezes are the result of PODS parsing all the C/C++ code in your open projects. Unfortunately, the CDT release that this version of the tools is based on doesn't handle multithreading very well, and this is a common occurrence. The Palm OS header files are also to blame. <PalmOS.h> includes an awful lot of headers, and CDT 1.2 doesn't cache this information very well. We are working on improvements in this area.
Using standard make instead of managed make will help. So will keeping the number of open projects to a minimum.
