Yes; those were what I've zapped.

But for quite some time, I've found it necessary to peridoically delete all
the PCDs as they accumulate some kind of execution-blocking cruft.  I think
I even had to do this in 5, definitely for all of 7.


Also, as I switch back and forth between 8.1.1 and 8.1.2rc2, it's
definitely a change between them.

I can't reproduce this on command, but it only happens in rc2, not 8.1.1.

I tried going back to 8.1, which was noticeably better, and 7.1.4, which
was *much* better.

Deleting the red dots didn't do it in 8.1.2.


I meant the prefs file in ~/Library/Preferences/RunRev/LiveCode7.rev

The script editor has acted like this when changing tabs for years, but not
this bad.

I can't actually test for this; it comes and goes.

When it happens, though, I seem to be waiting on a breakpoint in one of the
6k line main scripts.

Not even 6k lines . . . :)

I'm not thinking cause, but there is a correlation :)

(I've taught far to many statistics classes to make the implication :)  In
fact, the lack of implication was one of the "Big 3" I wanted them to leave
the class with . . .)

[now that's odd; I had thought that this one was over 10k . . . but I
cleaned commented out cruft that had accumulated a few weeks ago]

I'm not seeing it. How long is the script? Does it happen on scripts 
with fewer lines?

Is this another hawking-only thing, or are others seeing it?

It is unlikely that this message is actually bogging down the system. Indeed 
this message is a performance optimisation to avoid saving the preferences file 
multiple times in quick succession.

molassus IDE and revInternal_savePrefs

[Dr. Hawkins]

I'm not sure that I got the name right, but I'm frequently seeing the IDE
go to molasses while debugging, and delays of the better part of a minute
from apparently stopping and actually settling on the breakpoint.  It knows
that the script is running.

On a while, I clicked the mail logo in the message box, and it appears that
a message to the effect   of revInternal_savePrefs or some such is there
about 90% of the time when this happens.

Is this another hawking-only thing, or are others seeing it?
