Delphi 2006 - Trying Again - Slow Slow Slow |
Thu, Apr 6 2006 4:11 PM | Permanent Link |
Sean McCall | Hi,
I decided to give D2006 a try again. For the first time I actually got some D6 component code to compile & so moved on to typing in some new code. Its like typing on a circa 1981 computer terminal using an acoustic coupler... the character display is almost a second behind the keyboard & the CPU usage jumps to 100%. Anyone had this problem or know the cure? Thanks, Sean |

Steve Forbes Team Elevate | Hi Sean,
> Anyone had this problem Not at all, I am using D2006 regularly and have not had any of the performance or lag problems you describe. The PC I generally use it on is a middle-of-the-road P4 3Ghz with 1Gb RAM. -- Best regards Steve "Sean McCall" <NoSpam@nowhere.com> wrote in message news:EC67FFA2-2916-4ACA-94DF-A4A463B6D961@news.elevatesoft.com... > Hi, > > I decided to give D2006 a try again.

"Clive" | I would try and remove every trace of it, and reinstall..

You should do what I did and subscribe to the borland.public.delphi.ide.general newsgroup and you'll find lots of stuff about this. First and most important - Tools | Options | Editor Options | Code Insight | Error Insight - DISABLE IT It seems that it both slows things down and cocks things up (I'm not keen on squiggly red lines under 90% of the code either . There are some others - like get rid of the together stuff and the star team stuff. It starts to get reasonable then. I'm still fighting with it. One of my other favourites is that I customise the tool palette - D2006 kept on puting all the 3rd party stuff back in the categories their registration procedure said to use. I ended up altering all the ones I had source for so they'd stay put. Roy Lambert |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Error Insight seemed to be the problem for me (i.e. slow, slow, slow)
Once I disabled it, everything seemed to be essentially the same as D7 in performance. I can't be sure but I think my apps work a little faster. I have had 1 occasion where things did seem to slow down (not as slow as before) but a reboot (or was it just a restart of Delhi) fixed that. Overall, I am getting quite used to the D2006. Still like my old slippers tho' (D7) Jon Roy Lambert wrote: > Sean > > > You should do what I did and subscribe to the borland.public.delphi.ide.general newsgroup and you'll find lots of stuff about this.

Yeah (in my case D6). In my case there are some annoying bits - like code completion - its nice of it to add the end; but why the extra blank line after it? Roy Lambert |

Sean McCall | Roy,
Why go to borland.public.delphi.ide.general? I've got you here to distill it all in a quick post Good tips. I noticed the red squigglies so I bet that is it. I'll give it a test when I get back from vacation. One nice thing about D2006 is that it found some ambiguous calls to overloaded methods that D6 missed. I can actually hold off from D2006 a little longer because I also inadvertantly found out what was causing my internal compiler errors (present in D6, not in D2006). The problem was a string property that used inherted methods from another unit. The compiler failed on an internal error when chosing "RUN" in the IDE when that property is assigned a string constant. Doesn't happen when "BUILD ALL" is selected. Pretty obscure and just minor pain, but it became a show stopper when it wouldn't compile a unit in a component package. I worked around it by writing new methods in the component where the redundant property was surfaced and simply referenced the inherited methods from there. I still don't like the way D2006 takes up more screen real estate, so I'm pushing the boss for a nice 24" monitor to help me take the big plunge. Thanks!

>Why go to borland.public.delphi.ide.general? I've got you >here to distill it all in a quick post Because there's lots of stuff there, and if the red squiggles hadn't annoyed me I wouldn't have done anything about it and wouldn't have been able to tell you <vbcg>. Plus there's other stuff - definitely worth wading through. >I still don't like the way D2006 takes up more screen real >estate, so I'm pushing the boss for a nice 24" monitor to >help me take the big plunge. Go for a wide screen monitor - I'm using an HP zd8000 and its great. Roy Lambert |
