Really slow project browser

[John20012a]

Hello,

I've reversed enginnered a medium-sizes project into EA (5000 elements).

The project browser is really slow to react. Clicking on an item delays the GUI for 4-5 seconds.

Is there any way to optimize the model and improve it's performance?

Thank you,

John.

What build of EA are you using, and what (if any) repository DBMS is your model stored in?

Thank you very much for your reply.

I found the problem - it was the hierarchy window - it was open and

it slowed everything down.

Thanks!

it SURE DOES!

You soon learn not to have it open...  

Unfortunately, apart from a warning when you first open the window, I'm not sure there's much that can be done about it...

The Hierarchy window response time can be improved: go to "Tools > Options > General" and change the values of "Max Hierarchy View Depth" and "Open Hierarchy View to". Some time ago I did some experiments and found that increasing the depth by 1 will approximately double the time to load the hierachy tree.

Yes Neil...

It's one of those "Pays your money, takes your choice" deals...

I think, though, one of the problems is "blocking" (which is what John, and we all experience).  Could it be spooled into a background thread?  The thread would need to be "killed" if the user moved to another item.  The window would be disabled while the tree was being assembled.
