[Squirrel-sql-users] performance issues when switching panels

[Mark N. <mar...@ho...>]

Hi,

I normally have 3-5 concurrent SQuirreL sessions open to various schemas.  
When I upgraded from 1.2beta5 to version 2.0 a couple months back, I started 
to have a lag when switching from one session to another.  In 1.2beta5, 
clicking in a different panel would switch to that session instantly, like 
clicking into a different window to switch applications at the system level. 
  After upgrading, there was a 3-4 second lag before the new panel became 
active -- not a crippling problem, but annoying.  This occurs when directly 
clicking a panel or using the "Active Session" drop-down.  I've switched to 
version 2.1 today; my perception is that it is a little faster in this 
regard (although I didn't put a stopwatch on either version), but still a 
couple seconds to activate a panel.

Does anyone else see this, or have an explanation ??  I've wondered if there 
is some behind the scenes monitoring going on, to keep code completion and 
other options up to date.  BTW, I had switched to 1.2beta6 quite a while 
back, but saw similar (or the same) issues; I eventually was interested 
enough in code completion that I was willing to take the delay.

Thanks for the advice,

Mark
