    lui main - 2002-11-13

    there is a strange behaviour on my computer:

    if i open a projekt a thread is startet by dev-cpp which takes 90% of my cpu and slow down everything else, including the IDE and the compiler

    if i set the priority of the whole dev-cpp task to 'idle' normal work with the IDE etc. is possible, but the myst thread still takes all remaining cpu-time

    can anybody explain what happens (maybe a resolution to switch off an indexing process or so ???)
       thx

      It's probably because of code completion or code caching.  Check the status bar right after you open the project, it'll probably say parsing some file.

      Cheers,

      thx, but this isn't the point (i tried nearly all combinations off completion/caching/classbrowser/syntax highlighting on/off)

      parsing is done in 0,x seconds

      the power consuming thread appears after opening any file, even normal text

      if i wrote a new one everthing works fine (syntax highlighting still works) until i close it and reload from disk

      but there is no general failure in the opening files because project opening without loading a file in the editor works

      very strange :-(

      You've got me stumped...
