#31 Performance drop off with large number of files

[Shyamal Prasad]

JDEE slows down if a large number of files are opened one after the other.

As reported on http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/JavaDevelopmentEnvironment

JDEE does not scale well when opening many Java files. Try ‘emacs find . -name “*.java”’ on a mere 50 Java files and you’ll observe each Java file take progressively longer to load. Much more than 50 and you’ll reach intolerable latencies starting Emacs. When I disable JDEE and open the same source code files in stock java-mode, Emacs initializes in a flash.

I can see this with JDEE 2.4.1 when opening the Java source files in the JDEE tree.
