Hi,
since I switched from version 1540 to 1544 my studio 2005 freezes occasionally for 1-2 seconds.
My colleague encountered the same problem.
Best regards,
Simon |

I am glad it was not VA causing this problem. Thank you for the update, hopefully this will help someone else in the future. |

It seems my blaming VA was hasty. Further analysis with FileMon showed that VS2005 was writing to a file called expansionsxml.xml hundreds of times per second. Renaming the file fixed the problem. |

How did you disable the IDE's intellisense? We don't recommend this for C# since VA gets some of its information from the IDE's intellisense in C#.
Is there any pattern to this problem?
Does it only happen when you type? Does changing files trigger it?
As a first step can you try rebuilding your symbol database, to see if this helps:
VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Rebuild symbol databases
You will need to restart the IDE, and then wait a little while for VA to parse the code after doing this. |

I still have this problem with 1549. I am a c# user and have really noticed it since installing the January version of VAX and VS2005 SP1 at the same time (yeah, probably I should have done both at the same time). I am getting very little CPU activity but absolutely huge amounts of disk activity. I have a dual core machine too if that helps. I have disabled the built-in intellisense, it made no difference.
Specific symptoms: I open a solution with about 6 projects in it (3 web, 2 C# class libraries and an Nunit.NET project). The whole IDE is incredibly unresponsive for a couple of minutes - to the point where it is most certainly unusable. Other programs on the machine are OK, but slowed by the huge amount of disk activity. Disabling VAX fixes the problem.

Yes, the issue seems to be resolved in 1549. Thanks for the response. |

nkrishnan the main problem was caused by the way VA parsed included header files that used templates. The fix has been tested successfully by several different people using 1548, and has now been released in 1549.
If 1549 does not fix your problem then you are seeing a separate problem, but can you try 1549 first, since it should fix this:

Hi,
I also installed version 1549 and up to now the problem did not occur again.
Best regards,

I have verified that the fix works, but I have no information on the reason. See my bug report at http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6015. |

Hi, I am running into the same performance problem with the IDE freezing up - I am using VAX version 1548 and VAX is absolutely unusable for me at this point. I have already disabled Intellisense in every way imaginable (deleted the .dll, disabled the checkbox, restarted the IDE etc.)
The moderator seems to indicate this issue is fixed in version 1549. Has anyone verified this? Can the moderator comment briefly on what the issue really was and if a workaround exists for users of version 1548?
Thanks |

I'm seeing the same problem. It seemed to start after I upgraded from 1544 to 1548. Running dualcore CPU, W2K, VS2005 SP1, using C++. IDE freezes for about 5 seconds a short time after opening a file, or switching to an open file after doing some editing of various files. Often does several cycles of this 5 second freeze with random delays in between. It's hard to pin down the conditions; seems somewhat random.
File sizes range from a few hundred lines to a few thousand lines. Project has maybe 100 files.
Sometimes it's irritating enough I often shut off VA-X so I can edit/navigate around! |

Are you seeing this in all files, or only some files?
Are you only seeing this in large files, perhaps 20,000 lines long or longer?
I have emailed you about this. |

Exactly the same thing here (1548). For me, hangs also still happen just when moving the cursor around in the text editor, not only when opening files. I monitored what is happening during these hangs using Sysinternal's ProcessMonitor. I can post the output here if you like but it's pretty long. Seems though that VAX is constantly reading from startup.log (which is about 3MB on my system). May this be the problem? What is it doing this for? |

the freeze is case=5298 |

This is a known side effect, since the IDE's class viewer relies on the IDE's intellisense system.
I only suggested this to see if it would help, some performance problems people have are caused by the IDE's intellisense parser, but not all of them. |

You suggest that rename that dll.
WARNING! If you rename that dll the built-in class view stops working!!

It happens both 1544 and 1548.
I've sent a flash movie to you about this.

I have 2 hard drives. One for the system (C).
The second one partitioned and the drive letters reassigned.
P for programs, T for temp, etc... |

Clearly this should not be happening. Looking back over this thread you said:

Does this problem only show up with 1544 and 1548? I think so, but I am just double checking.
In VA's options -> Quick Config can you try setting all 4 items to "Min" please, and see if this has any effect on this problem?

Of course. I have renamed that dll. And turned off in MSDEV.

With 1544 all files was affected. With 1548 I've checked just a few but they were affected.

No. There are small files in the solution (40-100 lines) and bigger (> 1000) files. All kind of file (header, source) affected.

torokze have you disabled the IDE's intellisense on your system? If not can you please try this?
What language are you programming in?
When you open the files, how are you doing this? Are you using File -> Open, or are you selecting the files from OFIW, or from Solution Explorer?
Are these files part of the solution?
It is almost as if VA is parsing the files when you open them, and the parser is causing this slow down, but it should not have this much impact on your system.
Do you see this with all files, or only some of them?
Does the file size make any difference? What about a 5 line dummy file with no real code in it? |

Sometimes still hangs for a few secs after opening a file.
Not always. The file size doesn't maters.
I've checked the cpu with Sysinternals ProcExp and there is a peak (devenv.exe) when the hang occurs.
The document switching doesn't causes this.
This hanging problem occurs only after opening a file. |

Can you please try upgrading to VA 1548 to see if this makes any difference, this is our current general release build:
details here:
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5946
direct download link:
http://www.wholetomato.com/downloads/VA_X_Setup1548.exe
If this does not help then can you try running a CPU meter, and see if there is a spike of CPU activity that corresponds to this slow down? |

Me too.
I disabled default intellisense by renaming the dll, it didn't seem to help much.
I usually notice this when I open a new file and start scrolling around it in, all of vs2005 freezes for about a second. There is nothing displayed on the bottom status bar during the freezes (VAX isnt parsing or anything).

That should not happen. As a first step can you try disabling the IDE's intellisense parser please, and see if this makes any difference:

If this does not help can you please go to:
VA Options -> About -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into this thread. This will give us the basic information about your setup. |
