Hello,
I have a suggestion for Visual Assist X, where users can have a sliding bar under performance to select how much cpu time should be given to Visual Assist X to keep symbols up to sync. Personally, I find that Visual Assist X takes a little while to update the symbols for newly added member variables in my C++ project. With this performance bar, I think this would solve the problem because I could give the process of keeping track of symbols more priority, and thus maybe just use some more processor cycles to make sure the symbol database is always up to date.

Sincerely,
James Simpson

you could always stop typing now and then for a few moments, think about what you are doing, and let VAX use the idle time to catch up on its parsing

another alternative is to bind a keyboard shortcut to VAssistX.ReparseCurrentFile and trigger this when you detect that VAX is lagging.

the idea of a slider does make sense, but my understanding of VAX's parsing is that it only does this when the machine is idle, so that it will not interfere with you typing. a slider would seem to conflict with this approach.
