Build 957 Performance
I think it is really obvious that Build 957 feels much slower than even
the last build. For instance, it takes over two and a half minutes just
to bring up IDEA--once everything is parsed and such.
When I make a change to a file, it takes about 10 seconds or more to highlight
all the errors introduced. For example, if I remove a class field I want to
find all the places it was used. Before, it seemed almost instantaneous. At
least I saw the results in roughly 2 seconds or less.
My guess is that JetBrains introduced a butt-load of assertions into the code,
because the issues I had on startup were assertion failures. The weight of all
the error checking seems to be really noticeable.
Now, to see if my guess is correct, how do we customize the startup command line
to turn off assertion checking? It would be really interesting to see how much
of an effect it is having. If there is no perceived change in performance, then
IDEA has a lot of profiling to do before GM.

AFAIK assertions are turned off by default for Java applications unless
the programmer explicitely enables them. They are not enabled from the
command line but they are probably enabled from within IDEA via
setDefaultAssertionStatus(boolean). Therefore playing with the command
line options might have no impact.

I'm not talking about for my own applications. I am talking about IDEA
itself. I can tell you know that assertions are turned on for the IDEA
application itself. THe exceptions being sent in from the actions I do
are AssertionFailedExceptions. I am well aware of how to turn assertions
on and off for my own applications developed with IDEA.
For me it seems at least as fast as 944, and I really think it is faster overall.

startup time is measurably slower, and error highlighting is also measurably
slower.
You know, my build 957 feels faster - it crashes faster :(

Overall I felt that things were faster --- but it feels like there is longer
delay before the editor reparses/checks for errors/resolves references.
Just my perception.

That is my observation as well. In fact, that is why I posted this message.
I would go farther and say that it does not just feel like a longer delay,
but there is a longer delay. Much longer.
It can take anywhere up to 20 seconds to reparse, check for errors, and resolve
references.
Before it was maybe 5 seconds tops.
That and the documented strangeness with the startup time.
I second that, re/parsing seems to have slowed down in 957
And I forgot to add -- this is feels pretty good to me -- better than
having it trying to reparse and be laggy while I am typing
Perhaps if the reparse lag time was a tune-able for those of us who want
more real-time-like parsing?
Or is it already?

I have noticed this as well. Incrementally with the 9xx releases, the parsing has gotten slower. 957 seems to have taken a big jump with this. The other problem I have found is synchronization can take forever. If you happen to hit a reparse, sync and GC at the same time, which can easily happen with the default 128M heap size, IDEA can start meditating and take up to 5 minutes to stop.
Unfortunately, my project makes heavy use of XDoclet and all interfaces for EJBs and other objects are generated. If I do a clean build, IDEA gets very upset. It seems to reparse everything instead of creating a checksum for each file and only reparsing if the checksum changes. I try to avoid clean builds whenever possible :)
Guys, lets speak in numbers :). Insert these lines in your log.xml
inside log4j:configuration tag (it is in $IDEA_HOME/bin):

I think it will work. If no please send me a message (there could be
some problems with scrambled code). You'll see something like:
-
DEBUG - n.impl.GeneralHighlightingPass - Java highlight: 457
element: 'fullPath' class
com.intellij.psi.impl.source.tree.java.PsiReferenceExpressionImpl; size:8
DEBUG - n.impl.GeneralHighlightingPass - Java highlight: 92
element: 'ArrayList<' class
com.intellij.psi.impl.source.PsiJavaCodeReferenceElementImpl; size:23
...
DEBUG - n.impl.GeneralHighlightingPass - totalTime = 0.24s
for 1005 elements
-
last totalTime is what you are talking about (the highlighting/resolve
part). Try this on 944 and 957. I don't think you'll have noticeable
differences but if you do please send me a message or post a bug with
your example.
Thanks,

The last huge class is a special case -- it's a recursive descent parser
which is a bit difficult to split into multiple classes.
This is on a 1.8 GHz P4 with 1 GB of RDRAM.

If I get you right it's for the first time highlighting. For second time
results should be a bit better (change something in the class body to
force the full reparse). What's about previous build?

Yes, that's quite a lot faster, though it's different from time to time.
I'll have to check that when I have some more time, right now I
unfortunately have some other work to do.
These are my experiences exactly. 957 is much slower for me too.
Hi Jonas!
Thank you very much for your analysis.

Usually we deal with second time highlighting, that's why this number is
important.
We made some more caching in 957 and expected better results on big
files (which our performance tests show). But, yes it could reduce
performance on small classes that are build on the top of large
hierarchies (JComponent, etc.).
Thanks,

I have seen scenarios with 957 where secondary reparses take quite a bit of time, but are not consuming large amounts of CPU (actually, doesn't seem to be consuming any CPU).
I'm undecided as to whether I should file a bug report, unless I can quantify and refine the problem.

Hmmm....
According to the log, the GeneralHighlightingPass itself does not take long
at all. In fact the longest it ever took was 1.722 seconds which is more than
reasonable.
The thing is that during the same session, the set of highlighting on the screen
did not change for much longer than that. I would have included a stack trace--
if there was one to include.
One thing that I did to make the apparent problem happen this time is that I
opened up a project with a couple files that referenced interfaces that were
outside the defined project source directories (someone moved where they were).
When I added the new path back in the project, there was a short time of parsing
(a second or two), and then the errors remained highlighted on the open files.
I had to switch to another application and back to IDEA to force a redraw of the
screen. Once that happened, the source file looked green again.
I have no stack trace for you, so the problem is not the processing speed, it
is the lack of screen refresh.

I noticed that there are issue with UI forms parsing in 957 too.
The form code - I use the UI codegen switch in project properties - gets generated every time on 'compile' or 'run' and the form or source is not touched at all. Even when doing a build first and then run the app Idea goes to parse the form again and make the project.
Also, it generates the different code often for the same form. Ordering of the Swing components properties gets changed, and this makes the CVS thinks it needs to check in the form every time. This all was ok in 944.
