7.0.2 extremely slow vs 7.0.1 on a mac ?

Hello Dmitri,

Could you please take a CPU snapshot so that we could see exactly what is
slow? In order to enable that, please add -agentlib:yjpagent to the VM options
string in info.plist.

Did anyone noticed that change ?

On my PowerBook 12" G4 1.5 ghz with 1.25 G RAM, 7.0.1 is very fast and
responsive, however, when I run 7.0.2 (with the same memory/jvm
settings as 7.0.1, just copied them) I noticed that it extremely
fast, even when Im just typing a clear code without completions.

It looks like code highliter eats resources, if I will increase
parsing time, things gets easier, but not as fast as with 7.0.1.

Both are running on JDK 1.5.0_07 and memory settings are

 VMOptions
> -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
> -Xbootclasspath/p:../lib/boot.jar -ea

Hi Dmitry,

while connecting profiler and taking the snapshots, I noticed the core of this problem - this is a Java 1.6 %)

In Info.plist of 7.0.1 the preferred JVM version is 1.5 and for 7.0.2 - 1.5+ and 1.6.0 DP is installed on my mac as well, so this why the slowdown, as 1.6 DP works terribly on Mac. I switched preferred java vm to exact 1.5 and 7.0.2 is working perfectly now ! :) Sorry for false signal from my side, it is not an IDEA issue at all.

Regards,
Dmitri

It is not an IDEA issue, just check your IDEA's info.plist file and make sure IDEA IDE is using 1.5.x version of Java but not 1.6
