So after all these years of using [and loving] Delphi 5, I finally decided to upgrade to Delphi 2005 Enterprise. Then I waited a year to install it.
Now that I am using it, I am getting a lot of very squirrelly behaviors. Using the Jedi JVCL310 appears to drive it crazy. About every third day, trying to start Delphi is impossible. It takes hours (literally) to start up. By dumping all of the Jedi VCL code and then reinstalling it, the load time goes from hours to minutes. Still slow, but livable. Then, when I am using it, I can watch the memory usage climb steadily in the Task Manager. It starts out at about 75Meg, and then every edit, every compile, or even just sitting there, it starts to climb. When I run from the IDE, the memory usage of BDS drops to about 20M. then, closing down the application takes it back where it was, and then some. Once it climbs to using over 1 G of Ram, it starts getting GPFs when anything is done in the editor. I have even seen some "out of memory" dialogs pop up. I am using a brand new Dell XPS410 machine with 4 G of RAM and XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 2. Anyone else seeing this kind of crap? I have installed the Delphi 2005 Enterprise service pack, so the About screen shows: BDS for Windows, Version 9.0.1761.24408. Help. Reinstalling did not help, nor did removing as much of the .NET stuff. jamie
