My Flexbuilder slowness has reached a new record high. After thinking that 3mins was completely unbearable, the new record is approaching 8minutes.
This is with all possible attempts / options of setting FB up for optimal build time. I am working with a library project which i build then copy over to my main project which I then build manually, which then takes its record breaking 8mins, even for a small line of code change. Next I debug the project. And of course the whole process has to start over if there was a compiler or runtime error. So, apart from complaining dismally about it, here are the various attempts I have made to improve on build time 1) Uncheck the following Flex Compiler options - Copy non-embedded files to output directory - Verify digests - Enable integration with browser navigation (deeplinking) 2) Turn of 'Build Project Automatically' 3) Reference only SWC's of external library projects, not the projects themselves 4) Make sure un-used projects are closed 5) Build main project manually before debugging it 6) Clear the .metadata folder - this occurs about 3x week, when FB becomes confused & unusable 7) Restart FB, restart my computer, delete my files in my Temp folder - this is more out of frustration, no difference has ever come out of these. Is there anything else can I do ... up the memory used by eclipse? Recently my FB has started crashing, a symptom of insufficient memory. I'm running a 2GHz 2GB RAM processor, my library project is 500k, while my main project is 1.8k. Recently there are a lot of fonts being embedded (660k) which brought on this record-breaking time. I have tried using the StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations to try improve on compilation time, but this brings it's own set of troubles, like my app not loading properly. So what do u do while waiting for moxie to build? Write a long-winded complaintive post about its slowness. I cant wait for the next release!!! Tracy
