CCS v5.2.1 saving files very slow

David Luca
Expert 2795 points

Hello,

We noticed that once the project becomes larger, making small change in any file is progressively slowing down. Change one character, press Save button, saving is instant, make another character change and we then get a box "The user operation is waiting for background work to complete" and in the list there's "Save" only. It takes 14 seconds if the project is stored on the hard drive and 6 seconds on SSD. Any other IDE on my system doesn't have this problem and it's happening on another computer as well. We have CCS v5.2.1.00018 running on Windows 7 Professional on a PC with 8GB RAM, Intel i5 2.4GHz, 7200RPM harddrive and Crucial SSD. Any idea why is it taking this long? 

I attached the workspace folder and project settings, maybe you can have a look.7558.Workspace.zip

Thank you in advance,

David.

    Hi David,

    In the CCSv5 tips and tricks, there is a section on workspaces (slides 4-6):

    http://downloads.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/presentations/CCSv5_Tips_&_Tricks.pdf

    Basically it says that as the contents of your workspace increase in size, it has an adverse effect on the performance of CCS. Hence smaller workspaces is idea as recommended.

    Now if you have one huge project, then there is not much you can do in terms of breaking up your workspace. One thing you can try is turning off the indexer, which is scanning all projects in the workspace. The bigger the projects in the workspace, the more work it needs to do.

    To toggle the indexer, go to 'Window->Preferences->C/C++->Indexer'

    That said, your machine is pretty powerful and I am surprised you get such a lag, no matter how large your project. How big is your project?

    Thanks
