iReport 1.3.2 too slow

[slaisne]

Hi all,

 

iReport 1.3.2 is too slow than 1.3.1.

I disable the magnet option, but same problem.

 

Plateform: MacOsX

JDK 1.5.0

[slaisne]

same behavior on Windows XP + JDK 1.5.

When I'm writing text in image expression text area, characters are display slowly

What's your JRE version?

hi,

 

i think, it´s the "new" feature

 

* New error handler to easily find and prevent report errors

 

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=498385&group_id=64348

 

 

maybe there´s a switch to turn off this feature??

Try to download Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 11, and see what happen B)

I ended up with the same experience slaisne is having. The new colors and handles in iReport 1.3.2 are pretty and nifty, but I'm getting 4-5 second wait times when I do anything, even something as small as moving a textbox from one location to another. My workstation is slow and old to start with, but I'm seeing a large speed difference between 1.3.2 and 1.3.1. iReport 1.3.1 is not blazingly quick on my workstation, but it moves at an acceptable pace.

 

 

I'm not complaining here -I appreciate the work that's gone into iReport in all of its incarnations. I'm just corroborating slaisne's findings with my own. I'll continue to use 1.3.1 until I can get my workstation upgraded (unlikely) or there's reason to believe 1.3.2 works a lot faster for me than it is now.

 

 

In case it matters, I'm running Windows XP SP2 with JDK 1.6.0 and JRE 1.6.0.

I'm trying to install jre 1.5.0-11 and test again.

This version of iReport is slow not for the graphics, but because the report is verified in background if modified in the last 5 seconds.

 

I'll add an option to disable this feature that can be very heavy on old systems.

Hi,

 

first of all as this is my first post here: Great work. I appreciate this very much.

As I also recognized the preformance drawbacks in 1.3.2 I checked out your latest changes in the repository and built a new version. If I disable the real time validation feature now the performance is a bit better but far from 1.3.1. And also the report elements (e.g. fields) are no longer marked with the red border if they are moved out of the band.

 

Furthermore I saw that your update to groovy is not in 1.3.2. There still is "groovy-all-1.0-beta-10.jar" in the downloadable src-zip. Why is that?

 

Regards,

Marc

I submitted a bug:

 

Slow Element Selection:

Would this be the cause of my issue as well? I don't think however that by clicking on an element that it should reverify the code? Or maybe the verification takes a few seconds so it almost never finishes by the time the next 5 seconds has passed since the first verification, so it is always verifying, causing slow selection?

I missed to ship the new groovy jar. The problem is fixed in the repository (where you can find the new groovy jar).

 

about the new performace, I'll do some extra profiling.

 

Thanks a lot!
