Jaspersoft Studio 6.1 Very Slow Poor Performance

[beekerc69]

I'm running Jaspersoft Studio 6.1.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Installed a month ago, it ran fast and rendered previews quickly

now it can take 10 to 20 seconds between clicking an object and the object box getting highlighted.  clicking or tabbing between property boxes is equally slow and painful.

in addition, sometimes when i click on an object it doesn't "highlight" with the corner and edge handles, but the object outline glows orange/yellow, but it is not selected. . THis happens a lot.

I am running the current version of Tomcat 8 and Java 8

How can i troubleshoot performance?

Your question is confusing because Jaspersoft Studio doesn't use Tomcat and you're using Windows Server. I'm currently using Jaspersoft Studio 6.2.0 without seeing performance degradation from the previous versions (5.6.0, 5.6.1, 6.0, 6.1, 6.1.1). I can only say that the newer version became more stabler and have better features.

Do you mean JasperReports Server and not Jaspersoft Studio?

You are correct, Tomcat is for JasperReports Server.

I have both installed on my laptop (running Server 2008).

I am talking specifically about Jaspersoft Studio 6.1 (which requires Java only).

How much memory have you allocated to Studio? The default settings in Jaspersoft Studio Professional.ini tend to be rather low. I am using the below settings which improved things for me:

-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:PermSize=128M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
