[fedora-java] Very slow Eclipse on F10

I had exactly the same problem here and managed to reduce it (using strace) to timeouts communicating with another host on our network - which turned out to be configured as the eclipse host's print server in /etc/cups/client.conf.

After upgrading the printing configuration "as it should be" - using localhost in /etc/cups/client.conf and setting up browsing in the local cups configuration to automagically attach the printers exported by the network cups server - opening new editors in eclipse became instantaneous.

Background:

- run:
strace -f -tt -o /tmp/eclipse eclipse

- reproduce the delay

- run:
cat /tmp/eclipse | grep AF_INET

This will show all network communication performed by eclipse. You'll be looking for 'connect' calls returning EINPROGRESS / EALREADY followed by a delay (cf. time stamps in the second column).

HTH.


In Response To: 

Before I file this in bugzilla, I wanted to check if it's just my
problem ... Lately, in Eclipse (3.4.1 on Fedora 10), I've been
noticing that it takes several seconds to open a new editor. So if I
click on a Java source file (in Java perspective), the new tab appears
immediately, but it takes several seconds for the actual editor to
finish rendering. In the meantime, the tab just says "Java editor".
Similar things happen with the Ant buildfile editor.

I have several third-party plugins installed that I don't want to
remove unless I have to, which is why I wanted to check first -- is
anyone else seeing similar symptoms?

Thanks,

MEF
