IDE eating up all CPU cycles!

[rdindir]

Hi All,

The IDE for PellesC versions 6.00 to 4.50 (inclusive) seem to eat up all the
CPU cycles. This happens whenever the editor window is displayed (the
blue window that shows). If a dialog is opened, the IDE releases the CPU.
In addition, I also observed this. When you open a sample project, and no editing
window is showing, it is ok. The IDE does not use 100% of the CPU. But if you
open a source file the IDE uses all of the CPU cycles.

This problem is not seen with PellesC version 4.00.

Kind Regards,
rdindir

As you are the only one to mention it I guess it must be something peculiar to your computer.

I forgot to mention. I am using WinXP SP2. Has anyone had such a problem running on
winxp (AMD CPU with 1GB mem)?

Nope, not on any of my PCs, which are P4 sinlge/dual core with 768MB-2GB, running XP SP2/SP3...

Update to the problem, regarding CPU hogging...

The reason for the CPU hogging is the VNC server that I am using. I was using RealVNC,
switched to TightVNC, but this did not change antything.

I am using other IDE's (like SharpDevelop, Visual Studio 2005), and they do not have the
mentioned problem at all.

Can this be related to the editing component used in the PellesC IDE? Because the problem
happens whenever a file is opened for editing.

Kind Regards
