PharoLauncher eventual slowdown
Locked
 
|
Hi, I've been using Pharo Launcher for quite a while and problem that I am constantly encountering is that launching of it becomes slower and slower. Up until now I've solved it by writing a bash script that downloads the launcher fresh and reconfigures it. And then I've executed the script about once a week. But I am little bit fed-up by it… is this a common behavior? Or is it constrained to my machine? For example, if I execute the following (so I can time it) time /opt/pharo-vm/cog/pharo --nodisplay --textenc UTF-8 /opt/pharo-launcher/PharoLauncher.image eval '1+1' (also I have right now about ~27 images in the Launcher) fresh download (yesterday): ~0.49s today: 0.91s (almost double) and in a week it will be be maybe 10 seconds. I can just setup cronjob that resets pharo launcher every day, but a systemic solution would be better. Thanks, Peter |

Stéphane, in CC, reported the same months ago on OS X. I don't know if Stéphane still experiences the problem.

Yeah I saw that when he was in Prague (incidentally that's where my launcher slowdown started :)). I've removed write access and will report back in couple of days. :) Thanks, Peter On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 11:24 AM, Damien Cassou <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Peter, |

Hi Peter, I see you had this problem 12 months ago.
http://lists.pharo.org/pipermail/pharo-users_lists.pharo.org/2015-February/017026.html What you can try is in development mode, closing the PharoLauncher window, nil out class variables and garbage collect, then check what instances remain of PharoLauncher classes. cheers -ben On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 6:42 PM, Peter Uhnák <[hidden email]> wrote: > Yeah I saw that when he was in Prague (incidentally that's where my launcher > slowdown started :)). > > I've removed write access and will report back in couple of days. :) > > Thanks, > Peter > > On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 11:24 AM, Damien Cassou <[hidden email]> > wrote: >> >> Hi Peter, >> >> Peter Uhnák <[hidden email]> writes: >> > I've been using Pharo Launcher for quite a while and problem that I am >> > constantly encountering is that launching of it becomes slower and >> > slower. >> >> Stéphane, in CC, reported the same months ago on OS X.

But I don't use it for anything else then launching the images. Do you notice the slow down by launching images or do you use the PharoLauncher image for anything else?

I think it was more when I was helping with PharoLauncher development and would close down/open it a lot. Since I've been mostly only using it I haven't noticed the problem. Or the root of that particular issue was fixed. cheers -ben > >> >> >> On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 6:42 PM, Peter Uhnák <[hidden email]> wrote: >> > Yeah I saw that when he was in Prague (incidentally that's where my >> > launcher >> > slowdown started :)). >> > >> > I've removed write access and will report back in couple of days. :) >> > >> > Thanks, >> > Peter >> > >> > On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 11:24 AM, Damien Cassou <[hidden email]> >> > wrote: >> >> >> >> Hi Peter, >> >> >> >> Peter Uhnák <[hidden email]> writes: >> >> > I've been using Pharo Launcher for quite a while and problem that I >> >> > am >> >> > constantly encountering is that launching of it becomes slower and >> >> > slower. >> >> >> >> Stéphane, in CC, reported the same months ago on OS X.

I'm a bug attractor. I can crash yosemite in 0.5 s: drag and drop two files on the desktop and bam you get the loggin screen :)

I use it just for images management (downloading, removing, renaming, recreating), I don't run actual programs from there. But `chmod a-w PharoLauncher.*` seems to work well for now.
