Java Development

Hi everyone.

There is a problem. It is not critical but makes me nervous.

I am using BB JDE 4.6.0. But when I build project (F5) simulator launches very slowly (approx. 2 min).

My OS: Windows Vista Home Basic, hard: AMD Athlon QL-60 (X2 Dual-Core 1.9 Gz), 2 Gb RAM.

Is it normal simulator speed? Could I make it launch faster? How could I do it?

Tanks

maybe you can launch it from a ramdisk. or a ssd.
from time to time the clean.bat can help remove remains of old apps.
other than this: you have to cope with it.

If your running the simulator on the laptop, check that your power management doesn't lower the performance (e.g., select the High Performance power plan). You can also delete some of the useless apps from the simulator, especially the file indexer, which on some simulators slows down one of the startup tiers by 30 seconds or so.

Also, have a look at this useful blog from RIM: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Developer-s-Blog/How-to-Set-up-a-Lightning-Fast-Bl...

Regarding the startup tiers, here's what I do. Look for the "Startup Time" message in the Debug Output window. It tells you how much time the simulator spent simulating the startup phase. It then goes on break down the startup time by startup tiers (tiers are started sequentially from lowest to highest). So, if you find that some tier is taking too long, you can then scroll up (e.g., find "Starting tier 3") and find what processes are started in which tier and (if you're lucky) why they are slow (e.g., waiting on network I/O, file I/O).
