Re: System suddenly slow

Our most common cause of performance problems is fragmentation.  Have
you tried running the defrag utility?

Joep,

Thanks for the response.  I don't think that's our problem.  She's

running

the same configuration I am, but with more free disk space -- around

3.5 -

4 GB free whereas I've got about 2.5GB free.  She is running WinXP SP2

and

I'm on Win2K.  However, she's been running it without trouble for the

last

several months.  It's just in the last week she's noticed it.  No
configuration changes have been made except the update log on her

system

indicates that a couple of MS updates were installed -- maybe

something

related to one or both of these is the cause.  I've uninstalled WDSC
cleaned up the detritus and reinstalled.  It's still *very* slow.

I'll be

getting with our PC administrator later and to discuss our options.

Michael,

One thing that distinguishes WDSC from most other PC applications is
that it accesses large numbers of small files. Anything that

slightly

degrades disk access will go unnoticed by most applications but will
have a noticeable effect on WDSC. One thing we did is make sure the
virus checker does not monitor any disk access in the workspace.

in

WDSC is incredibly slow.  She says all her other PC applications

run

fine,

but everything related to Eclipse runs *VERY* slowly.

I've tried doing an initialize on her workspace.
"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\rationalsdp.exe"

-initialize

-data

"C:\Documents and Settings\<user-id>\My

Documents\IBM\wdsc\workspace"

and doing a clean start

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\rationalsdp.exe" -clean

I even tried deleting the files in the configuration folder -- all

to

no

avail.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions.  If we can't find

anything,

I'll try deleting and re-installing, but that's not an attractive

thought.
