RE: [WDSCI-L] RE: Some obvious questions on WDSci ?

[Kelly Cookson <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 512MB machine (can't upgrade because Dell doesn't make the chips
anymore), but many of my colleagues have at least 1G, and they still
complain about WDSCi being slow.  

Some of this comes from comparing the speed of WDSCi to the speed of ADTS
tools. ADTS is quicker form many tasks--even if you are running on a 1G
machine. 

It seems to me IBM ought to sit down with people using WDSCi, find out when
they tend to use ADTS tools (which my guess is often for speed-related
reasons), and then either: (a) focus a whopping big part of their energy on
increasing speed for those tasks in WDSCi, or (b) create plug-ins or
alternative tools accessible from WDSCi (analogous to CODE or CODE DESIGNER)
that can do those jobs about the speed of ADTS.

My 2 cents.

5. Why is my WDSci so SLOOOOOOWWW?
This just HAS to be a general question but I HAVE to ask: Loading a list
of all objects in my development library takes ages (minutes actuatly).
Is there a way to have these lists loaded with a little more
intelligence? I'am only able to see a part of the list why not load that
instead of all my 10.000+ objects? (Tried filters but for some reason
these filters always seem to hold the data that I DONT need.

The Slow part is usually a function of how much memory you have.  I
understand that you need a MINIMUM of 512MB, and most people I have spoken
to say that 'more is better' all the way up to 1GB.  I am sitting at 256 (at
work anyways), and I hear ya.  Every time it is slow, I look, and my HD
light on my PC is on solid.  I must say that it seems to have gotten better
since my upgrade to 5.1.2, but still slow.
