Re: System suddenly slow

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.

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.
