I've also experienced lag in a different sense. When switching from one perspective to another, from one view to another, when expanding a view to full screen or back again, etc. It doesn't always do this; most of the time when I first start it up it's OK, then later on its lagging. And I have the Heap Status showing, and it's not a memory issue causing it.
This problem started with RDi V9.0. It doesn't crash; just takes time to switch to what you request.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Excessive garbage collecting
Regularly, in RDi 9.0.1 (but also in RDi 8.5) eclipse "hangs" for half a second, apparantly because of garbage collecting, which is unworkable if it happens continuously.
Previously, with 8.5, the problem appears when i edit DDS (Display) sources.
I don't have this problem when editing RPG(LE) sources.
I already tweaked the VM arguments:
-Xms256m
-Xmx1280m
-Xmnx256m
-Xscmx96m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
-Xss2m
Installed memory is 4GB.
With 9.0.1, the problem did not seem to surface anymore.
But, now i'm editing a simple DDS (PF) source, and it's impossible to edit because of the constant lag. I don't know what it's doing, but a PF DDS shouldn't be too complicated to parse (unless it constantly scans all tables in the complete library list...).
At first there was no problem, but now, after editing 3 new, simple DDS sources all of a sudden i have to restart RDi because it's unworkable.
Then, after restarting RDi, i continue editing the * comments in the PF DDS (which is only three fields), and after about 20 minutes the same behavior again.
Back to SEU again (for DDS).
