If you use Sidekick and the XML parser, then when a large XML file is edited, jEdit
becomes very slow, even freezing, unless you turn off parsing in Sidekick first. For
example, download and open the XML file at http://www.tellurianring.com/images/movies_list_data_1m.xml
and hit Ctrl+End. On my system, jEdit will peg out at 50% CPU and remain frozen for
a couple of minutes.
The problem goes away if in the Plugins options dlg, SideKick sxn, I turn off all
three "Auto parsing Settings": "Parse on buffer switch", "Parse on buffer save", and
"Parse on keystroke."
Be sure your folding mode set to "Sidekick" to reproduce this error.

progress has been made in r19545 and r19597. Now, SidekickTagHighlight is active by default : it uses Sidekick to locate the matching tag for matching tag highlight. Doing so reduces parsing a lot and loading movies_list_data_1m.xml and hitting Ctrl+End won't block for so long. It still takes a long time to parse these big files into a Sidekick tree and to create the corresponding UI (thousands of tree nodes). Another thing that speeds things up is to use the buffer's content directly (buffer.getSegment()) instead of making a copy (buffer.getText()). This is visible when moving the caret around near the end of movies_list_data_1m.xml to trigger matching tag highlight. |
