And it sometimes takes 30 seconds to redraw (during
which PCB doesn't
react). My machine has 1500MHz CPU and 0.5GB of RAM
and nothing
CPU intensive is running there besides.
Do you have also this problem? Is it possible to
optimize PCB somehow
to not grind down this way?
Sure there is such an optimization. It's called
"dropping the GTK port, and continuing the good ol'
Xaw port"
on my 400 MHz ultra sparc ii (Ultra/10), its more on the order of a
second. I'm suprised it is that slow for you, but this is not the
first report of it being much slower on a machine where it should be
fast.
Can you run top or something and check memory usage when PCB is
running slow?
What video card do you have?
I've actually noticed some similar behaviour out of an entirely
different piece of software on a linux box where it freezes sometimes
even though the machine is about 5x the speed of my sun. I haven't
managed to track that down either.
This board makes me happy that I swore off through hole parts years ago!
