10.3 Consumes 45% of my CPU

[John Kouraklis 94]

Is anyone getting something like that? I have disabled ErrorInsight and still get this behavious. Also, I have installed RFUnit but the experimental features are off

Report to Embarcadero Issuer tracker, and put link into here. So we can Vote on it.

Are you using the new Skins/Themes in the IDE?

It's better when you disable it?

I don't have such an issue here with default settings and complex Vcl projects loaded.

[John Kouraklis 94]

@pyscripter Have you got any additional components installed apart from those that come with the IDE?

[pyscripter 689]

@John KouraklisToo many to mention.

[John Kouraklis 94]

It's amazing...I reinstalled Rio 3-4 times, cleaned registries, Windows and all that and when I open a project I press a key in the code and the CPU jumps to 60-70. After 2 mins, the IDE becomes responsive. It's impossible to work in that

[David Hoyle 68]

I assume there are no third party packages installed at this time?

If you inspect the call stack of the IDE at these times with Process Explorer, what does it indicate is the source of the issue?

I've been using Rio for a week now and slowly adding third party (and my own) IDE plug-ins and third party components and have not experienced these issues.

[John Kouraklis 94]

@David Hoyle You mean this app, right? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

 

Is the call stack what appears in the bottom panel when I select the process?

[David Hoyle 68]

Yes, that's the right application but you need to select BDS, right click and select Properties and then go to the threads tab, find the thread burning the CPU and double click for the call stack...

 

[John Kouraklis 94]

Ok, this is what the stack shows when I type in a character in code panel:

 

In this phase, the IDE is not responding...

 

Doesn't look very helpful, does it?

[David Hoyle 68]

Installing windows debugging tools (part of the windows SDK) and setting the symbol server (D:\Symbols\ is the location to download the symbols, everything else could / should stay the same) may help...

You'll then get better resolution in the call stack.

[Jacek Laskowski 57]

I install WinDbg, but where is "Configure Symbols" window?

[Guest]

ProcessExplorer (Menu) -> Options -> Configure Symbols ...

[John Kouraklis 94]

i will try to load the symbols but I am annoyed...don't get why I need to debug the IDE...

[David Hoyle 68]

I understand your frustration but without knowing your configuration its a little difficult.

What third party components / plug-ins do you have installed?

Does this happen with a specific form / unit in your project or does it happen with a sample application that comes with Delphi?

If you have plug-ins, does disabling them sort the problem?

Because, in its infinite wisdom, IDE decided you need to brush up your debugging skills 😎

Haha...so it is a skill development exercise; and I thought it was anger management drill

Did you solve it John?

 

Looks similar to this:

 

[John Kouraklis 94]

I hadn't touched 10.3 since my last post. 

 

I opened the IDE today and after a long period of non-responsiveness, the IDE started working correctly.

 

I used it for 1 hour and then restarted the IDE and I am again where I was before. So, no I haven't managed to solve it.

 

I, also, installed the Debug Tools for windows and configured the settings in Processor Explorer as @David Hoyle shows but the symbols do not resolve to function names. I've also checked the guides from Microsoft but I can't make it work either.....

 

But the symbols are being cached on my hard drive

 

Seems that 10.3 scared every app on my system

I am quite confident that Stephanes problem is caused by installing Tokyo after Rio messing up some parts of the registry.

I'm also pretty sure this caused the problem.

Are you maybe aware of an powershell or batch script that will helps me to register all these .net DLL correctly ?

[Stéphane Wierzbicki 45]

Too bad but a fresh re-install of my OS + Delphi didn't solve this issue.

[John Kouraklis 94]

@Stéphane Wierzbicki Clean installation of 10.3 didn't solve my problem either 

 

Sad as I was looking forward to use the inline vars

[David Hoyle 68]

@John KouraklisWhen you cleaned the machine of the existing installation of RAD Studio, did you manually clean the registry of the erroneous entries (I assume that you didn't re-install the OS)?
