ESTK slowness

Post by undavide »

Hello,
when ESTK (CS5 - Mac) has to deal with really long files (a jsx that contains an xtool library instead of an include directive - that's my case, some 13K lines) it's very slow. Well, I can understand that: I use to rename the extension to .js and open it with Dashcode, which is a rocket in comparison. I'm just curious to know if it's the same with you, or maybe I have some corrupted preference somewhere that slows down ESTK.
TIA,

Davide

ESTK slowness

ESTK CS5 has problems with large scripts whether or not they are in one file or separate files.
I have some scripts that I can't run from within ESTK at all. I have to start them from PS and hope that a '$.level = 1; debugger;' line works as a breakpoint.

The size of include files like xtools/xlib/stdlib.js does cause UI responsiveness problems so severe that I have to consciously avoid stepping into included files because of the lag.

If there are any preferences or settings that could cause or fix these problems, I haven't come across them. The only thing that may help is to flatten out your script (if you are using include files) before debugging.
