Recently I installed the vim extension in the visual study code, everything was going very well at first but after a couple of days the extension started working very slowly, I don't understand why this happens, I was reading and performance problems can occur because of the excessive amount of extensions in addition to having a bad computer, in my case neither of the two options apply, because I don't have more than 7 extensions and my pc is not so bad (processor and ram):
PROCESSOR: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx (8) # 2.100GHz
RAM: 12G RAM DDR4 2600 Mhz
I don't know if there is a solution to this problem as some configuration for both the extension and the editor, otherwise I don't know if it can be that the extension is badly optimized.
I use the editor in windows 10 and arch linux, but in both operating systems I have the same problem

I didn't want to ask this question here. I asked it on superuser but didn't get an answer.
https://superuser.com/questions/1420073/why-did-formatting-win-7-computers-to-windows-10-double-their-cpu-z-bench-score
So I work at a company as an IT guy while I am doing my computer engineering degree. Doing hardware and software maintenance of computers is part of my job. I have had a weird experience with two of the computers. These two computers(one desktop one laptop) were the slowest computers in the company. The laptop is Dell Inspiron N5010 with i3 370M(2 cores, 4 threads) processor. The desktop is HP 500B MT with E5800(2 cores 2 threads) processor.
At first, both of these computers had windows 7 running on them. CPU-Z(1.87.0) benchmark of the desktop was 113(single thread), 227(multithread). The laptop was 82, 267.
After I formatted these computers with windows 10 and ran the same CPU-Z version benchmark, I got exactly double performance with both computers. Both single threading and multithreading scores got doubled.
After formatting with windows 10, desktop got 270, 510. Laptop got 180, 520.
What is causing this? Physical core number stayed the same. Logical core number stayed the same. I am baffled.
Is it possible that you upgraded from 32 bit Windows 7 to 64 bit Windows 10?
According to this FAQ under the point What algorithm does the benchmark use... they state that
the 32-bit version keeps using the legacy x87 instructions, resulting
in almost half of the x64 performance
edit: please remove question here because it is not about code. I answered on superuser as well
If the difference in speed is noticeable, it might have been an issue with the drivers on WIndows 7, or it might have had something to do with huge pages (enabling huge pages could boost the CPU performance significantly).
If you can't notice the difference in speed/responsiveness, it might just be a bug in CPU-Z (Have you tried the newest version 1.88?).
Going from Windows7 to Windows10 should not on its own result in such drastic changes in performance, the CPU benchmarks should be pretty close. Windows versions are also important, I've seen tests between Win10 1803 and Win10 1809 which show approx 10% increase in FPS in favor of 1809 (but that's GPUs not CPUs).
Curious if anyone out there is doing Android Studio development on a dual Xeon machine.
I would like to know if the additional CPU gave a dramatic or visible (50% or more) boost in build performance.
You probably found out, but for others wondering: Chances are - it won't.
Did some testing with two relatively quick E2650 v4 Xeons on a largish Java + Kotlin project and Xeons were considerably slower than low core count / higher clock CPU's.
Check out the benchmarks here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1115206/will-dual-xeons-improve-android-studio-build-times/
I have tried to measure speed of Android Studio 3.1.4 on the same hardware: Macbook Pro 2011, RAM 4Gb, SSD 240GB Samsung, Core i5 2.4Ghz.
I have installed on this machine 3 different OS: Windows 10, MacOS Hight Sierra 10.13, Ubuntu 18.04.
Avarage build time (running command: gradlew clean build, gradlew clean assembleRelease) on MacOS/Ubuntu was around 30% faster than on Windows.
On my another working machine: Core i5 3.0 Ghz 7400, RAM 16Gb, SSD 250Gb. Build time takes 4.34min on Windows 10 machine.
The same project on a little bit slower processor, but with the same RAM and SSD and it is running Ubuntu 16.04 build time takes two times faster!!
Well I was shocked with results, but still I choose Windows as development machine, because it's much more comfortable for me to use comfortable and
usable keyboard and sotfware than on Unix like systems. And even if I had to choose between MacOS and Ubuntu - mac is really much easier to setup everything, and
Ubuntu is too complex to use for usual people. Choise is up to you.
Well, there is a strange problem occured in my working project. It is written on Delphi. When I try to compile it, it takes 8 hours to compile about 770 000 lines (and it is not the end), while my colleague needs only 15-20 seconds.
I've tried everything suggested in Why does Delphi's compilation speed degrade the longer it's open, and what can I do about it?
Shorten the path to project
Defragment disc with MyDefrag
Use Clear Unit Cache (do not sure, if it worked at all)
I also turned off the optimization and I use debug mode. My PC is pretty fast (i5-2310 3.1 GHz, 16 Gb RAM, usual SATA HDDs), the bottle neck could be the HDD, but my collegue has usual one too. So, it is very mysterious, what is the reason of so slow compilation.
Edit: I apologize for lack of information. Here is additional info:
I use debug mode, release one works same.
We use Delphi XE version.
I've copied my collegue's folder with project initially.
I do not use network drive, and I tried to move project to another HDD.
Additional info about system: I use Windows 7 Enterprise N 64 bit, while my collegue uses Windows 7 32 bit, Also, Delphi XE is 32-bit (dunno, if it can be 64-bit). May be it is the reason in some way?
Edit 2: I found solution! The problem was that I installed Delphi on my Windows 64 bit system. Installing it on virtual Windows 7 x86 made it work: compiling in seconds. Dunno, why is there so big gap in perfomance.
Are you sure this is not some hardware problem, e.g. your hard disk having a bad sector? Try to put the source code on a different disk and see if the problem goes away. Or maybe the search path points to a network drive that is very slow or not even available?
The OSX 10.6.6 is installed inside VMware on Windows 7 host. The overall performance is great, However, the compiling time increased dramatically (1 hour against 2-3 min on pure MacOS). It's modern machine with Core i5 & 4GB RAM.
Here are the XBench results:
http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=517768&doc2=1&setCookie=true
I think the problem could be in extremely slow 4k write value, but I don't know how to improve this.
Is there any way to increase performance?
UPD1: swap is not used, there is enough memory for all operations
the disk speed is also not related, since my another Macbook shows event worse results, and compiles hundreds times faster.
UPD2: problem solved, see my answer below
Sharing experience and solution.
My Xcode was running fine but when I build a project (even an empty one), it would take up to 10 minutes.
SOLUTION:
Go to Xcode -> Preference -> Source Control: Dissable Source Control
Now projects build and run in a matter of seconds.
In VMWare, you should have a setting where you can dedicate one or two cores entirely to the virtual machine. Assuming you have quad core, maybe give MacOSX 2 or 3 cores? If you have dual-core and you've allocated 1 core to the VM (and the problem still persists), i can't say much then!
It's good that your problem is solved, but I want to share my experience for improving vmware performance. Please do install VMware tools for mac os and they are present in .iso file.
Steps to install VMware tools for MAC OS:
1) Power on your VM.
2) At the right bottom they are some pop-up symbols(These are usually not present in full screen mode). Rightclick the CD/DVD symbol.
3) Click setting. In this window make sure that darwin.iso is selected.
4) Close this window and again right click CD/DVD symbol.
5) Click connect. An icon will appear with name darwin(300).
6) Inside this file tools are present. Install them!
The problem was: VERY SLOW recursive searching of include paths. If non-recursive, everything works smooth.
I also got the same problem, But i want share my personal experience here.
My CPUs RAM capacity is 4 GB, So i allocated 3.5 GB to the VMWare
because of this it was very slow the entire operating system.
So one day i clearly observed the VMWare settings, finally found the
solution. If we allocate the RAM memory more than recommended then
also your operating system hangs. For my System the recommended RAM
memory is 2048MB, after adjusting this now OS is fast.
We can adjust the RAM memory in Devices option, inside Hardware. For
clarification here i am attaching the screen shot.
I had the same problem and I fixed it as follow:
Most boost I got with changing my vmware config file to disable memory
stored in .vmem file. In my .vmx file I added :
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
Setting max cores to the guest

I am developing an OpenGL application and I am seeing some strange things happen. The machine I am testing with is equipped with an NVidia Quadro FX 4600 and it is running RHEL WS 4.3 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp).
I've stepped through the application with a debugger and I've noticed that it is hanging on OpenGL calls that are receiving information from the OpenGL API: i.e. - glGetError, glIsEnabled, etc. Each time it hangs up, the system is unresponsive for 3-4 seconds.
Another thing that is interesting is that if this same code is run on RHEL 4.5 (Kernel 2.6.9-67.ELsmp), it runs completely fine. The same code also runs perfectly on Windows XP. All machines are using the exact same hardware:
PNY nVidia Quadro FX4600 768mb PCI Express
Dual Intel Xeon DP Quad Core E5345 2.33hz
4096 MB 667 MHz Fully Buffered DDR2
Super Micro X7DAL-E Intel 5000X Chipset Dual Xeon Motherboard
Enermax Liberty 620 watt Power Supply
I have upgraded to the latest 64bit drivers: Version 177.82, Release Date: Nov 12, 2008 and the result is the exact same.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the system to hang on these OpenGL calls?
It appears that this is an issue with less-than-perfect NVidia drivers for Linux. Upgrading to a newer kernel appears to help. If I am forced to use this dated kernel, there are some things that I've tried that seem to help.
Defining the __GL_YIELD environment variable to "NOTHING" prior to starting X seems to increase stability with this older kernel.
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/177.82/README/chapter-11.html
I've also tried disabling Triple Buffering and Flipping.
I've also found that these forums are very helpful for Linux/NVidia problems. Just do a search for "linux crash"
You may be able to dig deeper by using a system profiler like Sysprof or OProfile. Do other OpenGL applications using these calls exhibit similar behavior?
