Aven displays log very slowly when processing .svx file

[Duncan Collis]

The log file is displayed incredibly slowly when Aven causes a .svx file to be processed; for example in one case a file which takes 0.07s to process (according to the log) takes around 12s for the log to be displayed; the text appears slowly line-by-line.

I guess from your comment on #11 that this issue is on Ubuntu?

What version of wxWidgets is this with (see "Help->About")?

[Duncan Collis]

Yes, Ubuntu 10.04.

Linux 2.6.32-23-generic i686

wxWidgets 2.8.10 (GTK+ >= 2.6)

I don't see this myself, but I suspect the issue is with calling wxYield a lot - it happens when we're waiting for cavern to produce output, and after each line so we get the output window updated. In r3479 I've increased the time we wait for output before calling wxYield (from 0.00001s to 0.1s) and changed it to call Update() instead of wxYield() to get the window updated after each line, which I think will solve your issue.

So I hope this will be fixed in the next release, but if you want to test this sooner that would be useful - to do that download this patch:

​http://trac.survex.com/changeset/3479/trunk/src/cavernlog.cc?format=diff&new=3479

And apply to your source tree by running this from a terminal with the current directory as the top level of the unpacked Survex tree:

patch -p1 < changeset_trunk_src_cavernlog.cc_r3479.diff
make

Could you check if this is fixed by 1.1.14?

[Duncan Collis]

The problem remains in 1.1.14

[Olly Betts]

OK, hopefully r3542 addresses this. The forthcoming 1.1.15 release will include that change.

[Olly Betts]

Did 1.1.15 fix this?

[Olly Betts]

Hi, are you still seeing this issue with 1.1.15 or 1.1.16?

[Olly Betts]

Well, this works for me and there's been no feedback in 5 months, so closing. If you're still seeing this issue with a recent release, please reopen.
