Delphi-32 environment becomes very slow

Question

I am running Delphi 5 on a 32-bit PC that recently installed Windows 10. The Delphi environment has become extremely slow.

Running in debug mode using the task manager shows that it consumes about 35% of the processor when starting an already compiled program and takes a minute or more to load the main screen, where it took about 5-10 seconds maximum,

Running the executable file outside the environment is as fast as always. Has anyone else come across this?

Answer 1

This is a known issue affecting all versions of Delphi running when updating Windows 10 Creators.

A non-functional debugger after upgrading to Windows 10 Creators https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-17972

The debugger works for everyone in our organization with the help of the Creators and Tokyo / Berlin. A return to the Windows Anniversary brings regain common sense.

Debugger problems with Tokyo / Berlin and the creators:

The application takes a long time to load modules during loading and unloading, rebooting many times

IDE freezes

Bds.exe memory consumption explodes, sometimes (> 3 GB)

I will attach before and after screenshots showing the loading of modules and unload and restart Windows 10 Creators.

I assume that these problems have the same root cause (s) than in https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=884382

The problem is caused by the newly created optimization in loading dll (bpl) Windows. This does not affect standalone exe applications.

Embarcadero is working with Microsoft to fix this in a future update and / or Windows patch.
