Why is the flexbuilder plugin for eclipse opening and compiling so slowly?

Question

I have a decent computer. (something with a dual core in the name and a lot of ram). Once FlexBuilder asks for the "builder project" loading bar only when I open a simple mxml file. He seems to be doing some difficult tasks ... I'm not asking for anything interesting. I just want the file to be open in text mode. Every time I press ctrl + s, I am afraid of a "building project that takes forever." I turned off auto-build, but this is not convenient.

Another thing is more understandable. I have an Ant task that compiles our code using flexBuilderSdk. This will take forever (for example, 2 minutes for a 100.as file and 20 .mxml files).

For two questions: is this normal? Can I do something? Because it kills my performance! (no seriously;-))

Answer 1

anirudhsasikumar will mark the point: fixed improvement in Flex4 SDK. http://www.deitte.com/archives/2008/10/a%5Ffaster%5Fflex%5F3.htm This is a bit faster, but I ran into some problem with firefox. (Don’t ask why!) Problem: SWF result works on IE7 but not on Firefox (unlimited wait on load)

But a real building improvement is to use FCSH to avoid compiling the same file twice. This greatly improves performance.
