Hi

When i load a jface application, that can take a while. About 10-30 sec.
I wonder if that can be optimized?
If not allready done, perhaps disabling the GC for the duration of this loading?

Indeed.  Both the initial load before the prompt is active and the subsequent startup time after typing 'r' (processing DLLs) are both a little long.

yes, there should be several opportunities to optimize it.
ddbg builds an AVL tree for the code-address to source-file/line mapping, s.t. stepping through the code is faster. i guess there's a lot of unnecessary heap action while building the tree.
i've setup a ticket here:
