Hourglass Every Few Seconds

Post by ielliott »

I'm using Rapid PHP and every few seconds (sometimes 3, sometimes 10) the mouse turns to an hourglass for 1-2 seconds.

I've verified in the Windows Processes list that during this time, Rapid jumps from about 2% of usage to 15-20%.

I'm running a Pentium D with 2GB of RAM, so I don't think the computer would be an issue.

Maybe something is happening in the background that I could turn off in preferences?

Thanks,
Elliott

If you are using split-screen mode then it could be the browser refresh needed for displaying the preview. You can set much bigger intervals in Preferences so that it does not refresh so often.

Hi Karlis - I noticed that setting in the Preferences, but I'm not using split-screen when it happens. It's also not in exactly the same intervals. It ranges anywhere from a few seconds to 10 seconds it seems - and sometimes it won't do it for 60 seconds - although that's rare it takes that long to repeat.

Any other ideas? I'll keep an eye out for any other settings, but I just can't seem to figure it out...

Thanks,
Elliott

I dunno if this is related but I had something similar happen when I had installed ColdFusion. After a while, I'd disabled some services I thought I didn't need but I was wrong (jrun.exe). It turned out that apache was looking for this service everytime it processed a file and since it couldn't find it, it choked for a few seconds while it looked. Never gave any sort of error.

assuming you're using apache, see if it happens when you disable apache completely(which should also disable php). I'm not exactly sure what that will tell you but it might help narrow down the problem. Possibly related, does it only happen when you're editing PHP files or does the same happen with HTML/CSS?

AND, I wish I had your machine. :)
