MessageTally time: [HelpBrowser open] between 2 seconds in Cog and with a regular VM between 6 and 8.... is there an easy way to improve it ?
Alexandre, do you want another place where to put a cache like Metacello's currentVersion? ;)
:-) Sure. Easy. SystemHelp>>allSystemHelpPragmas takes time. When you open a browser, the method HelpBrowser>>open is called once and SystemHelp>>allSystemHelpPragmas twice. Easy to suspect that a cache is missing. So, if you define -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HelpBrowser>>helpTopic ^ helpTopicCache ifNil: [ helpTopicCache := rootTopic asHelpTopic ] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= and adapt HelpBrowser>>refresh you win 50% of execution time. Here is it: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=4126 Before this fix, I have: [HelpBrowser open] timeToRun => 6099 After the fix I have: [HelpBrowser open] timeToRun => 3094 Naturally, tests are kept green.
