Calypso loading code spinner
It is happening to me very often that to access the source of a method, or sometimes to find senders/implementors, the Calypso browser takes a long time to load it. By long I mean from two to five seconds, sometimes longer. I'm running Pharo 7 within a VirtualBox VM with Ubuntu 16.04 in a Windows 10 host.

Answering myself... It seems to be related with the power management because as soon as I plugged in my laptop the spinning effect went away (and also the whole environment got faster). Maybe it has to do with the guest OS power management, although I didn't see any noticeable slowdown in other apps within the VM. Is there any specific PM thing in the Pharo VM? Or should I look at the VBOX/Ubuntu settings. Regards. Esteban A. Maringolo On Fri, Dec 6, 2019 at 7:02 PM Esteban Maringolo <emaringolo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Esteban, This sounds like your host OS is powering down your laptop's HDD while on battery, to save energy. Plugging it in triggers a different rule that selects "performance" over "energy savings" and keeps the drive up & spinning constantly. I would check the Win10 power management rules to verify this. You can also select a different power profile when on battery there, or create a new one (such as "power savings except for the hard drive" when on battery). -Ted -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
