Re: [Subclipse-dev] Help needed - Subclipse performance problem

Hi Noel,
I was the one who changed this code to using a linked hash set (a long
time ago). From what i remember, the sole reason for keeping the set is
to keep a list of resources that need refreshing. The order is
important because of the way eclipse handles derived resources (the svn
metadata directories become visible and are not flagged as derived). A
better solution would be to try and figure out the common ancestors for
the resources and refresh them with a depth of infinite. The resources
can be refreshed in any order because they should be disjoint (the
problem occurs when children are refreshed before their parent). It
would reduce disk access in a few cases too.

I might be able to knock up a patch for this tonight for you to try out
(it may be slower for smaller number of resources though)

Cheers,
Brock
