Hi all
i have 2 b4j projects that i develop on 2 separate devices one 16gb ram laptop and one 8gb ram desktop.
both windows 7 , both core i7. both loaded with comparable softwares.
the app runs very well on both systems. but
the problem is :
when i run on the (supposedly faster) laptop , the IDE typing responsiveness is too slow , there is a noticeable lag ....
is there a setting that i can change to fix this lag ?

strange that an I7 would be too slow but...

you can tweak the values in the ini file

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\B4J\b4xV5.ini

BackgroundGuiThreadInterval2=5000
backgroundIndexerThreadInterval=5000
DisableImplicitAutoComplete=False

with 5000 stuff is less lagging than with the original 500 or 1000 value, syntax coloring is slightly delayed tho.

turning off the autocomplete solves it aswell but then you lose a lot of functionality.

I've just recently upgraded my system to an i7 and have noticed that the B4a IDE is now lagging and slow in responsiveness as well. I'll try updating the settings mentioned by @sorex and see if that makes a difference.
