Bug 273433

Description Thomas Haskes 2009-04-23 09:54:08 EDT

When using a table with many items displayed every request on the workbench gets slow. I used a table with 3000 simple objects. When displaying the table, every request is slow, so even selecting widgets on a different view takes long. In that case using the workbench feels really slow. When using databinding on the table (table as selectionprovider) the performance gets even worse. I attached a little project that displays a table with 3000 items in one view where the table is registered as selectionprovider to the workbench. In a second view there are some fields that are databound to the selectionprovider, showing some fields of the selected tableitem. A third view just contains a button that does nothing but put a line to the console. It shows that even widgets that are not databound to the table are affected. When displaying 3000 items a single server turnaround takes about 700 ms (on my machine). I understand that loading many objects can take a while, but i think it shouldn't affect the whole workbench at all.
I also attached a screenshot of my testProject, showing the console that displays the timings.

Greets,
