Description Greg Watson CLA 2010-09-09 19:53:54 EDT 
When processing node create events generated by the PBS proxy, the UI freezes until the view has been fully populated. I suspect this is related to the change from asyncExec to syncExec, so I suggest changing back to asyncExec until this can be more fully explored. Note this only seems to affect HEAD, so I don't think the sync changes went into 4.0.

Bug 301299 included changes to code where Display.asyncExec() calls were replaced with calls to Display.syncExec(). The rationale was that this would limit the rate at which events from the proxy were handled and prevent the client from consuming all available memory for proxy event notifications. This fix restores the Display.asyncExec() calls.

Need to pay attention to memory consumption when large numbers of events are stored in memory since that may cause other problems.
