I'm developing an Eclipse-based editor, which uses IResource.createMarker() for error marking, and faced with problem - if a document contains too many errors (say > 1000) my editor becomes very slow and almost unusable. After debugging (the stack is below) I've found out that the cause of the performance degradation is org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Marker.setAttributes() which causes a new short-living thread creation on each call. Thus, if there are > 1000 errors, > 1000 threads are created.

To fix the issue I would propose to use a short-living thread pool instead of a new thread creation.

Here is the stack trace:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
IResource file;
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>(6);
MarkerUtilities.setMessage(map, message);
MarkerUtilities.setCharStart(map, start);
MarkerUtilities.setCharEnd(map, end);
map.put(IMarker.LOCATION, file.getLocationURI().toString());
map.put(IMarker.SEVERITY, severity);

IMarker marker = file.createMarker(IMarker.PROBLEM)
marker.setAttributes(map);
