Unsual file/network activity when running MikroC for dsPIC

[PodeCoet]

Hello,

I'm having a very strange issue with MikroC for dsPIC - at both work and home, all my projects are stored on a fileserver (windows share). My computers are attached to the fileserver via Gigabit ethernet

My machine has become very slow when running MikroC on occasion, and I noticed today that network activity goes through the roof only when the MicroC window has focus - I ran Process Monitor and found that when the MikroC window has focus, it is doing a read of the files I'm working on every six milliseconds!

Any ideas as to why this is happening? It causes the editor and network to become very slow. I have attached a screenshot of process monitor to this post

Great, but if you had copy/pasted your response here, then I wouldn't have had to raise the same question as a support ticket.


The problem gets much worse if you open C-PIC16 and C-PIC32 at the same time.
With a single IDE open I see about 250Kbps network traffic generated by the package constantly.
This is far more than is needed to check timestamps on files....

Hi,

The problem occurs because compiler constantly try to follow the changes on the source files related with the project.
Network activity increasing even more when several different users try to access to the same project.

Our software developers are familiar with this behavior and they will certainly try to implement some modification to compiler
to reduce it.

Thank you for understanding.
