PI crawls after BatchPreprocessing (1.8 1054)
« on: 2013 December 01 23:09:43 »
Hi,
after a pretty long BatchPreprocessing run, with master bias and dark generation, upon exit I'll usually start ImageIntegration. After clicking on it, PI seems to hang for about 10-15 seconds, and top shows the processor nearly at 100% (so only one core). After these seconds, II opens and afterwards PI never shows this behaviour again. It's like it's flushing some cache...
Am I the only one?

Thanks!

Hi Fabio,

10-15 seconds seems somewhat excessive, but not abnormal after a very long and complex batch task. Something in the range from 3 to 5 seconds would be more reasonable, and should be considered as a normal side effect of massive JavaScript garbage collection, cache and temporary buffer cleanup tasks.

Does this happen always, or do you normally see briefer wait states?

I'll do more tests and let you know, but I'm pretty sure I've never had this slowdown before.
The strange thing is when this shows up: just as I click on ImageIntegration, the system seems to freeze, not before.

I can confirm this with builds 1054 and 1065 after complex runs with bpp
