TeaTimer kills performance by factor of 10?

[dipr12]

Task: ORACLE Forms 6i "start module in debug mode"

Without teatimer running the module pops up less than 2 Seconds after
the click, with TeaTimer.exe started it takes about 22 Seconds untill the
module runs.


ProcExp (Sysinternals Process Explorer) shows 100% CPU usage
during those 22 Seconds with app. 50% "System time".

Questions:
- how to fix that slowdown, besides terminating TeaTimer, that is?
- can i whitelist processes so TeaTimer ignores what they do?

TIA

Are you sure it is TeaTimer, even on my very old computer (750mhz) TeaTimer only slowed my IE loading by a couple of seconds.

Hello,

Which version of TeaTimer are you using?
Did you already tried the 1.5 beta?

100% positive.
as soon as i kill proces TeaTimer.exe ORACLE Forms runs as fast as ever.

however, that slow down is only noticable with ORACLE Forms, other apps'
response times fell to be unaffected.

Hello,

Just now I found the (well hidden ) download link for the new 1.5
version (the link in one of the forums posts), downloaded and installed it.
TeaTimer.exe (rightclick -> Properties-> Version) claims to be v1.5.0.0 now.

Alas, the problem is the same:

One big ORACLE Forms application takes 36 seconds from clicking "run"
in the developer user interface till the app starts up. With TeaTimer
stopped it takes the usual 1 - 1.5 seconds, for exactly the same app.,
same action. repeatably.

So currently i simply can't use TeaTimer (i can't afford to stare at the
screen for half a minute every two or three code changes), unless
1) i somehow can configure TeaTimer to not monitor the actions of
those well defined ORACLE Forms executables or
2) you fix that slow down issue. I only noticed it with ORACLE Forms
application compilation, Firefox et.al. seem unaffected
