Are you recording lots of data to get an insight in the real-time workings of your application? Does it slow down the overall performance of your PC?
Then you may consider following:
Analyzer recordings can be very large. The raw compressed recording itself can be several GB large, after decompression and analysis, the temporary data footprint can increase by a factor of 30-100.
Most of this data is kept on disk in the designated temporay folder. If this folder is located on a slow disk, the overall performance suffers.
If you have another disk with better performance available, set the environment variable ISYSTEM_TEMP to a folder on that disk.We also recommend to defragment this disk.
If you are still struggling with performance problems, consider that profiler and coverage analysis are parallelized. So these can take advantage of a multi-core PC to increase the overall processing performance.
We recommend following system configuration:
- 4-8 core CPU
- 8GB or more RAM
- 100GB free space on TEMP drive. The drive should be defragmented.
