I think I need a new CPU

This is me starting Minecraft Forge from Eclipse...

why start it from an IDE? Franky I never start an application from my IDEs. IDEs make them soooo slow

@netikras Well I'm developing a core mod... But I have had massive performance problems for a few days now. I think my unactivated Windows 7 might be the cause (note the black wallpaper lol)

@12bitfloat yeah I figured you are developing smth for the game (it would be weird to use an IDE just as a kickstarted for the game's initialization :D ). Nevertheless, try launching the app w/o an IDE wrapping its process. Build it however you want, but launch it out of the IDE. You can attach the debugger later on if you need to.

FTR having a debugger attached makes the application run MUCH slower. Having the debug port open makes it only somewhat slower but could be a reason of random freezes, esp. when the app is calling native methods, like searching for classes in a classloader

@netikras That's a good idea, but this is the classpath... :D

@12bitfloat pack 'em into the jar and launch that buggar!

@netikras forge grade used to have a launch Mc command no need to pack stuff

@shoop I've been developing Minecraft mods for years now, it's actually quite amazing. Especially making core mods

I must admit, that hurts

@12bitfloat probably a dumb idea, but have you played with the VM arguments?
I'm pretty sure there are settings for RAM and other performance stuff.

@StefanH Thanks for the offer but I don't want to upgrade for another few months

Seems like there is someone up for a rig update.

CPU. Comes probably with new RAM and most likely a new board.

And don't forget that Win7 will die soon as well... :O

@Rohr Yeah... That's gonna be expensive :D

@12bitfloat probably. But I've seen a couple of awesome budget value option out there. Especially when you are open for an AMD setup...
