Backend enabled dev server really slow (unusable)

[Mahron]

Hi,

when enabling backends on the dev server it gets really slow. Running
1.6.6 on windows 7. Has anyone experienced this ?

I observed that when enabling backends locally, the SDK tries to load and reserve memory compatible with you configuration file. For instance, if you have a B4 configured backend, then the SDK starts a new VM thread with all that memory and this slows down the whole development cicle.

We have added to our build script (we use ant build.xml), a target to enable / disable backends, by having a backends.in.xml template, and using ant filtering. This is awkward, but solved the problem of running the local SDK without the need to test backends locally.

Hope this helps,

Yes, very helpful thanks. Now I know where it comes from. I will try
to work around it.
