I'm not sure why, but it takes an abnormal amount of time to open World Properties.

It takes about 7 seconds to open World Properties. I just closed MUSHclient and re-opened it, and it still takes that long. My computer isn't slow or anything. It has a gig of RAM, 2.66 GHz, etc. I don't think it should take this long to open. Any world will take this long to open. Any ideas why?

This has just started happening I presume?

Which version are you using?

Which properties window is it opening first? The one with the IP address on it or something else?

Do you have lots of triggers/aliases etc?

This has actually been happening for a while.

I was using 4.12 and then I updated to 4.16 today. The problem still exists.

Any properties window will do this. Triggers, IP, etc.

I have no triggers or anything. Maybe just one to save every 5min.

The problem is that MUSHclient freezes during this time. I have multiple windows open, and sometimes 7 seconds can easily mean life or death.

This sounds a bit like this that I reported:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=7750

However that was closing, not opening.

Most of the world property windows use "lazy opening" - that is, the particular page doesn't load all its stuff until you switch to it. For example, the triggers list, I think, doesn't load up until you view triggers.

I will take a look at what gets loaded up anyway (before the window displays) to see if I can spot something. About the only thing I can think of offhand that might take a few seconds is IP address resolution, which I don't think it even attempts to do.

Failing that I will try to make a version that shows on the status line which page it is loading (the values for), so you can try to see where the problem is.

Hm, well for the world I use an IP and not a domain if that matters.

Do you have heaps of lines in your output buffers when this happens? Maybe it is a paging issue?

Nope, like I said I tried it right when I re-opened MUSHclient. I had a total of maybe 500 output lines in all worlds.

OK, then. Please download this version:

http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/mushclient417.exe

Then using Lua set the config debug on:


utils.showdebugstatus ()


You could put that line into the Lua sandbox, or just execute it from the command line.

Then try opening the config. A whole heap of messages should flash by on the status line (too fast to read in my case). However if one sits there for a few seconds, please tell me what it is.

All I see in the status line after doing that is:
World config - showing dialog
Ready

But after Ready appears, it's still about 5 seconds before World Properties even appears.

Sigh. At least I know what it *isn't* now.

Let me take another look.

Do you have a script that runs on getting/losing the focus?

And, does it happen if scripting is disabled?

I don't have any scripts in any worlds.

Turning off scripting does not fix it either. But it does change the status bar, I think.

It now says "World config - showing dialog" the entire time, instead of showing Ready most of the time.

So it says "World config - showing dialog", and then there is a lengthy delay before the dialog appears?

Right. While that text is being shown, the World Properties is not yet loaded. Then once it loads about 7 seconds later, the status bar changes to Ready.

During that 7 seconds is the CPU usage of MUSHclient maxed out?
