Very slow performance after the first run!


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm currently having a small issue with my script. I'm automating the export of some files with a 3rd party application which lacks a decent way to script around.

The app works just fine, but after the 2nd or 3rd run, whole OS (I'm running this on Windows 7 inside VMWare) is slow as hell!

I tried adding sleep()'s all around just to give it time to catch up, but to no avail.

Can someone shed some light as to why this is happening? (My code to "allow the VM to catch up" doesn't really fix anything, even after that long pause, the VM is still slow as hell)

My code:

You have a loop without sleep (line 229), maybe this is your problem?

Did you try it? Its part of your main loop and its called recursively..

 

Yes I did try it. It has no effect on the actual automation on the UI actions. That's where it lags. 

The whole code seems inefficient in the way it is structured. Please provide a small working reproducer that anyone can run. It's hard to debug when I cannot really run the script.

 

I would if I had any idea exactly what causes it to slow down after the first try.

The 3rd party app is written in QT. It seems that after the first run, the "File Save" dialogue takes a lot of time (>3seconds) to render. And I'm not sure WHY, as I'm restarting the app...
