Projects with comments become un-responsive

OS Win 7
Scratch 1.4

Once I began adding comments to the program, Scratch would stop responding for a period of time. The taskmgr shows scratch using 12% or 13% [the entirety of one of the virtual processors?] of the cpu cycles. And System Idle Process using the rest but a percent or two.

Is this an issue with a known resolution?

i7
6gb ram
64bit win7

if it matters

Any long scripts? How many comments did you have?

ejw009 · 2012-09-05 09:41:52

the entire file is about 208kb
about 80 lines
18 comments

the entire file is about 208kb
the whole program is about 80 lines
additionally, there are 18 comments

What browser are you using? My large game, Stik, has 400+ comments and works fine.

EDIT: It's not the comments. What happens here is very similar to my particle simulator: too much looping.

w/e the cause, I can hardly open the file
and the problem didn't occur until I went back in and started adding comments.
My copy w/o the comments works just fine. That's what led me to blame the comments.

None of them work online, but I think that's something different

Also, I can replicate the problem in a program w/ zero loops.
The problem starts after attaching about the tenth comment to the program and progressively gets worse.

I may need to find another way to add my notes. Perhaps just putting the comment near the line w/o attaching it?

Unless there's a fix instead of a work-around.

Darn.
I was really hoping that there was some setting I could change on my machine which would allow me to add more notes to my projects.

How about this?
Does anyone else have the same problem?

No, but I know that attaching comments to scripts can cause the project to run slower. A possible workaround is to use few comments (try fusing some of them together instead of having multiple comments) or to simply place the comments next to the scripts instead of attaching them.

So maybe it's not particular to my machine?
It's possibly something to do with Scratch instead?

Yes.
