MMX performance on Delphi Berlin

MMX performance on Delphi Berlin

Please check by opening the Winapi.Windows.pas. Delphi Seattle IDE hangs on 20 minutes. Berlin too?

    I was able to reproduce it and actually found a workaround:

    - open the registry and export the key Known Packages
    - delete all entries in that registry key
    - edit the reg file and move madExcept_.bpl before madExceptIde_.bpl
    - import the reg file

    Works at least for my installations XE2, Seattle and Berlin (others not tested yet).

    Sadly, I'm not using madExcept so that will not help me :(

    Primož Gabrijelčič Yes, that's a pity! Nevertheless, as the problem vanishes in a vanilla Delphi installation, I just kicked out all Experts and Known Packages leaving only the stock ones in. After checking that no expert is causing it, I re-registered the first half of the non-standard Known Packages, then the first half of the rest. When the delay occurs, I removed the last bunch and used the first half of it (you guessed it: binary search). That pointed me to the madExcept packages and from that moment it was a matter of minutes to figure out what change made it work again. I don't know about your packages, but a similar approach might work for you, too. I am sure it is a combination of addons for the IDE that produces this issue.
    BTW, for checking the issue in each iteration I used System.Sysutils.pas. It shows a similar performance issue, but not that much as WinApi.Windows.pas. If Sysutils parses almost instantly I double checked with Windows.
