Improving Delphi 2009 IDE speed on a huge project using many components and libraries

I am using Delphi 2009.

On a huge project 300+ units, 5 third party components, many libraries, very often the IDE gets frozen for seconds, very often when "intellisense" (I don't remember how it is called) tries to give me suggestions.

Is there a way to improve the performance?

I will try also the following improvements:

1) format my machine

2) upgrade to Delphi XE

But can you suggest any other thing?

Solution

  • 3) buy a faster machine

    4) deactivate code hinting

    5) try IDE FixPack

    6) keep always in your mind: Hardware is Cheap, Programmers are Expensive
