Why do Visual Studio and Eclipse spend hours "updating workspace"?
![]()
On accepting the the latest changes, a colleague had to wait for an hour with a "Progress Information" dialog containing "Accepting changes" and "Updating workspace...". At the same time (using Resource Monitor) we could see that the .itemdata file for every file in RTC was being read. 1) Why does it do this and 2) why does it take so long?
Visual Studio 2012, RTC 4.0.4 |

Same problem in Eclipse. It says it's "Recomputing pending changes".
Seems to be caused by swapping between Eclipse and RTC.
Sorry, I meant to say that it seems to be caused by swapping between Eclipse and Visual Studio RTC clients.
