Performance considerations for using Samba with Eclipse
Samba is considered a chatty protocol. Though its performance is good in a local intranet, it can
be slow over the internet. Another consideration is that the Eclipse file system implementation
peruses all files and directories under your workspace, including those you link to outside your
workspace via Samba. Eclipse does this for a number of reasons, including file history management
and undo capabilities.
You can mitigate performance issues by setting up Samba sharepoints on OSS that limit the portion
of the file system accessed. For example, mounting the root directory of OSS and linking to it in
Eclipse results in poor performance because Eclipse attempts to peruse the entire OSS file system.
However, if you mount an OSS directory that contains only a small number of files and
sub-directories, performance is improved, especially on an intranet.
For details on setting up Samba sharepoints, see the Samba on NonStop User Manual.
