Wing stores its source analysis information to disk in a cache within your User Settings Directory However with large projects even reading this cache and checking files for updates may take a while when Wing is first started This process happens in the background after launch and takes 7 15 seconds per 100 000 lines of code on a Celeron 400 processor and should be almost unnoticable on any modern hardware In all cases Wing will eventually complete this process and should at that time consume almost no CPU during normal editing and debugging 4 In wxPython and other code that uses from xxx import style imports the auto completer may initially be slow to appear if it needs to process many hundreds of symbols This should only happen the first time it appears however 5 On Windows if Wing is started while operating via Remote Desktop Connection performance is terrible even after quitting the RDC session and working directly on the machine that is running Wing However if Wing is started on the machine on which it 105 runs performance is very lively on that machine and acceptable if switched to operating via RDC without quitting Wing 6 Some users have reported Hummingbird Socks Client for Windows to cause the de bugger to slow down substantially apparently as a result of improperly routed TCP IP packets 7 If you are displaying Wing remotely via X11 try turning off anti aliased fonts by placing this file in fonts co

ATTACHPORT environment variable before launching the debug program If this value is less than 0 the debug process will never listen for attach requests If it is greater than or equal to 0 this value is used when the debug process is running without being in contact with Wing IDE as might happen if it initially fails to connect to the above defined host and port or if the IDE detaches from the process for a period of time Set kPWFilePath and kPWFileName to define the search path and file name used to find a wingdebugpw file for the debugger The environment variables WINGDB_PWFILEPATH and WINGDB_PWFILENAME will override these settings The file path should be a Python list of strings if set in wingdbstub py or a list of directories separated by the path separator os pathsep when sent by environ ment variable The string lt winguserprofile gt may be used to specify Wing s User Settings Directory for the user that the debug process is running as The password file name is usually wingdebugpw but may be changed in cases where this naming is inconvenient Optionally set WINGHOME which is the location of the Wing IDE distribution s home directory This is set up during installation but may need to be altered 82 if you are running Wing from source or copied the debugger binaries over from another machine Setting any of the above described environment variable equivalents will override the value given in the wingdbstub py file
