Painfully slow IDL startup [message #52001] Sun, 24 December 2006 07:17

How can I speed up the startup of IDL? I'm running a license-servered setup
on several OSX boxes. It takes 20-30 seconds to start IDL. When I try to set
up PVM and IDL_IDLBridges, this results in intolerable delays, since I have
this long a wait for each IDL process.

I've also found, since running 10.4.X, that the startup time increases
depending on how long the machine has been running. This is not just a
problem for IDL - it also happens when running an astronomy image package,
ds9, so we have to reboot the machine daily.

I've commented out everything in my startup file, such as long path
searches, and I've redefined IDL_DLM_PATH so that there are not even any
DLMs to look for.

It seems like this is an lmgrd issue - does anyone have any suggestions
about how to turn on logging for lmgrd to see what the delay is caused by?
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Thanks!
