Though I'm running on Windows, I think this might be a little
insightful. I was able to sniff a bit of this out using Process
Explorer (www.sysinternal.com). I can see that the IDLDE is indeed
going through my entire library (IDL_PATH). When that is done, the
"Analyzing code ..." message disappears and the process uses a lot
less CPU. One would think that the DE would be able to save these
settings and not parse the entire path everytime. There is a
preference under "IDL->Paths" to "Enable path cache" but it doesn't
seem to make a difference, the path gets parsed every time I start the
DE.
I've also tried clicking on the little icon next to the "Analyzing
code..." message to bring background processes into a view. Then
there is a "Cancel" button. I pressed this and the process says
"Cancelled" but the "Analyzing code..." continues (?)
