CodeOutliningRangeBased very slow, pls help!

Hi,

I am testing the Range-Based Code Outlining using the sample provided under:
ProductSamples/SyntaxEditorSamples/QuickStart/CodeOutliningRangeBased/

I have created a new project to test it. The response of SyntaxEditor seems to be very slow after enabling the outlining.

Here is the testcase:
---------------------
I created a new project and add the file fillowing files to the project:

JavascriptOutliner.vb
JavascriptOutliningParser.vb
JavascriptOutliningSource.vb
JavascriptSyntaxLanguage.vb
SyntaxEditorHelper.vb

Window1.xaml
--------------
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="500" Width="600" xmlns:editor="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/syntaxeditor">
<Grid>
<editor:SyntaxEditor HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="SyntaxEditor1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>
</Window>


Window1.xaml.vb
----------------
Public Class Window1
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
SyntaxEditor1.Document.Language = New JavascriptSyntaxLanguage
End Sub
End Class


I then tried to editor a file (~50k). I found that the response of the editor was very slow after enabling outlining. I then opened the sample vb project in vs2010 and ran it. The "Code Outlining - Range-Based" sample ran much faster than the one that I had created from scratch.


I tried to put some timers in both projects to trace the response time for comparsion, here are the timers that I had put:

1) SyntaxEditor -> DocumentTextChanged

Debug.Print(String.Format("SyntaxEditor1_DocumentTextChanged TypeTime: {0}", DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMilliseconds - OldMethodStart.TotalMilliseconds))

OldMethodStart = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay

2) I also put one in the JavascriptOutliningParser.vb -> Function Parse

OldMethodStart = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay

Dim out As JavascriptOutliningSource = New JavascriptOutliningSource(request.Snapshot.Document.CurrentSnapshot)

OldMethodEnd = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay
Debug.Print(String.Format("Parse Timer: {0}", OldMethodEnd.TotalMilliseconds - OldMethodStart.TotalMilliseconds))

Return out


I ran both projects, and kept pressing a key in the Editor (trying to similar faster typing).

I got the following output from my new created project:

SyntaxEditor1_DocumentTextChanged TypeTime: 209.961000002921
Parse Timer: 146.484400004148
SyntaxEditor1_DocumentTextChanged TypeTime: 426.757800005376
Parse Timer: 178.710900001228
SyntaxEditor1_DocumentTextChanged TypeTime: 416.992200002074
Parse Timer: 142.578100003302


You can see that the SyntaxEditor triggered JavascriptOutliningParser.vb -> Parse everytime when I type a character. That means it tried to do the outlining everytime when I type.


The following output is from the Sample project. The JavascriptOutliningParser.vb -> Function Parse was trigger less frequently.

I am sorry to send you such a long question, but the performance of the outlining seem to be very frustrating.

Questions
---------
1) Why the SyntaxEditor in the project that I have created triggered the outlining process for every single character I typed?

2) Can you please let me know how to set the SyntaxEditor so that the outlining can behave as the one in the sample project? (It trigger the outlining less frequetly)


Please let me know if you need my sample project.

Thanks
Cow
