My application runs very slowly under CodeSnitch. Is there any way to get better performance?
CodeSnitch does send many events to the desktop, at least one for each API call it traps. In some cases, this may cause the application to run very slowly when running under CodeSnitch. Here are a few ways to get better performance: • Use the fastest possible connectivity mechanism between you desktop and target device. Ethernet, of course, yields best performace. Serial is not practical in many situations. • Decrease the number of events reported. On the Professional edition, there is a “Runtime Options” button on the Run dialog. Use that to set the minimum level of error reporting you need to analyze the problem you are trying to solve. Alternatively, the number of events you see CodeSnitch report may cause alarm and raise the question “Does my application really use the heap that much?”. You may determine better strategies for using the heap. • CodeSnitch on the target device sends events to CodeSnitch on the desktop in batches. A batch is defined as “when the event buffer fills” or
