[Eric] Long pause during save and restart.

[Patrick Moran]

Detlev,

I will try the latest code.

One other thing I should mention is that I use "pure 64 bit packages"
everywhere in the python installation. I'm use Python2.6 and have installed
all packages that are built for the 64 bit architecture based on the
installers at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ 
I've noticed that one of the pythonw.exe processes (I'm assuming the IDE
thread) is pegging 25% of my 4 core processor (Intel Core-I5) with this
installation configuration. I assume that means that one core is running
maxed-out.  There is a second python.exe process that seems to disappear and
reappear when I restart the debugger (restart script menu item). 

Thanks again.

Pat

I am using it on this platform as well and haven't seen such a behavior.
Could you update to the latest code from the source code repository and
check, if the issue persists? Are you using the same Python interpreter and
PyQt for the 64bit environment as for the 32bit environment?
