slow xforms

[Bernhard Rumpler <rumpler@eunet.at>]

Hi!

We have severe problems when using aforms (Forms Library Ada Bindings,
V 0.86.0) Our distributed system depends on this library, all GUIs are
implemented with aforms so we can't avoid using it.
The problem is that the performance becomes extremly bad when we work
with tasks or protected types. When we try to create the distributed
partitions of our program (with gnatdist) the same problem occurs. Every
pixmap-load lasts for seconds, the whole program needs about 3 minutes
to start (normally it takes only a few seconds).

cause we need this mechanism especially for synchronisation we thought
of
an interface to a C-function using semaphores.

Has anyone an idea where our problem could be? Are there any
disadvantages when solving the problem with a C-interface?


Thanks for any help,
Martin, Bernhard
