Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-18330:
---------------------------------------------

upgrading this do critical bug instead of minor enhancement.

I don't have a windows box readily near me today - anyone care to do a screencast of this just to understand the full impact (or give some time comparisons?)

> The Forge console appears to be sluggish in Windows. It appears to be so slow that characters appear one at a time.
> Scripts also execute much slower on Windows as compared to Linux or Mac, and often require setting the {{--timeout}} parameter for longer scripts.
> The root cause appears to be the Forge plugin itself, that writes characters to the console, one at a time, and often delegated to a separate thread that updates the JFace document. This could be optimized to ensure that:
> * updates to the document are done in 'block mode' instead of 'character mode'.
> * context-switching between the execution thread and the UI thread is also minimized.
