Performance is bad

When i started with Katalon couple of weeks ago the tool was fast now i have several scripts and objects but the performance has deteriorated. Sometimes each click takes upto 5 seconds. Any suggestions to improve the performance. ?
Katalon : 5.3.1
Windows 7
RAM 8GM

Hi @4581-Shiju

Thank you for your feedback. Would please provide more details information about your Katalon Project? How long was the execution? Number of TCs? Environments?

Katalon team would like to further investigate the issue.

Thank you for your feedback,
Liam

Hi Liam,
The execution time is acceptable. I was referring to the application as a whole like for example if I click on “Add” button in the test case it takes 3 seconds to add a step. Lets say i want to rename an object it takes 2 seconds to bring up the rename modal. Right click on a folder takes 4 seconds. Overall it seems as though i am remoting into a PC that is terribly slow.
Currently I have:
8 Test Cases with max of 190 lines of code per test case
About 50 Objects in Obj Rep
1 Test Suite with three test cases all of them have Variable Binding
4 Data Files with not more than 10 columns and 2 rows
4 Reports

Try below params in katalon.ini

-server
-Xms3G
-Xmx3G
-XstartOnFirstThread
-XX:+AggressiveOpts
#-XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=1
#-XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=2
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=2
#-Xverify:none

This is what I see in my katalon.ini. Not sure what needs to be changed

-startup

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.201.v20161025-1711.jar

–launcher.library

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.401.v20161122-1740

-data

config

-vmargs

-Xms256m

-Xmx4048m

Please take the backup of existing katalon.ini
and
make the below changes

-startup

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.201.v20161025-1711.jar

–launcher.library

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.401.v20161122-1740

If you face any issues revert it.

@Siva , I made the changes and no improvements. It annoys me that every click takes two seconds and app freezes for a brief moment. @Liam any help is appreciated.

Siva and Liam thank you so much for your reponse. I found the root cause, its because i was saving my scripts in network drive instead of my local. After i changed it back to my desktop it works fine.

Hello!
Can you, please, tell me how did you do this change?

I am having the same issue, it is starting to be annoying :confused:

Sorry for the late response. Where is your file being saved? Is it your desktop or is it some kind of shared drive?
