Flash builder very slow

Question

Hi all,
i'm using Adobe® Flash® Builder™® 4.7
with Windows 7 64bits, Core i5, 8Go RAM, SSD Samsung EVO PRO 256Go
After a few minutes Flash Builder becomes very slow. I can no longer enter a lineunless it freeze. The processor increases its frequency and everything returns tonormal after a few seconds if I did nothing...
I tried the methods provided in this link:
Flash Builder 4 Extremely slow under Windows 7 + Java
It is better but still not enough.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Best regards,
PY

Hi,
Don't know if it's the same problem that I have but here's my problem and solution.
Every time I embed CFF fonts in code I get the same behaviour, ie:
[Embed(source="E:/Library/fonts/arial.ttf",
fontFamily="Arial_CFF",
fontWeight= "normal",
fontStyle= "normal",
mimeType="application/x-font",
embedAsCFF="true",
advancedAntiAliasing="true")]
private const  Arial_Normal_CFF:Class;
So my solution is to place all embeds in a separate master package like InitMaster.as
Then I just extend the main class with it.
package {
     import InitMaster;
     public class Main extends InitMaster{
           public function Main() {
               //Do your other stuff here          
The sluggishness (is this a word?) happens only when I open the InitMaster and do copy/paste.
Oh, and I have a dual cpu, 12 core (24HT) machine with SSD dics and 64GB RAM so it's not a hardware issue.
Hope this helps.
