TestComplete very slow on MFC app

Hi all,   Just wondering if anyone has had this problem with their old MFC app automation.   When TC peforms actions like double-click, click or even Log.Message it is performing that action than...

    Smartbear support figured it out. The performance counters I had setup weeks ago were causing it. It's most likely my fault though. I had set them up on my local PC with a value "localhost" but somehow in all my copying of projects (long story, hadn't setup SVN at that time) the value had become baked in with my PC name.

     

    Once I set that back to "localhost" all was well!

FYI I've narrowed this down a bit. Probably not related to my app being MFC based.

 

If I perform an action like 

 

Log.Message("blah");

 

The first time it runs that line there's a huge delay of ~30 seconds.

 

But after hitting that line the first time, subsequent runs of Log.Message and button clicks run normal.

 

It's as if TC has to initialize something that first time. 

 

Have a support request in so will see what it is.

    Ok. It's something with the log.

     

    If I set the below she runs smooth again:

     

    Log.Enabled = false;

     

    Of course this is still not good. Will see what Smartbear support finds but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
