Hi,

I am now using a front end that uses semantic as a back-end; this is good.
But, I have noticed this for a while now:

The code base I work with is large. When I open a file in the code base
semantic will parse the buffer and this takes a second or two (it is written
good enough so that if I want to still move the cursor during parsing I can:
that is, Emacs does not freeze). Then, perhaps I move to a class method
(someClass.cpp:someMethod()) and I type the substring of a member of the class:

_someMem

Semantic takes anywhere between 10-30 seconds before I get a response
(again, it is interruptible).

But I do not think this should be happening at all. I expect it to almost be
instant because I have been to this file so many times and there is an
existing "!*!semantic.cache" file for this directory and it saves and gets
updated every time.

 - So why does it takes so long for semantic to give me results even if
there is a db cache?
