[solved] Opera,firefox and wget extremely slow (dial-up style)

Hi there,
this is the first time i've tried Arch Linux (64bit), so bare with me please if i've got something stupidly wrong.
The Problem: Both Opera and Firefox are both extremly slow when opening websites. It "feels" like some kind of DNS problem, because the initial time before anything loads is quite long, but after that it goes quite quickly (though still a bit sluggish).
But here's the catch: Ping and loading websites in links work both perfectly fast.
For example accessing google.com in firefox: 40 seconds until page is loaded. In links about 1 second.
Wget seems to suffer from the same problem:
wget google.com
--2008-12-22 03:29:23-- http://google.com/
Resolving google.com...
It just takes a lot of time.
Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, i had a hunch:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv … the_Module
Adding the line to modprobe.conf solved the Opera and Firefox issues.
The behaviour of wget stays the same. Its still very very slow.
Programs that seem to be affected:
-wget
- ssh
- openntpd
Edit: Alright, the remaining issues were real network issues on my side. They are fixed now.

Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

One file maximum for uploads with Safari, Opera, FireFox and Chrome to OneDive

Some Windows 7 users have complained to they can only mark one file maximum for uploading with Safari, Opera, FireFox and Chrome to OneDive

Hi,
You mean that you access OneDrive via web browser?
From my tests, everything is normal and it seems there is no setting in browser to configure this number.
if I misunderstand this issue, please give us more information on it.

Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Firefox program is extremely SLOW.

I have used Firefox for a long time. I don't know what happened lately, but my Firefox is extremely SLOW. Takes minutes to change or to move to another item or chose another TAB. For awhile the screen would get weak and fad almost blank. When logging in to Firefox, it takes 4 to 5min. for Firefox to become active. My wife uses Internet Exp. That browser works good for her. I also, have Google Chrome and it works OK.

I too am having this problem. Or it just freezes. What the hell? I thought updates were suppose to be an improvement, not a back step. What can I do to solve this problem? I'm getting really ticked.

Help! MacBook Pro only boots in Safe Mode and runs extremely slow (bonus: happened in Brazil and there are no Apple stores here - I need you guys!)

It's a MBP mid 2010. Last year it had some problems and an Apple authorised shop changed the HD and upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. After that it seemed fine. Recently it started getting very slow and apps (e.g. Chrome, Flash) would crash. At some point it seemed stuck so I gave it a hard shutdown - bad idea. After that it would only boot in Safe Mode. I ran repar disk and repair permissions from the Disk Utility and it booted normally again but extremely slow. I upgraded to OS X 10.8.2, but didn't solve it. I tried booting with Command D to have a hardware diagnostic - it wouldn't boot and now it only boots in Safe Mode.
All data is backed and I have an external HD (but not an OS X Disc). Ready to anything. Help please!

Also you can perform #1 and #2 as these occur before Safe Mode, so you just reboot again with Shift key if you need to enter Safe Mode again.
At this point it sounds like your hard drive is dying or some sort of other hardware issue which I can only advise this.
Try to install OS X on a external drive and boot from it, if it's fine then you know your internal boot drive is dying.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
You can replace your internal drive yourself.
OtherWorld Computing is pretty good about providing drives and tool kits to perform that function yourself.

After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

I had my pc reformatted two days ago but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that! Please help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why Firefox netspeed is extremely slow, other browsers work well.

Firefox incoming netspeed is slow, only 1-4 Mb, should be 24Mb without loss.
All other browser shows 18-20 Mb.
Uninstall and reintall does not solve the problem, done several times.
F-Secure have been driven several times, no help.
F-Secure setup also checked.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works better.

FCP 6.0.1 Running and previewing extremly slow

Ever since I upgraded to 6.0.1 FCP is running extremly slow.
In my current project, I brought in a HDV QT.mov that needed to be Chroma Keyed and color adjusted. Previewing the chroma keyed file looks horrible (all jagged) unless I render it. That takes time. Then I added a piece of stock DV footage under that, blurred the background and it played back like crap until I rendered it. More time. And so on.
I can't make any adjustment and see how it looks without rendering.
When I was working in 5.1 FCP I was able to add all type of files and zip right through them pretty much. Now I can't seem to get my settings right or something...so as I apply different effects or filters I can never see on the fly how it looks without rendering it first. Then of course...if it's not right...I tweak it again but can't see how that looks until I render it again.
All my video files resides on a RAID that I created from 2 of my internal drives and it also is my scratch & render disk.
It's eating my lunch on production time.
Any suggestions Please.

You could try setting the render in the sequences you work with to ProRes. Found in that sequence setting's video processing tab.
But the real fix is to not work in HDV at all. If you have an Intel mac, a capture card like the Kona LHe card will transcode your HDV directly to ProRes... or AJA's Io HD (at the high end of this workflow) will transcode the HDV to ProRes on board the box itself... The Io will take your HDMI signal directly from the camera and transcode it to anything. It starts shipping any day now.
You're a brave soul attempting chroma keys with HDV... they are nigh on impossible to look good. But ProRes will make the rendering times go way down, and give you more real time playback of effects.

IPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks extremely slow and hangs

I upgraded to Mavericks and bought iPhoto 9.5.1 upgrade from the app store. Now, iPhoto is extremely slow in loading thumbnails. Once it loads a page or two, then it is fast to scroll the thumbnails it has already loaded, but as you go further back in time, it needs to load all the thumbnails. It eventually hangs. When I reboot the application, it doesn't remember the previous thumbnails and is again extremely slow. This version is way to slow to use and is actually unusable. It also doesn't show any faces in the face collection frames, and when you click on them, it opens up blank outlines, then when you click on these, it brings up the original photo with all the faces named. So the faces feature has major issues as well.
I never had any problem with the previous version of iPhoto. I am using a mid-2010 macbook pro with 8 g of ram. Anyone else have this problem and is Apple aware of the problems with this version?
Thanks.

Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Have you tried rebuilding the Library?

Final Cut loading and running extremely slow...

Hi, I posted about this a few days ago but in my usual panic (work to do!) I didn't make it clear, basically, here's the problem...
I recently had problems with FCP and generally all apps on my machine, when they loaded there was a slight pause when the icon bounced on the dock and I came across all sorts of errors, especially in FCP.
So, I backed up the two internal hard disks, formatted them both, then Raided them as one and put all the information back from the backup.
Since then everything's been working fine, I installed a new fresh copy of Final Cut Studio and I've done a few jobs.
Since finishing my last job last week (which happened to be working with MP4 files, I'm not sure if this is relevant), every time I load FCP now the icon struggles to bounce and it runs extremely slow, even if it's loading a new, blank project. From my last post, someone suggested I delete the render files from the MP4 project, I did so but still no luck.
I've run Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, no hope.
All other apps are fine but when I run FCP it slows the whole machine down, takes forever to force quit and restart until it's back to normal.
Next step is to re-install Final Cut Studio but even if this works, I'd like to have an idea why this has happened??? I've never had problems like this with my mac before.
Thanks, hope this is clear and not too much!

It would have been much better to find the problem than to just move it around.
All you have done is create a RAID where none was needed. When you moved your clone back to the RAId, you only moved all of the original problems to a new drive.
You are probably looking at a complete scorched earth-style reformat and reinstallation of everything from scratch since you've done so much damage.
There were a couple of things to try before you made the RAID but they would have been found by asking some questions and searching in the Mac OS10 forums.

Oracle ODBC and DAO extremely slow

Hi
I'm using Microsoft DAO 3.6 with an Oracle ODBC connection (version 9.2) in an VB6 application.
Opening an updateable dynaset is extremely slow, I have measured the performance with Oracle ODBC, Microsoft Oracle ODBC and Microsoft SQL-Server ODBC as follows:
Oracle ODBC: 1952 ms
MS Oracle ODBC: 360 ms
MS SQL-Server ODBC: 40 ms (connection to a MS SQL-Server)
If I use the SQLpassthrough option the result is about 10 ms in all 3 cases, but the dynaset is readonly !
The testing program is as follows:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function timeGetTime Lib "winmm.dll" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim wsdata As DAO.Workspace
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim dbconn As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim start As Long
dbconn = "ODBC;DSN=AdhocitORA;UID=adhocit;PWD=adhocit;"
Set wsdata = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set db = wsdata.OpenDatabase("", False, False, dbconn)
start = timeGetTime
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from Afdeling", dbOpenDynaset)
rs.MoveLast
rs.MoveFirst
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
MsgBox "Time " & timeGetTime - start
End Sub
Is there any setting in the Oracle ODBC, that need to be adjusted ??
Erling

Why are you doing a moveLast followed by a moveFirst? That's going to force Oracle to retrieve all the records in the recordset. If there are a lot of records, you'll probably see a benefit if you increase the prefetch in the Oracle ODBC DSN configuration.

(Firefox is so extremely slow, it's unbelievable (google needs about 1 minute to load). Every other browser works perfectly fine. How is that possible

I love Firefox and I still want to use it but my love doesn't go as far as waiting one minute for every page to load.
I deactivated every Plug in. I tried with the other versions Firefox offers (moon something).
I uninstalled several times and installed it again.
Please Help Me!!!!!!
