Absurd load times

I'm getting absurd load times of 4 - 10 hours on this streaming device on a movie rental. My Internet connection is excellent 10mbps. What gives?

Is that advertsied or actual speed (www.speedtest.net) ?
If on wifi try ethernet and www.istumbler.net to check for interference
Make sure you are using your ISPs DNS

Long Load Times on Graphic Intensive Games

I'm experiencing some absurdly long load times (1-3 hours) with many games (SPORE, Portal, X:3, etc...) that I believe may be related to how graphically intensive they are. Older games with lower graphics quality (WoW, Civ 4, etc...) load up fine.
When I load any newer game the icon appears in the tray and the computer does nothing else for at least an hour, whereupon the program loads and begins playing immediately--often without any further delays or issues.
I also use Boot Camp to run Windows Vista (Ultimate 32) and experience no delays when running SPORE on Windows.
Below are my specs:

That's old info for the HDD space--I've purchased an external, so my main drive stays plenty free, now.

I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.
Here is the crash report:

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

Can a BIG form be served up one page at a time to avoid long load time?

Tricks I have read for optimizing the load time of large forms are not helping. Linearization causes the first page to render quickly, but you can't interact with the fields until the whole form finishes loading -- no help there. Is there a way to break the form into pages (without creating entirely separate forms) so the user can fill out a page, hit a Next Page button, fill out that page, etc.? Understood that this is an old school idea, but until Reader can download a 1+ MB form in less time than it takes an average user to get ticked off, old school might do the trick.
Alternatively, is there a way to construct a form so you can start interacting with it without having to wait for it all to load? This question comes from the (uninformed) assumption that maybe there are forward references that can't be satisfied until all the bits have come over the wire. If that's right, can a multipage form be architected so as to avoid this problem?

No that technology does not exist yet. There are form level events that need to have the entire document there before they can fire. Also you would have to keep track of where you are so that would mean some sort of session information for each user.

Iceland site - load times ok?

Here is a site from our trip to Iceland. Are the image and movie load times ok?

Of course, any design suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thanks.
TomBud, I know the corners look bad on a few shots. Believe me, I was kicking myself when I looked at the video for not being more careful. I tried putting in a matte in the corners, like little triangle pieces, but I think it detracted from the video more than the blemishes.

Slow BIOS load times

Hello, I own a T420i and have been experiencing very slow load times on startup. The "ThinkPad" BIOS screen stays active for roughly 5-10min before continuing like normal. Once operational the computer works fine other then an occasional freeze up (which becomes extremely annoying with a boot time of 10 min).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Epitome, welcome to the forums,
do you have any external devices, especiall USB storage, attached to the system when booting? If so please detach them to see if you experience the same problem.
If the system boots normally please exclude the USB devices from the boot order in BIOS; the system may be scanning them for boot information before moving on to start from the main hard drive.

Improving load times in Linux LabVIEW executable

I'm looking for (simple) ways to improve the loading times in a Linux LabVIEW executable. We're using a low performance, low cost CPU board, and loading times are terrible. The CPU is capable of doing everything after the application is loaded, but takes forever to get there.
One of the problems is the size of the executable, that grows everytime you just look at it. Are there ways to create smaller executables? It runs from a Compact Flash card, which is ofcourse much slower than hard disk.
Another problem is a dynamic vi, that is started for every TCP connection that connects to the application. It takes a long time to load, and connecting too fast can even effectively hang up the system. Starting a handler task takes about half a second, up to a few seconds for the first task.
We're using the LabVIEW 7.1 runtime, system is a 300 MHz cyrix SBC, running from a Compact Flash.

I'm
not sure about the first part of your question. LabVIEW is highly
binary and does a lot of memory allocations before even one VI is ready
to be started. So maybe the memory manager is a problem. Another issue
is that the Macintosh like resource file format that is used by LabVIEW to store its VIs etc. results in
lots and lots of individual disk accesses with a rther random like
character inside a single file. So if you can configure the read
caching of your disk to use more memory this may significantly increase
the speed of loading LabVIEW VIs or applications.
And finally spawning VIs through VI server is a rather costly operation
especially on low resoruce systems. A VI is more like an executable in
many ways as far as resource consumption is concerned rather than a
thread. A much better way would be to avoid spawning subVIs altogether
and implement a queued TCP/IP server similar to the Date Time Server
example. It is a little extra work to work with this shift register
architecture but it will not have the issues of long load times for
every new TCP/IP connection coming in.

Slow load times

Hi there -
Is there a good way to improve load times for my pages that have Edge animation? I have a very simple slide show set up, and even with the Preloader script, it's taking many seconds to load the page. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi Amy,
Did you try the suggestions in this article?

Long load times and poor application performance

We have packaged and deployed Adobe CC using SCCM within my school division. It pushed out fine, but now when we attempt to open Photoshop (or any other CC app) it has unusually long load times. 2-4 minutes. It seems to be hanging at the "Reading preferences" stage. After the application appears to have started, it takes an unusually long time to actually start working in the application (it appears to just hang).

Hello There,
EXE's always bundle additional files because it is a stand-alone entity. And, if the size 9GB then it will surely take time to load all the files. I'll check with the team again on how we can optimize it. BTW, are the videos inserted as slide video or Event video?
Thanks,
Vish

Slow load times on AU sites?

is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!

I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through.

Dvrcast load times - is HDS a solution?

We are streaming H.264 video to the dvrcast application using RTMP streaming. Everything is working fine, though we are noticing some unacceptable load times when loading large videos for playback that have been recorded this way. I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/3399973#3399973 which offers some suggestions. I will be looking into post-processing the video to defragment it, but I'm also interested in HDS. Is it possible to use HDS with dvrcast streams that were recorded to mp4 via RTMP streaming? I tried the HDS URL convention - http://server/dvrcast_origin/stream_name.f4m but this isn't working. Are there other suggestions for improving load times for long videos with the dvrcast application?

Additionally, I can't seem to get the F4V post processor to work with these files. It is throwing an error "cannot open file" and the -v flag adds no helpful output.

Long load times

I am trying to edit a page and I only have a css page which is local linked to the page. It only affects me when trying to work in split or design view. I hav tried disabling the linked files thing and I have tried this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/887/cpsid_88742.html also, but I am still getting this long time. It seems to only affect the load time when I have the following in my head tag;
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css"/>
It also slows the performance drastically, If I type the letter "D" then deleete that letter it will freeze up for a for a short period of time. I can not have this when trying to create websites for clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Reducing Load Times / Design Architecture

I'm designing a flash site with a Dynamic Gallery (loading images from a XML file). what can I do to reduce load time at the beginning, or limit loading times to individual images?
I've seen designs which loads another SWF file on top of the current one. Is this feasible?
Any details would be greatly appreciated.

If loading the images is the goal of the file, then the quickest way to do that is to concentrate on the images. Any way you load them, they have to be loaded. Be sure they are optimized for the web. If the gallery intent would allow for it, have the images loaded on request, using thumbnails or other button-like interfaces. Or maybe load different sections at a time. Or load so many at first, then load the rest in the background so that there's something to look at while the rest load.
I don't know what purpose you have in mind for loading another swf into the file, so I can't offer any ideas there.

IE6, load times & pngs

true or false: using pngs (specifically png-8's WITHOUT alpha
transparency,
but with gif-style 1-bit transparency) adds load time to a
page versus a
comparable transparent gif of the same file size.
I have been told this is causing some latency and it doesn't
seem correct to
me. Are there any reliable articles out there that can speak
to this? Anyone
just know?

False. Because the PNG file compression algorithm is more
efficient than
the GIF file's simplistic algorithm, an 8-bit PNG image will
always be about
10-15% smaller than the comparable GIF image, and perhaps
more if the image
contains vertical bands or textures. Also, comparing the
render times for
two images, of the identical weight, where one is GIF and the
other is PNG,
would show no difference.

Data Load Times, etc.

Hello Forums:
I saw this website:
http://www.s-w-h.com/index.php?language=en
And found that a website like this loaded very quickly, and
seemed to fit almost all resolution.
I was wondering how did they make it fit dynamically? And how
did they manage to reduce load times so significantly?
I kinda wondered if it's possible to develop a massive forum
or online community thing using purely Flash. Would that be
possible? What if there were lots of user interaction, can the load
times be significantly cut down?

Does it load all the data while connected with 5GHz frequency… What is the IP address that you are getting from the Router? You can check the IP address in the following manner:
If you wish to find out your own IP address, you should run the same ms-dos prompt by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" … There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type “IP address of Default Gateway” that will open up the Router setup page…
# In that page itself make the MTU size to 1400 from Auto….
# Make the following Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11.. Click Save Settings...
Then check the connectivity…
