Afterstep loading too slowly

I am trying the afterstep window manager but if loads too slowly
Everytime it loads ,when it gets to the bit where it "reloading menu pixmaps" it takes ages. Is there anything I can do to stop it reloading menu pixmaps apart from deleting all my pictures?

Andy - you will notice how slow USB 1 is when you are syncing lots of music (1GB or more) but it won't be that bad when you are syncing a couple CDs worth of music or a TV show or video.
When I tested the original Nano on my wife's G4 iMac I found that a CD takes about a minute to transfer over USB 1. That's not too bad. Of course waiting for the entire Nano to fill up, that was a much longer wait! Since we tend to swap out only a couple CDs at a time, it isn't a big deal.

  • Why my compiled swf is loading too slowly?

    Hi,
    Previously we are directly accessing th site with .mxml url.
    Thta time file was loading too slowly. But afterwords, we are
    loading compiled .swf file. It is much better.
    assume, we are having two swfs
    1.compiled swf is 400KB.
    2. and one animated swf is 1.5MB.
    here for our site animated swf it self is loading much faster
    then my compiled swf. Why it is happenning like this? What we have
    to do to load our compiled .swf also to be loaded much more fastly.
    Thanks
    Satish KC.

    Load speed depends on how you have architected the
    application.
    Avoid nested containers. Do not use creationPolicy="all"
    There are articles available out there try google.

  • Safari loads too slowly since updating to Yosemite

    So slowly I can't really use it despite it's clean fresh new look.  I have a macbook air.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Slow image load time in web browsers. My images load too slowly.

    Hi, My images are loading slowly in my site. They are png and all under 600kb. Should they be jpegs (they are photos) Can anyone advise?

    I would do a few tests, I think you might be fine with the High setting, but also try a little lower if you can to conserve load time. It would be good to get your files to around 120kb each.
    A .jpeg file is the way to go, as .png files tend to be 20-40% larger.
    Here is an image that is set to 730x486- saved as Medium - Quality 50 - jpeg - final size 99 kb

  • Flash loading too slowly on webpage

    I've got a problem with the flash content on my website. I
    have got preloaders on all the swf files on my site but it takes a
    while before the preloader starts playing and I would like to know
    why. When I click on some of the files there is a blank background
    for quite a few seconds before the percent loaded preloader starts
    and by the time it starts the content is already about 50% loaded.
    Why doesn't it start showing from 0% loaded? Could someone perhaps
    help me with this? Thx.
    The link is:

    Any help would be much appreciated! Thx.
    Talitha

    Well I don't have an answer for you yet your preloader worked
    perfectly when I viewed your file. That may have soemthing to do
    with the fact that I am using Broadband.

  • Splash screen image loads too slowly

    I am displaying a splash screen (JWindow with just a JLabel containing an ImageIcon) The problem is that a blank (sold gray) window pops up, but the image isn't displayed immediately. so sometimes the application opens (covering the splash screen) before the image is shown.
    MediaTracker doesn't seem to help, it seems to return from waitForID() immediately.

    Thanks for the replies...
    I wasn't sure how a loader class would know if the image was loaded, since media tracker seemed to think that it was already loaded.
    I hadn't considered the AWT since sun usually pushes swing and "lightweight" components. but a quick search found an AWT splash screen implementation that solved my problem. In the code they use media tracker also.
    below is a link to the AWT splash screen implementation incase others are interested:

  • Loading time within webbrowser is too slowly

    Hi guys,
    I have made a map with interactive location points, the only thing is, that it started after approx. 9 sec within the web browser and this is really too slowly.
    It is made with mouseover and out code, and when you roll over with the mousebutton about a point a small info text appears.
    It jumps within the timeline to the labels, that's all.
    Have anyone an idea what I have made wrong?
    Thanks you all for your help, I am lost at the moment.
    Floyd

    Hi Tim,
    nice to hear of you again, it is very kind of you that you will risk a look into my very first animation in Edge. I was relatively fit in Flash, so I have already a bit experience – but not too much of coding.
    In the map-ani there are purple and grey points and if someone trigger a mouseover an info text appears, if the mouse is out of the points the text disappears. Sounds simple – actually .
    I have made symbols I thought it could save time for the processing work, but it doesn't.
    So the purple points comes from one symbol it is called: "Kreis_Ani_Pink" (it is German) and the grey one is called "Kreis_Ani_Grau", they all are used within the city-points symbols for example: E_Punkt_01 or DU_Punkt_02 and so on.
    Hope I have understand the functionality about the timeline, because at first I have stopped it, than it start again and stopped, so I got at least my little bars, which indicate me the presence of the objects in the timeline.
    So, you have noticed that I come from Germany and unfortunately we have a bank holiday tomorrow, that means a long weekend, therefore I can't answer you in this time. If you have an idea what I made wrong with this type of interactive animation, I would be happy to hear or better read it by you,
    Have also a great weekend - until next week - perhaps

  • Flash website loading VERY slowly

    Hi there, I am a total newbie to flash web design, I've used it in the past to make animations but no webstuff, but as a I'm making a site as favour to a freind.
    I've struggled with this project all the way through (as some you that have helped me along the way will know).
    Anyway, I've finaly got the site ready to go online, upped it and and guess what, its loading massively slowly - abnormally slowly.
    I was just wondering if anyone could hazard a guess as to why its so slow (I realise there are many factors which could be contributing to this but still).
    The url is www.siobhannolan.co.uk, the site was made entirly in flash cs5, with a bit of xml coding (loading the side menus and image scrollpane swf's).
    I had to use the flv file to load the one video on there, which I realise has weighed it all down a bit, this was because flash doesn't seem to want to load the video loader from a swf into the main page - any ideas of a quick way around this?
    I have also create a seperate scene for each page, with buttons on each page tio navigate.
    would optimising the images further increase the speed at all? (at the moment they are pngs, each set of photos wieghing in between 1 and 6 mgs - one set per menu item).
    I realise that there might be things I could do in the html to optimise this - any idea where I can learn more about this kind of thing?
    Any ideas or pointer would be graciously recived, kindest regards Dmian

    It sounds like you just have too much weight in the file and possibly coming into it dynamically as well.  Images at 1 MB are easily 10 times larger than they need to be based on the size of the stage I saw when I glanced at the site.  Spend some time with Photoshop (or train your friend) getting the images down to the dimensions you use in the site, and let Photoshop optimize them for the web too.  png images can be weighty depending on what they portray.  For photos I recommend going with optimized jpeg formats.

  • Why does my firefox web browser load so slowly

    I'm running XP Home and my firefox3.6.12 web browser is Loading very slowly.

    I have firefox 3.6.12 as well, but windows xp pro, sp3. plus : comodo internet security free. I took NoScript off and all my add-ins.
    Firefox used to load in less than 5 seconds on startup and/or reboot. Now it takes up to 30 seconds to load. Once Firefox has been run once since it's first run in a Windows session, it loads fast (3-5 seconds) like it used to.
    I completely removed Firefox, deleted the mozilla folder, did a fresh download of firefox 3.6.12 and installed it. NO add-ins except Adobe Acrobat and the ones that come with a fresh download of Firefox.
    Still WAY slower than it was with previous versions.
    I really liked the old Firefox. And I was running Comodo Internet Security Free then too. And I removed that and re-installed a fresh version. Nothing makes it start up the first time in a reasonable amount of time like before.
    What gives??????

  • IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

    iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll.  I have never seen this problem before with photo pages.  Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
    I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail.  The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
    I have tried restarting my iBook.
    I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit.  The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time.  I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template.  Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project.  Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

    I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery.  Thanks for your ideas.
    Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications.  Also I will make fewer modifications.
    Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error.  Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad.  I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far.  Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book.  I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher.  This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
    iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo.  The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

  • Iphoto is running too slowly.

    My iphoto is running too slowly. I think I have too many pictures. I do not want an editing program. Is iphoto library manager what I need to? I have read so  many of the questions here but can't find one that fits my problem. Will getting the library manage help? Do I delete photos from iphoto then? Is the trial version ok or do I have to pay the $30?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    what do you mean by "too slowly"?

  • Firefox processes, renders and loads pages slowly.

    Firefox v.29.0.1 loads webpages slowly. When I visit a website it loads information for that page very slowly. (ex. msn.com, irs.gov) There is a small box in the lower left corner stating that it is waiting for----. Then it begins transferring data needed to render the page. Sometimes the page does not render correctly. I have tried resetting FF but that did not work. Is there a setting that was changed when FF updated to v29.
    Anyone else have this issue?
