Boot Slow Down Help!
Hello Everyone,
I need some help tracking down a problem which causes
a slow down in the boot up of my system. I believe
the problem is linked with Nouveau due to repeated entries
in the Xorg.0.log.
Using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, I don't get the slow down.
Can someone help me figure out what's going on?
Here is the link to the Xorg.0.log:

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response!
I've checked systemd already and the slowest starting service
is about 3 seconds so I believe that it's not linked to any service.

I don't think I'v ever had this problem before - the whole system keeps slowing down to a crawl - every app, the cursor, every thing -
I just did the disk utility maintenance yesterday (from the Repair partitioin), cleaning permissions & verifying / repairing the disk...
somehow give me some suggestions, the cache, the memory...?
should I zap the P-RAM,or whatever that step is where you restart holding COMAND-OPTION-P-R ??
help!
wOk, there are a few things I would try.
1. Download this free application from the app store called iBoostUp Click Here. Once you do that launch the application you should run the first four things (The quick clean, Disk optimizer, Network optimizer, and memory booster).
2. If it is still slow launch Disk Utility, then select you computer's hardrive and press verify disk (Not disk permissions). When that is finished press repir disk.
3. Yes, if it is still slow now zap the P-ram. When you hear the startup chime at startup hold down command+option+R+P, then count, stop this process after you have heard 3 startup chimes.
4. If it still is like this, consider buying the premium version of iBoostUp Click Here. Now you can run all of the tests and processes in the application.
5. Now is the time to bring your computer to Apple (Make an appointment). -
Double Buffer program is slowing down, help.
Hello, I have a small Dancing Lines program like an old Windows screensaver program and it appears to slow down after about 30 seconds to a minute. I "clear" my buffer by copying a screen sized black symbol to the buffer. If anyone has any ideas about how to make this more efficient and most importantly stop the slow down, please let me know, thanks.

Basically you have to use the graphics.clear() function to erase any clip where you are using the drawing API. Drawing lots of vectors can be very costly performance-wise so you always want to clear your graphics when you are finished. Drawing over the vectors with a rectangle has no effect except to increase the load even more. However when dealing with bitmap objects you can safely draw as much as you want for as long as you wish with no performance hit. Thats why what you were trying to do with that "clearBuffer" was not doing anything. Also, setting the counter to 51 when it got to 250 was doing nothing whatsoever. Not sure what that was for. The code should work fine now. -
MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Experiencing Significant Slow Down After Boot Camp Installation
Okay, so today, after installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp Assistant, I experienced significant performance slow down (fans going at full blast, applications opening after extended periods of time, keystrokes not being registered) when I returned to my OS X partition/second hard drive. I have dual hard drives, one of them being a Samsung 256 GB SSD with OS X Mavericks and the other being my original 500 GB HDD, divided into a 250 GB OS X Mavericks partition and a 250 GB Windows partition. I have the SSD set as my startup disk and I have it located in the main HDD bay. I moved the old HDD into a caddy and placed it where the optical drive normally should be.
After multiple failed attempts to install Windows via USB and Bootcamp Assistant, I decided to reinstall my optical drive and use a Windows installation disk. This attempt proved successful, and I was able to install Windows 7 onto the 250 GB partition I had created for it on the 500 GB HDD. After completing basic setup of Windows, I removed the optical disk drive and reinstalled the SSD and the HDD into their original spots (SSD in the main HDD bay, HDD in the caddy where the optical drive normally is).
After completing this tedious process, I booted my Mac back up using the SSD. However, I noticed something was wrong when the login screen, apps, and nearly everything else on my desktop had slowed to crawl. I decided to check my Activity Monitor to see what the problem might be. Activity Monitor told me that the task "kernel_task" was taking up anywhere from 200-600% of my CPU, which explained the slowdown in performance. I looked around to see if there were others with the same problem as me, and I found that Spotlight Indexing might be an issue, with a potential remedy being move my Bootcamp Partition into the Privacy section of Spotlight under System Preferences. After doing that, I experienced no increase in performance and everything was still going very slowly.
The next step I took was to see if booting into Safe Mode would help the issue. After booting into Safe Mode on my SSD, I noticed that things were back to their normal speeds, with applications opening at the speed they should be and keystrokes being registered instantaneously. However, the fans were still going and had not shut off once booting into Safe Mode. In addition, I checked Activity Monitor and the "kernel_task" in question was no longer taking up massive amounts of the CPU.
At this point, I don't know what to do and I need help in restoring my Mac to original speeds. I may end up deleting my Boot Camp partition as a last measure if all else fails, seeing as I installed Windows in the first place for running a few programs and games that I can live without. However, I'd prefer to not have things come to that and fix things before deleting the Boot Camp Partition. I've heard that if everything runs normally in Safe Mode, then the issue is third-party software. Is this true?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am writing this from the MacBook in question in Safe Mode because it's essentially useless in normal SSD operation.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 merely by the seeming 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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
11. 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.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: 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.

Textmode/BIOS boot-up slowed down 15~20x after clean Win 7 Installation
Hi there,
My company received a S10-2 (WinXP Home OEM) as a gift after purchasing an IBM x3650 server.
As my company is moving towards Win 7, the following was performed in sequence:
1) Deletion of all partition (including the quick boot, recovery and WinXP partition)
2) Clean installation of Win 7 Pro
3) Office Pro 2k3, NetOp Guest
4) Win 7 Patches from my company's WSUS server
5) Replaced 1GB Ram to 2GB (DDR2 3500 667Mhz, 1.8v)
6) latest S10-2 bios (rev 22)
7) Win 7 driver: NIC and Intel GMA950
Textmode boot-up slowed down considerably after step 3) - even the underscore ("_") blinks 10-20 times slower. Generally it takes 15 minutes to boot into GUI of Win 7.
Despite the slow boot-up, speed/performance of S10-2 is acceptable once booted into GUI of Win 7. Windows Experience Index of HDD, RAM and CPU averages at 3~4 with Graphics lowest at 2.2.
I have tried the following but with no avail:
1) Put back the 1GB RAM
2) Reseated the following: HDD, RAM and WiFi
3) Update BIOS to rev 22 (Step 6)
4) Update Windows Drivers (Step 7)
I also came across the following blog entry that suggests to disable "Quick Boot" which I will try tomorrow (English description at the end):
http://crashsource.de/114-acer-insydeh2o-bios-kaltstart-friert-bootvorgang-ein/
Kindly please advise what can be done before I send it back to Lenovo.
Any help and suggestion is greatly appreciated ;-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.Dear all,
The issue seems to be resolved after installing the latest storage matrix driver from Intel. The boot time drop from 15minutes to approx 40 seconds.
It appears that the EFI BIOSes is very sensitive even to the drivers used by Windows?

My Hard Drive Won't Slow Down! please help
Hi everyone,
I just got my B&W powermac up and running again after some upgrades: a radeon 7000, 500 Mhz Sonnet G4, 1gig of RAM... Well all of a sudden my hard drive just spun all the way up and will not slow down no matter what. I went to system preferences and checked "put discs to sleep when possible" - Nothing. I ran Onyx and cleared all my caches and what not - Nothing. I have restarted, reset my PRAM, pressed the CUDA button... I'm out of ideas. And my hard drive is raging like it is booting up or something so I don't know what to think. Please help me slow my hard drive down. It is a WD Caviar 40G, and I am running OS 10.3.9 and it is totally up to date. Thanks so much for any suggestions!
-KurtI don't think it's a ribbon issue. I checked it out. As for the jumpers, I'm not really sure exactly what to look for. I have only messed with jumpers one time and I was following a chart to set up a slave drive on a Dell and it was a long time ago... On My B&W, what exactly would I looking for if it was a jumper problem?
Thanks again, in advance!

Browser slow down in Boot Camp.
Hi All the Apple User,
I'm running a Window XP SP3 in Boot Camp 2.1, recently my web browser IE6 and Safari 3.2 going
slow down, seem to be very heavy to open a web page, often hanging on 20% or 80% at the
progress bar, got to be click the reload button again and again, can't open smoothly.
I have been try reinstall the IE and Safari, erase the caches and cookies, but still wont help !
However that didn't effect the download speed and 3D game playing,
it such sick on opening a web page ... ...?
So does anyone can figure out that ?
Thanks in advance for your answer !
BR
BenNovelloAs was said in your other threads, you'll be more likely to get help, if help is possible, on a web site dedicated to support for Windows since your problem is really a Windows issue, not a Mac one. When you have your system booted via Boot Camp, you're running a Windows system, not a Mac, so assistance will be more likely if you ask on a Windows-oriented web site.
Good luck. -

My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

Hi
Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
Cheers. Don
No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money. -
Need some help with Slow Downs in Java3D and Servlets
Hi,
I realize that there is a separate forum for Java 3D, but I posted there, and did not get any response. This is kinda the crux of my program, so I would like to invite anybody on this forum with knowledge of Java 3D and servlets to give it a stab. Between this post and that one, there are TWENTY duke dollars up for grabs.
Thanks.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603198Let me have an educated guess.
You calculated the time elapsed before sending in a server request - and at that point you have you updated timeLastStateChange yet, which means by the time of the next calculation of time elapsed this apparent delay is not counted in, hence the slow down in animation rate.
Hope this helps~

Can anyone tell me how to slow down a commercial track in Garage band 10.00 I was able to do this in the earlier version of Garage Band quite easily and it is a good tool for being able to teach new dances, but I find I am unable to do it in the new version, which has just been updated. I would be grateful for any help.
Just found it.
Select your track with song imported from iTunes, open the Track Editor window, and in the head of the track editor and press the "Flex" marker. Make sure "Enable Flex" is set,
Then change the tempo of your project. -
Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.
Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing! -

ThanksIf a reboot is clearing some of the problem, you ought to check the capacity and use of your hard disk. How full is this? Anything less than about 20% space may begin to slow things down.
As for the Flash plugin, these do tend to slow Macs down with some sites. You might want to try Click to Flash to restrict the use. And as for CPU use, I saw 120% on a friend's MacBook Pro a couple of days back: too many Facebook games running at the same time. -
