CD read at 2.5 MB/sec, too slow?

Hello!
In the 2 weeks I've had my MacBook Pro (15", 2.2 Core 2 Duo, 10.5.2) i've noticed that CDs seem to read fairly slowly. THat is, more slowly than my old 15", 1.67 Ghz PowerBook G4. So, I decided to test that.
I took a CD, and used disk utility to rip the CD to a "DVD/CD master" image. I did this on both my MBP and my PB. With nothing else running, the MBP managed about 2.5 MB/sec import speed (according to Activity Monitor), while my PowerBOok managed 4-5 MB/sec. Why is this? Supposedly, the MBP drive is supposed to be faster, and while the CD drives are on the same speed ATA bus, the Hard drive in the MBP is much faster.
Finally, i'll mention that there's an odd "clack" type noise when the CD is loaded, as if it's clamping down on the disc quite hard... the Powerbook does the same thing, but not so loudly. The drive otherwise works just fine, but it bothers me anyway...

I'm also getting a 2.5mb/s read of my DVDs, in both windows and OS X. It's ridiculous, takes about 30 minutes to install one app from a disc.
I'm running the HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA S10N in my 15" MBP 2.4ghz

  • DAQmx+6009: Reading the current counter value is too slow

    I have a thread that runs a software loop that I need to run as fast as possible. One of the things I need to do is poll the current counter value from my 6009, and branch if it's changed from the last time I read it. Over 90% of the time spent in my 1.2ms loop is doing this read. My goal is to get the loop under 50us.
    What I really need here is an accurate timestamp (20us or better) for every time the counter changes (up to 1kHz). When I detect a change, I currently get the timestamp by calling QueryPerformanceCounter().
    Here's how I create the task:
        DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle) );
        DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxCreateCICountEdgesChan( taskHandle, line, "", DAQmx_Val_Falling, 0, DAQmx_Val_CountUp ) );
        DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle) );
    And here's the line of code that goes so slow in my loop:
        DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxReadCounterScalarU32( taskHandle, 10.0, &count, NULL ) );

    I updated a robot control from a Mac Powerbook with a PCI expansion chasis running Mac OS9, Labview 5 and DAQ to a Mac Mini (intell) with 6009 and 6501 USB cards  running Mac OSX, Labview 8.5, and DAQmx-base.  I have connected wheel encoders (pule train and direction) to a 6009 and a 6501.  It all seems to work, except the tuning of velocity control loops is not as good as before, indicating some delays.  The loops run every 100msec (10Hz update) so I expected a synchronisation problem rather than latency.  I did some measurements today and found that reading the 2 counters and the 2 digital inputs takes over 20msec.
     I get better performance from VISA with a serial to USB converter.  I have a program reading 25byte packets every 20msec.  Although I did run into the USB latency problem with another serial application.  I have a serial device that requires a response t changing CTS (clear to send) in less than 1.2msec, and VISA was taking 1.5msec.
    On the same machine I am reading 1024 samples from an analog input every 100msec with out any timing issues - (once I got the incredibly slow start and stop vis outside the loop - they take about 200msec each.  Taking the start and stop vis outside the loop reduced my loop time from 450msec (approx) to 100msec.  The only problem is that to do this I have to run in continuous mode and can't  use an external trigger (it has to restart on every trigger, so the start and stop vis have to be in the loop).
    So it appears that I have updated my technology by 10 years only to find that USB is incredibly slow - something that is not in any of the NI doccumentation that I can find.  Does NI have any documentation on what to expect in terms of performance from these USB devices and any suggestions on how to get better performance, apart from buying more expensive hardware?
    Thanks 

  • "Full Screen Mode" in Adobe Reader XI for Windows 8 loads way too slow!

    I recently got a new laptop with Windows 8, after having used Windows Vista for years.  I installed Adobe Reader XI for my new computer.  Before, I used Adobe Reader X on Vista.  I used Adobe Reader "Full Screen Mode" to read the nice-looking Bible chapters I created with internet audio from Biblegateway.com.  In Vista, the "Full Screen Mode" appeared quickly, before the audio fully started, so I could see the text in time for the reading. 
    However, with Windows 8, "Full Screen Mode" takes around 5-10 seconds to appear at all, and a black screen is present throughout the wait.  It does the same thing when I hit "escape" to exit "Full Screen Mode" as well.  I even uninstalled Adobe Reader XI from my new laptop, and tried using Adobe Reader X, even though it is not recommened by Adobe to do that on Windows 8, in order to test the speed of "Full Screen Mode" there.  Adobe Reader X had the same problem!  I do not know if this can be fixed, but I am pretty unhappy about it!  I enjoyed the "Full Screen Mode" with my PDF chapters and the online bible audio!  Finding that function for the first time with Adobe Reader X was a delight for me!  It gave the reading a theater feel!
    Has anyone else here had a similiar problem with "Full Screen Mode" loading way too slow on Windows 8?  I am very disappointed!  If this cannot be fixed by a user, is there a place to complain to Adobe and make a recommendation for software improvement?  Thank you!

  • Reader X crashes after 30 secs with Protected mode enabled

    Having just deployed Reader X to over 100 PC's via group policy I'm a little dishartened to find that Reader X crashes after 30 secs of being open when protected mode is enabled.
    Current setup is as followed:-
    Clients are XP SP3, Vista SP2 & Win7 (all crash)
    Server 2003 R2 domain
    Reader X deployed via MSI using GPO with a transform created using the Reader X customization wizard (only set to disable updates as I'll push these out via GPO also when available).
    The problem occurs with standard domain users (doesn't happen if you use an admin account to login and run Reader X), once you disable the setting for "enable Protected mode at start up" and restart Reader X it doesn't crash. I've been reading also that the protected mode creats a sandbox environment that some AV products are currently having issues with, so I've also tested by removing my AV on a test client rebooting and running Reader X with protected mode enabled, the Pc will still crash, so that rules out my AV product.
    After each crash the client logs an event in the application log
    Event ID: 1000
    Aource Application error
    Description:
    Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 10.0.0.396, time stamp 0x4cc5e97b, faulting module WININET.dll, version 8.0.6001.18999, time stamp 0x4ccfa98f, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0002387b, process id 0xd54, application start time 0x01cbc2ec89ab4cba.
    Anyone any ideas on why this happens?

    I am seeing the same problem on Vista SP2 32-bit.  I enabled the Protect Mode log and see a bunch of errors relating to registry entries.  I am running Adobe Reader X 10.0.1 as a standard privilege user. The problem has been intermittent.  Repeated attempts to open the same PDF will result in Adobe Reader X failing after 45 seconds, then the next attempt will work fine.  I have had situations where an Adobe Reader X instance has been open for hours but a new instance crashed.  I have not been able to identify any trigger that might explain the difference in behavior.  The problem has gone away since disabling Protect Mode.

  • Adobe reader too slow and "not responding," why?

    I downloaded adobe reader XI (11.0.10) for my touchscreen laptop with Windows 8.1 but when reading PDFs it's scrolls too slow, gets stuck when highlighting or performing other commands, and then I normally get "not responding."
    It's really slowing down my productivity!
    Would appreciate your help please. Thanks

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that does not resolve the problem, please tell us your operating system.

    From docs (Reference, Statistics Descriptions)   :
    physical read IO requests : Number of read requests for application activity (mainly buffer cache and direct load operation) which read one or more database blocks per request. This is a subset of "physical read total IO requests" statistic.

  • Bumblebee performance is too slow

    Hi everyone,
    This is my second post in this forum and it has been only 2 days that I met Arch. Before, I was using Ubuntu for 3 years, but due to low performance in my PC, unfortunately, I decided to say good bye which was hard to say.
    Now, I am trying to have the same setup as my previous laptop and Bumblebee was one of them. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee.
    It seems that bumblebee is installed and working, however, the FPS is too slow:
    $ optirun glxspheres64 -info
    Polygons in scene: 62464
    Visual ID of window: 0x20
    Context is Direct
    OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GT 520MX/PCIe/SSE2
    0.023848 frames/sec - 0.021114 Mpixels/sec
    Without optirun I get:
    $ glxspheres64 -info
    Polygons in scene: 62464
    Visual ID of window: 0x20
    Context is Direct
    OpenGL Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile
    0.033237 frames/sec - 0.029426 Mpixels/sec
    0.029968 frames/sec - 0.026533 Mpixels/sec
    This is impossible as I was getting very good results before.
    I am wondering if I did something wrong, or missed anything.
    Just for information, system specs:
    Intel i7 2670QM 2.2 GHZ
    4 GB RAM
    1 GB GeForce GT 520MX
    512 MB Intel Graphics
    I played 0ad with and without optirun and the performance was good in both of them, but not sure if it switches the video cards itself.
    I also have bbswitch installed.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,
    Can you please explain in a little more detail the scenario you testing? Are you comparing a SQL Database in Europe against a SQL Database in India? Or a SQL Database with a local, on-premise SQL Server installation?
    In case of the first scenario, the roundtrip latency for the connection to the datacenter might play a role. 
    If you are comparing to a local installation, please note that you might be running against completely different hardware specifications and without network delay, resulting in very different results.
    In both cases you can use the below blog post to assess the resource utilization of the SQL Database during the operation:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/09/11/azure-sql-database-introduces-new-near-real-time-performance-metrics/
    If the DB utilizes up to 100% you might have to consider to upgrade to a higher performance level to achieve the throughput you are looking for.
    Thanks,

    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:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. 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.
    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.

    Hi i use a macbook pro 17" 2.66ghz intel core i7 with 8gb ram & a 500gb@7200rpm internal drive i get this message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare)  (-10001) when i am using logic 9 wiyh just a 5 vsts loaded 2 of them being esx24's . i used to not get this warning earlier in the same or even heavily loaded projects.
    When i press play the beachball appears for a minute or so then the message.
    Even when i open up a new project a beachball appears for about 30-40 secs and then the project opens up
    i have even tried opening up the projects w/o any vst's loaded (i have disabled them from audio units manager)
    Initially i thought it was a hard drive problem so apple had it replaced for me but i am still encountering the same problem.
    have even tried disabling the sudden motion sensor from terminal no luck there too
    tried reloading osx 10.6.7 no luck there too
    what do i do

    Do you have 10% to 15% free space available?

  • TCP-IP ICOM is too slow?

    Hello everybody,
    I am new to DasyLab (I have good experience with labview though) and am trying to build up a TCP-IP Connection between a PLC and DasyLab10 using the ICOM module . So far I managed to build up a connection and send measured data to dasylab. There it gets decoded correctly and it even displays correctly after some fine-tuning in the options of that ICOM module. But the problem is, the ICOM module works too slow for my TCP-Server.
    I have two channels so far and I do send pakets with 2 floats in it every millisecond. No delimiter, no string, nothing else just 8 bytes. So its around 8kB/s. I had different delimiter in it, but some people stated out, that this could slow down the interpretation process.
    I tinkered around with packet-size on Dasylab as well as sending more then 2 floats per TCP-packet with no effect. The TCP-connection gets shut down(the server does it, because of an error) within some seconds after the buffer of DasyLab filled up.
    I got it working so far for a sample-rate of 1kHz and the packet-size of 1 with maximum CPU-Load on one core (With the "One Measurement per"-option: Gathermode), but only when the line-plotter is minimized. Then it behaves almost as intended. When I increase the packet-size within the ICOM module, than its gets laggy again, but the CPU-Load drops significantly. It seems to process the data considerably slower then with a packet-size of 1. It takes the ICOM Module between 2-10 seconds to process 1 sec of data depending on packet-size with higher packet-size resulting in a slower process. IThe global data-rate and packet-size does not seem to have any influence on that laggyness.
    The goal is actually a sample-rate of 2,5kHz with 25channels, which would be around 250kB/s on a direct crossover FastEthernet connection. It should be possible to save all the data to hdd as well as some sort of live view of the data like a line plotter. It would be okay if the plotter only refreshes every 10th second as long as it shows the data live(with no lag, correct timestamp) and completely(every data-point sent by the server is in there, no duplicates).
    The wiring diagram so far only includes one ICOM module plus a digital instrument and a line plotter. I have attached it to this message.
    Is my task really impossible with DasyLab? Do I need a faster PC? It has got a Core 2 Duo 2Ghz CPU. I feel like I am missing something important to get this up and running.
    Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
    Have a nice day

    Phillip,
    The module is simply not designed for high speed data. You have tried all of the settings... it suggests that DASYLab cannot keep up with the data stream even if you tell it that it's coming in at a rapid rate and to use a larger block.
    The only other option is to tackle writing a driver, or having someone write a driver for you. We have two ways to do that - DASYLab 13 Full version has the Script module, or you can purchased the Extension toolkit to write a module using C.

  • Lightroom 2.4 Is Too Slow To Use As A Professional Product

    Hello -
    I would like to know how to get Lightroom to respond in less than 4-8 seconds for almost any task.
    From returning to Grid mode (4.5 seconds) to adjusting a routine crop and angle (5-7 seconds per move, 60-90 seconds total) to simply shift-selecting three to fifty photos (4-9 seconds) no matter what I do in Lightroom, it is worse that Photoshop 1.0 on a Mac Plus. Really.
    Returning to Lightroom from another app - 7 seconds.
    Getting the menus to drop down - 4 seconds.
    My lightroom settings:
    standard preview size: 1680
    Quality: High
    Discard 1:1: Never
    write changes to XMP: off
    Catalog: 127 mb on F drive (24 gig free)
    Catalog: 13.5k photos, 95 gig on F drive
    Cache: 6 gig on F drive
    NVIDIA settings: performance over quality
    My computer:
    HP 8730 elitebook
    4 gig ram
    XP Pro, SP2
    Proc: Core 2 Duo T9400, 2666 MHz (10 x 267)
    DirectX    4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
    Chipset: Cantiga PM45
    Video: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M  (1024 MB)
    (2x) 250 gig 7200 rmp HD
    Before anyone says to export to a new catalog and re-import, etc, use a smaller catalog, etc, be advised that I have done all of that. I have imported only 250 images to a new catalog, on a newly installed OS, with Lightroom as the ONLY application. Still it acts this sluggish.
    I have scoured the boards for solutions, and having tried all the varied fixes to no avail, I really quite strongly feel that a person should not EVER be in the position or running some of the most powerful available hardware and STILL have to wait interminable seconds for Lightroom to respond.
    This software, as it stands now on the PC platform (unless I am missing something quite obvous) is absolutely unusable in its present state.
    Can someone from Adobe or a board guru please respond in kind to my request for help?

    It really doesn't matter that the drive is 7200 or 10k rpm if ALL items reside on the same drive. The MacPro has four bays. One drive for system and catalog, second for cache, third for photos=FAST.
    Wow, I'm glad you repeated that, and used capitalized text so that I would be sure to understand.
    Clearly, the benchmarks I have off of the various evolutions of my last 3, $10k computers must be in error. (single system disk, RAID-0 system disk, 10k RPM system disk, RAID-0 3x -10K rpm system disks, multiple scratch volumes on different drives, singular scratch volumes on RAIDed drives, tested via benchmark programs and application specific batch tests, etc.etc.)
    More importantly as an issue of forum protocol, you didn't actually read my post.

    I partition about 10% of the outside of a drive as separate and put the information I need to get to most quickly which tends to be the system folder then scratch disk in a another separate partition and then I leave the rest on that drive as gobs of 'B' space for media and other crap files, reserving the first 10%-30% of the outside of a different drive (or RAID-0 sets) for my files and Lightroom catalogs.
    I'm throwing 370 mb/sec between two individual sets of 4 drive RAID-0 sets.  Single 7200rpm drives sling about 80 mb/sec.  My drive arrangement isn't the reason Lightroom IS TOO SLOW TO USE AS A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT.
    Also, since I referenced and linked the former software engineer turned photo FREAK in my post, whose blog I started reading last year corroborating the decisions I've made in my previous system setups with immaculate documentation and testing procedure your response even more seems like the entire reason I rarely bother posting in community forums.  You seem to be here to spout, not to contribute and learn.
    Take a look at all of the info contained here: (I've already read it, all of it, and more)

    and if you still think I'm wrong, lets have an informed debate about it.  Really.
    Otherwise, lets please keep this topic moving forward with the issues Adobe needs to address next to make Lightroom a better product for professional photographers, and specifically, help out ellsworth999 who started this topic, who seems to have a big helping of problems on his plate. I can't speak to him directly of his problems since I'm not using the Windows version of the software.

  • My Dual 1.8 G5 too slow on color performances

    I send my FCP project to color but unfortunately my dual 1.8 with 3.5 ram, nvidia 6600 open gl won't perform at its best. I know for color application XT1900 is recommended but please the base recommended specs showed that i did have the baseline requirements.
    Any idea how to get my dual 1.8 go a little bit faster. adding more ram or what? Tried to put color FX into 20 secs clip takes 30 to 1 mins. Wow its way too slow though. Try to play the clip also takes more secs to mins to runs. I'm wondering why this happen and it should can go just a bit faster. Any help/advice much appreciated

    Oh ya i knew it. I owned this PMG5 since it first released and planning to buy the best and good one but not affordable. I love this machine but future technology is highly in demand. I just updated the graphic card from its original to the latest i have and pretty much can go to started the color app but way to far to execute a full project. Eager to buy the Mac Pro but have wait though. huh huh!
    Runs benchmark for nvidia GeFOrce 6600 and scored at 5326 - 400FPS. Not that i know, just did some test and open few applications simultoneously with color but got frustrated because its hang for a mins to runs on every apps.
    Thank you for your opinion and obviously my machine is going to obsolete in the near future. It can go for small graphic applications and final cut pro but FCP seems to slow either, render clips for 1 - 2 mins with transitions and fx would go for 30 mins to 40 mins. Harghhhh! i must get the new one!
