Conky affects video performance while refreshig itself?

Hi,
today I've installed conky and configured it to run with some basic configuration fond here http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html.
Happy with new fancy stuff installed on my system I've ran VLC to watch some movie. Unfortunately it came out that conky - while refreshing itself - affects video performance really badly. So badly that some stuttering on VLC is visible. In other words playback is no more smooth.
But just to have a proof I checked glxgears. Having conky turned on I had something like 40 FPS less (lack of smooth animation every time conky was refreshing its status was also easy to notice).
So - is just mine configuration broken or it's conky's fault? I don't believe that no one noticed this problem before.
I have nVidia Quadro NVS 140M and using nvidia-304xx drivers.

that shouldn't happen, unless maybe if you ran it on really slow system with no gfx acceleration whatsoever.
Or if you were running some heavy script every time conky refreshes.
It might be a good idea to post the actual config you're using..

What most affects Flash performance?

What components, hardware and software, affect Flash
performance the most?
I believe that video cards have no bearing, but have
recently come into a debate over the RAM vs processor.
Also, on Windows XP, any tricks to bring up performance
speed?
Thanks in advance,
michael

Do you mean in reference to authoring or the player?

Make the relationship in between multiple table storage's tables will affect the performance

Hi,
i'm going to develop business application,the product ID needs to be generic one and it should automatically generate the unique id(like identity in sql ) but,it has to be generate in formatted way
for example the ID would be "cityCode+areaCode+uniqueNumber" . here, cityCode and areaCode are going to maintain in separate table. while generate the product id, going to find the cityCode table and AreaCode table the generate unique
number by merge all the respective information.
1) while doing all this will affect the performance Azure table storage performance and web application ?
2) making multiple relationship among multi-Table Storage will decrease the performance ?.

Hello,
When you say tables, are referring to Azure Storage Tables or Relational Databases?
Please note Windows Azure tables do not function in the same manner as tables in a relational database since they do not make use of relationships or have schemas.
And if you are referring to relational databases, the latency in performance would depend on the logic used to generate the unique ID.
You should be able to use the logic in an On-Prem SQL database and check for the latency.

I intend to buy new mac pro, is it better to wait for the new OS X mountain, or can buy it and we can update it without affecting its performance?

I intended to buy new mac pro, is it better to wait for new OS X moutain or can buy it now and update it later as it will not affect its performance???

If you can wait about a 3 months after 10.8 is released this summer and upon new hardware you should be in excellent shape to have not only a fastest latest machine, but a OS X version that all the bugs have been worked out. Plus the three free months of Apple hand holding while they figure out what they did wrong with the new OS version.
If you need a new machine now you'll have to get what you need obviously, but 10.8 should run on it just fine. However know that Apple tweaks things with more currently sellling hardware first, then later gets to the previous released models.
It's been my guestimation that your good for about two year old hardware with very recent OS X release, three years or older hardware you may want to reconsider sticking with the previous OS X version as your hardware is getting dated and likely has only a year left to go anyway (4 year average), so why bother mucking it up, slowing it down and having to buy all new/updated software and third party hardware because they won't make drivers for your new OS version?

Recent ML upgrade leads to widespread video performance issues.

Hello,
I recently took the leap to Mountain Lion and I'm starting to regret my decision. I have noticed a real drop off in video performance across the entire system.
Firstly, I came across a well documented issue with Final Cut Pro 7 video playback in the canvas. Playback is almost unusable due to introduced artifacts and tearing. However the video performance issues seem more wide spread than "unsupported software". I notice extremely rough image switching when I switch between workspaces, particularly on the second monitor. Also, when the screen saver kicks in and it swaps images, the same very klunky image swap is noticed on the second monitor. Also when the Reading List display is toggled in Safari, the remaining window slide left or right is not smooth at all, irrespective of what monitor it is on. There are other Safari rendering issues too, involving flickers, and other general video issues.
My machine is a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 6 core, 3.3GHz with 24GB of RAM and a 5870 graphics card. None of these issues were present in Lion.
I was wondering whether anyone else had noticed similar issues and if so, what if anything can be done about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Scott

This problem is not restricted to Leopard, 10.4.10 with QuickTime 7.3 is affected too. 10.4.11 doesn't show any improvements either. Yes, we need a fix for this... but one that solves this problem on Tiger as well, please.

K8TNEO2-F V2.0 sub-par video performance

K8TNEO2-F V2.0
I am wondering if anyone has this board and has any experience with less than stellar video performance ? Reason I am asking is I have been all through the bios while attempting to improve the video performance.
What has prompted this is that I had all the same components in another box with an intel setup . Processor was a prescott 3.4 gig with one meg cache, 2 gigs of dual channel pc 3200 ram, 2 74 gig raptors 16 meg cache in raid 0, soundblaster audigy 2,and a x1950 pro agp with 512 megs of ddr 3. The only things that are different in the new box is the mobo (K8TNEO2-F V2.0) and an opteron 175 dual core. OS install and all the driver installs went flawless so I am not sure whats going on . I have the latest drivers from MSI site along with the latest vid card drivers .
The same games that I had previously installed with the intel system are performing at or near 20 % less in regards to FPS. Every thing else is improved significantly with the new mobo and processor.
I am open to any suggestions or bios settings that may correct this problem.
thanks
Wrath

Thanks mate, Im gonna blame it on being so late
Thanks everyone as I have figured it out being directly related to video card drivers *amn ATI Grrr. I reverted to an earlier driver I had stored on one of my network backup drives . Installed it , tweeked the card some (slight OC, enabled fast read and write) changed aperture in bios to 512 . Rebooted and fired up some of my favorite games and they are back to where they use to be and beyond . Im one happy camper as the upgrade was not in vain after all . Thanks again for the responses here and looks like I have found a new home

Satellite P100 PSPAD: Unable to update BIOS 3.8 and poor video performance

Hello,
I have absolute shoddy video performance on my machine as well as the fan on/off issues.
To add to my frustrations the WinPhlash programme included in BIOS version 3.8 dumps out when trying to flash giving a PHLASHNT.SYS unable to load message with various error codes associated with it (codes 5 and 147 depending on if I run the exe as it is extracted from the ZIP, or run the extracted files independantly).
I have checked all permissionings on the folder and I definately have full control - but still a generic "check your accounts, if you have no permissions please log in again!" message is displayed.
any help with my BIOS issue would be apreciated.
[Edited by: admin on 06-Jul-2007 11:10]

Hi,
I have had the same error message on P100 PSPADE and furthermore the laptop was no longer under control, neither by keyboard or by menu impossible to switch off. I have had to unplug and to remove the battery. Then impossible to switch on.
According to the local ASP the motherboard is KO (??) and the safest way to upgrade the bios was to boot from an USB floppy in DOS mode?
Sounds strange but be careful.

My Ipod video switch on by itself

My Ipod video switch on by itself. Even if its locked, it turns on. It can be after 2hours or it can be after one day, it's never the same. So, when it's time for me to use it the battery is dead because it played for hours unknowingly.

Id check the alarms, even if you didn't set them it could have happend accidently.

How can we improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table.

Hi All,
Can any bosy suggest me the right way to improve the performance while fetching data from RESB table. Below is the select statement.
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
    INTO (itab-aufnr, itab-pposnr, itab-roms1, itab-roanz)
    FROM resb
    WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
    AND   ablad = itab-sposnr+2.
Here I am using 'KDAUF' & 'ABLAD' in condition. Can we use secondary index for improving the performance in this case.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hi ,
Declare intenal table with only those four fields.
and try the beloe code....
SELECT aufnr posnr roms1 roanz
INTO table itab
FROM resb
WHERE kdauf = p_vbeln
AND ablad = itab-sposnr+2.
yes, you can also use secondary index for improving the performance in this case.

Anand .

Regarding video performance.

Hi,
I bought a MSI P7N SLI Platinum 750i chipset based motherboard Sn. 010B0807485693. After 8 months the board would not post, i.e. no display on the monitor even though the Harddisk LED and the CPU fans would run.
Handed over the motherboard to Microport, they sent it to Smartlink Network Systems Limited RMA Center N.R. Road Bangalore, I had to call up about 25 times to Smartlink and they took one month to give a replacement with the MSI P7N SLI Sn. 601-7380-010B0803214616. Got it on 18/9/2009.
The motherboard which I got from Smartlink is much older, as can be seen from the serial numbers. The video quality, i.e. clarity, color as well as frame rates are very bad compared to the original motherboard that I had.
I now know that the original motherboard never had a problem, only the technician at the Microport, Bangalore shop had delibrately not plugged in the power cord for the 9600 gt graphics card and unnecessarily made me RMA my motherboard.
I want to know if the older boards (of the same model i.e. MSI P7N SLI 750i platinum) used a different technology than the new motherboards have?
Is there a way to improve the video performance on my computer with this older motherboard.
Thanks.

All I can say about it is that, as far as I know, the P7N you got back, shouldnt be slower then the one you send in, they should be identical in setup/build.
I have the P6N platinum and the only difference between your and my board is that yours is able to run 45nm C2Q and has 2, I believe, PCIe 2.0 slots, where as I have 2 PCIe 1.1 slots.
But that doesnt make mine a slow board either, with current setup, see my sig, I have 0 issues or performance problems.
If you can, first try different videodrivers, be sure to delete old ones with drivercleaner or such.
If that doesnt work, might try a fresh install on seperate disk/partition and see if that helps.
But if performance still is bad, I would take it back, in my opinion you should not get an older/slower board back if you rma your new one.

Flash video performance poor in Firefox 3 and other newer Gecko-based browsers; fails to detect mouse movement in full-s

Regardless of configuration, I have found Flash video
performance on Firefox 3 to be severely sub-par. Numerous visual
lags occur throughout a typical Youtube video as it cannot seem to
manage to maintain a steady frame rate. When in full-screen, mouse
movement is not detected, forcing me to click in a full-screen
Vimeo video in order to display its controls when I should have
only needed to move the mouse. I was informed that the technical
explanation for this is that Flash isn't triggering MouseEvents
other than MouseEVENT.CLICK.
In my tests, this behavior also occurred in Flashplayers 9
and 10 as well as with recent versions of other browsers that also
use the Gecko rendering engine, namely Camino, Flock and Songbird,
but not in Firefox 2. I was told by a Mozilla employee that this
issue can only be solved by Adobe.
This has forced me to use the Safari browser as my only
available work-around. I implore that these issues get resolved as
quickly as possible.

guys, im exactly experience the same issue here.. any
solution guys? tks in advantage..

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails. What is wrong with it?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.

My "Saved-for-iPod" mp4 video stops, while audio continues...

This has recently happened both with saving iMovie HD 6.0.4 projects as mp4s, and for DVD. 1) In iMovie, I imported a .mov I made in iPhoto (slideshow with jpegs & added music). Just that one file. I then saved it for iPod. I played it in iTunes, and the first minute is fine, but then the video "freezes" while the audio continues. Same thing happened when I synched it to my iPod. 2) In iMovie, I imported 5 avi files and added dissolve transitions. Sent to iDVD 6.0.4 and made a DVD. Same thing. The video image freezes at some point, and audio continues. I previously made DVDs successfully, by importing avi files to iMovie HD 6.0.2 & adding transitions. I can't figure out what could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I have the iPod Touch 32GB and my video podcasts do the same thing. The video portion just freezes randomly but the audio continues on. This happens with a variety of video podcasts on my Touch. Very annoying and unacceptable for unit in this price range. I would love to see a solution to this problem!

Will my graphics card affect the performance of Flash Professional on my computer?

Hello everyone,
I want to know if the graphics card in a computer affects the performance of Flash Professional. Or if I am going to experience any issues with computer such as lag or errors. I want to use a computer that has an hd 4600 graphics card with and i5 dual core processor. Will this be more than enough or should I opt for a i5 quadcore with an intel iris?

Hi LaangDao,
These are the system requirements for Flash Professional

Slow performance while charging MacBook Pro 2011

What I'm experiencing currently is a massive drop in performance while the laptop is plugged in and charging. Running anything CPU intensive like music production software or gaming causes massive spikes within 5 minutes of doing a task, and eventually leads the application to a pretty non-responsive state.
As soon as the light on the MagSafe goes green to indicate a complete charge, everything is fine. Same also applies to me unplugging the MagSafe and switching to battery. What was spiking the CPU to 300% is now sitting back at 15%.
I have tried multiple different power supplies, and also an SMC reset, though I don't think that is actually working. I remember in the past after doing an SMC reset, the laptop would cycle through a restart or do something to indicate the job is done, where as now it just straight up boots like nothing happened.
Any ideas what may be causing this?
OS X 10.9.4 / MacBookPro8,2 (Early 2011)

Try the SMC and PRAM resets again:

Run an Apple Hardware Test. Perhaps that will give a clue.
