DC7700 VPRO Slow Imaging Fix

Morning All,
If you have Patrick Farrell's initrd witch works with the HP DC7700
machines and they are painfully slow to image or even load the RAM disk
then the fix is below. I think the slowness is due to the VPRO technology.
Anyway, just flash your BIOS to a later version. I used v2.09 from the HP
site and the machine now really cranks.
I do get a Management Engine error in the POST, but i thing this is just
another BIOS upgrade that I am yet to investigate.
Cheers

  • Slow image loading in Facebook and other sites.

    In some sites, especially Facebook, I've a slow image loading. For example, when I search for a person on Facebook, then the profile image of poeple takes 6-7 secons to load.
    I've installed Firefox yesterday, so I exclude that I have to delete cookies, etc. With Chrome, Facebook load images much more faster. Re-installing shockwave, the loading is faster, but not enough.
    Any suggestions?

    After looking around a bit, I found an add-on called FastestFox.
    You can find the add-on here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/fastestfox-browse-faster/ FastestFox].
    I haven't done too much research to the actual add-on itself, but after installing it in Firefox myself and using the Facebook person searcher I noticed the images and also other things like websites loading a lot faster.
    I hope this add-on helps you.
    Edit: The add-on adds some extra options when you right click a website (to download things from the website). You have to decide if you think this is worth the extra speed.

  • Exportation d'un travelling sur image fixe : définition grossière

    Chers Adobeurs,
    J'ai récemment acquis Adobe Premiere Elements 7 en me disant que cela suffirait à ce que je voulais faire : un travelling sur une image fixe (a tracking shot on a freeze frame) ; grosse déception ! Sur le tableau de lecture comme à l'exportation, mon image JPG - de très bonne qualité à l'origine puisqu'elle fait 3210 x 644 - apparait avec une définition très grossière...
    Et je ne vois pas d'où peut venir le problème !
    Merci pour votre contribution,
    Olivier

    Avec Premiere Elements, j'ai pu faire ce genre de traveling avec la fonction pan and zoom apparue avec la V11,
    avec les versions précédentes c'était moins facile. Je n'ai pas de problème de qualité avec le résultat obtenu, mais
    il s'agit d'un format vidéo et la qualité n'est peut-être pas toujours excellente.
    J'avais obtenu de bons résultats en traitant les images avec Windows Live Movie Maker, fourni avec windows, et en
    utilisant sa fonction pan/zoom. Un export en WMV me permettait de reprendre cette pseudo vidéo dans mon logiciel de
    montage avec là encore une qualité type vidéo. Vous pouvez peut-être tester avec ce programme si vous êtes sur PC.
    Bon courage.

  • Extremely slow imaging on HP DC7700 with 2GB of RAM

    Hi
    Hope you can help. I've got a dozen new HP DC7700's that we are
    attempting to image with Zenworks 6.5 SP2 Hotpatch 4. We have about 20
    different types of workstation in this environment and all of these
    workstations image in approximately 6-8 minutes.
    When we first received the HP DC7700 I had to make some mods to our
    environment as discussed in the following topic ...
    http://groups.google.com.au/group/no...bac07299d56ecd
    .... and finally got the HP DC7700 (with 1GB of RAM) imaging (with
    exactly the same image and similar size driver package) in 15 minutes
    (i.e. about double our normal imaging time). Put that on the things to
    do list to find out why the imaging time doubled but we could live with
    that.
    Then the other day we got some HP DC7700's delivered with 4 x 512MB
    sticks of RAM and started the imaging process. Now it's ground to a
    halt. It's taking approximately 3 hours to image the workstation. So
    now I have to find a solution.
    I've tested to make sure it's not a problem with the additional 1GB of
    RAM by removing all the RAM and using the additional 1GB RAM as the
    only RAM in the workstation. The workstation imaged in about 15 mins as
    before. Put 2GB in the workstation and imaging slows down to a crawl
    again.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong and where I should start
    to look to fix the problem?
    I am aware of the release of Zen 6.5 SP2 IR1 but would prefer not to
    upgrade at this stage as we've just got everything working so well here
    that I'd like to get some mileage out of it before upgrading and
    possibly introducing some new issues.
    Many thanks
    Craig

    I guess trying that as fast as possible is your only chance.. there will
    only be ONE final patch for 6.5 and this is already in beta. If the problem
    is really the ram and it could be fixed easily you have a slight chance
    that this could move into the latest patch. Otherwise you will have to live
    with it if there is no other workaround

  • Slow image downloads under 10.3.9, but not 10.4.9

    I am a Mac admin at a small publishing company. We have a number of Macs still running OS 10.3.9, and some running 10.4.x. When users attempt to download large, hi-res image files from sites like ArtRes.com, Corbis, Getty, etc. with Safari 1.3.x under 10.3.9, the download starts, but immediately begins to slow down and within a minute or so grinds to a halt.
    Under OS 10.4.x and Safari 2.x, the downloads do not exhibit this gradual slowdown and halt.
    Since earlier submitting this question to a Safari discussion, I've tested this under Firefox and Opera as well, and the same problem of halting downloads from these image sites occurs with these browsers as well, so it appears to be an OS X 10.3 issue, not a Safari issue specifically.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? (Upgrading everyone to 10.4.x is an obvious fix, but we can't do it yet.)
    Thanks.

    G5   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    Hi, that's really strange. I don't recall seeing that in my experiences with Firefox and large images, at all. I'd venture to guess that there's some networking configuration setting on the 10.3.9 machines, or further up the chain that's causing them to time out.
    I'd start by going to the terminal and doing a ping from one of the 10.3.9 machines to a remote site to see if you're getting any packet loss.

  • Slow image loads?

    Hi I am using aperture 2.1.4
    I have 15000 raw images on a fast
    defragmented hard drive 7200 rpm ect.
    I am running on an 8 core system with 8gb memory
    when I am scrolling through a project as i view the images in larger size in the upper pane
    the loading time can slow to a crawl!
    Is this a known problem? Are there any fixes? Is aperture 3 any faster at this?
    I love the way aperture organizes my photos but it gets frustrating waiting for images
    to load when i have a very fast computer and fast drives

    A few thoughts. Others will likely pop in with some more.

    Internal or external. If external, via what connection?
    I am running on an 8 core system with 8gb memory
    I have a dual-core Mac with 4 GB RAM and even with Libraries in the 100 GB range I rarely see Aperture max out my RAM (I often wish it would use more). Have you checked Activity Monitor to see if CPU cycles are in any way limiting performance?
    when I am scrolling through a project as i view the images in larger size in the upper pane

    Just for clarity (which is important), the panes (in Ap3 at least) are moveable. The one which shows images "larger" is the Viewer. The other pane is the Browser. There is also a split view which shows both. (Again, in Ap3. I've never seen Ap2, so apologies if this is not applicable.)
    Is this a known problem? Are there any fixes? Is aperture 3 any faster at this?
    Aperture 3 has a built in method to help: Quick Preview. This displays only JPG previews of all images instead of rendering full-size Versions. If it is available in Ap2, use it.
    I love the way aperture organizes my photos but it gets frustrating waiting for images
    to load when i have a very fast computer and fast drives
    Quick Preview is designed for when you are organizing your photos.

  • CS4 very slow image linking.

    We are having a efficiency issues with CS4.
    We have a large IDML document with 80 pages and 1800 images. Each image is about 24kb jpg.
    If we open the document and InDesign can find images, it will take hours to open the document. And it is very annoying that InDesign stops responding and doesn't show even a progressbar while opening the document.
    If we open the document and InDesign cannot find images, it will open the document in few minutes. Then if we fix the location of images and say "Update all links" or "Relink" broken links, InDesign will start fetching the images but it again takes hours..
    It doesn't matter if the images are on the server or local machine.
    If we update the links in smaller chunks, it will take a few minutes to update all the links. Little more testing shows that the time the InDesign takes to fetch the images increases exponentially when the amount of images increases. That seems a bug to me.
    I'm not sure what InDesign is doing when it fetches images but I know it becomes way too slow and it propably does too much.
    Is this fixed in CS5? And if not, please fix this.
    We are running CS4 InDesign 6.0.6 in Mac OSX 10.5.8 in Mac pro (2.66GHz with 8Gb memory)

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem.
    Some of my images are VERY slow to load,
    scale... (any image operation).
    I have those 2 images :
    http://193.252.5.30/tmp/cat1.jpg (25Ko : 295x551
    pixels)
    http://193.252.5.30/tmp/cat2.jpg (24Ko : 295x551
    pixels)
    I wrote a little program which load and scale the
    image.
    Here is the result :
    cat1.jpg
    Time to load image : 171 ms.
    Time to scale image : 157 ms.
    cat2.jpg
    Time to load image : 1157 ms.
    Time to scale image : 2578 ms.How can this huge difference explained ?
    Thanks for your help.Using the Netbeans profiler, I can see that for some reason, the cat2.jpg image is resulting in a hot spot where the scale() method ends up performing a color conversion via ColorConvertOp. Placing a debugger breakpoint on this call and debugging the code using cat1.jpg, the method is never called. So, there is something different about the color models of the two images, or there is a bug in the image reading code that is misinterpreting the image data.
    This bug may be what you are seeing:

  • Slow Imaging on ide disk

    I just changed form Zen7 Sp1 to Zen7 Sp1 HP2
    I got plenty of Compaq D510 with ide drive.
    With the sp1 only there were ok, but had problem with the DC7700.

    But on the console there is no error, but after 2-3 minutes the prompt is

    On the old kernel take about 5-20 seconds.
    When Imaging it take about 5-10 time longer then before I changed the
    kernel.
    was 5-6 minutes now takes 25-45 minutes
    img restorep $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/image/partition_c.zmg a1:p1
    img restorep $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/image/partition_d.zmg a1:p2
    img restorep $PROXYADDR //$PROXYADDR/image/partition_e.zmg a1:p3
    On sata drives there is no problem.
    Is someone having the same behavior?
    thanks

    Pierre
    We have managed to track down the issue. Basically, any partitioning
    operation (img p...) resets the 'using_dma' flag
    Using_dma is only relevant for ide drives and by default is set to 1 - this
    increases img performance many times. As soon as we issue any partitioning
    command it resets the value to 0, hence the poor performance.
    We use ENGL ZIM in our environment and have modified our scripts to check
    if using ide (i.e. /dev/hda as opposed to /dev/sda (sata/scsi), then reset
    using_dma to 1 following the partitioning commands.
    The command to check hdparm (assuming single ide drive - /dev/hda) is:
    hdparm -d /dev/hda
    To reset to 1:
    hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
    I shall report this to Novell and see what comes from it - I'm not sure why
    it should be reset.
    Hope this helps

  • SCCM Slow Image Process SCCM 2012 SP 1

    Hello, I am imaging same type of machines in a lab and they are not all responding the same. I have some that are stuck on the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager screen and everything below that is just white.  I have some that are real slow and
    its taking forever to get past the "loading file for the boot.TR100004.win" file.  Do I need some type of update or have a setting incorrect?  I did some research and found a Hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2922875 that is suppose
    to fix this problem, just wandering if anyone has applied it.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    It sounds like it is slow to download the Boot Image, you can configure the RamDiskTFTPBlockSize which is described here to speed it up. Note that it can cause issues with certain BIOS versions/vendors and in large networks when deploying over WAN links.

  • My Photoshop Elements 12 is impossibly slow, images do not load in the gallery unless clicked on making it difficult to create albums.

    I am using a Windows, fast processing computer. I use it for drafting and other intensive programs but Elements seems to freeze and take forever to load content. Any way to fix this?

    Hi,
    Before we get the sledgehammer out, try repairing and optimizing your catalog.
    Load the organizer
    From the File menu, select Manage Catalogs - that should open the Catalog Manager.
    Select you current catalog and click on the Repair button
    When that has finished, click on the Optimize button
    When that is done, click on the Cancel button to close the Catalog Manager.
    Approximately how many images are in your catalog?

  • Z-index-- image fixed/ text mobile

    I'm a web developer student with 5 classes left before
    graduation (with honors) and I've come to realize...I'm really not
    ready for the workforce! GRRRR
    I have a layer question. My page setup is as follows;
    z-index 1 or 'OuterPanel' is position absolute, width and
    height 100% // covers the full screen
    z-index 2 is my 'WorkArea' relative, margin-left/right auto,
    750px by 750px// keeps the active content centered
    z-index 3 (which sets inside of z-index 2) includes multiple
    div's that hold my positioning for text and pics.//absolute--fixed
    to the 'WorkArea' --centered.
    My question is, with this setup, can I lock a pic in position
    (z-index 3) and still scroll text on the same z-index. I realize
    that I can lock a background image in place, but I can seem to get
    full control with image location when changing monitor size. Any
    thoughts?

    > Any thoughts?
    Sure - there are much easier ways to get centering pages,
    none of which
    involve the use of positioning at all. In fact, I see nothing
    in your
    requirements that would suggest the use of positioning.
    > I want to be able to scroll
    > the text down without the header or the pic moving.
    The only way to reliably get this would be to use frames.
    > I know that frames would fix
    > this, but I've been told that frames are a security risk

    That's complete claptrap. Frames are NOT a security risk, and
    there is no
    suggestion (even a remote one) that any browser will not
    support them.
    Frames are a complete pain in the ***, for both you and your
    client, but
    they are not what you have suggested.
    As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
    frames and their
    potential problems can be found on these two links -
    http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php
    http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/frames/
    Thoughts? I would discard the idea of achieving the 'fixed'
    image and menu.
    People are quite comfortable with scrolling to get to those
    things.

  • BT Infinity 20Mbps slower after fixing BT Vision

    Hello
    I had BT infinity & BT Vision installed about 3 weeks ago. 
    Speed estimate said 48Mbps. After install i got a solid 52Mbps which i was very happy with Also had BT vision installed at the same time which i didnt actually use until about 1 week ago. 
    When i tried using the BT vision the multicast channels - BBC 1 HD etc wouldn't work, it would take 30 - 60 seconds to get a picture. Obviously something was wrong. 
    I rang BT to after some tests escalated to level 2 support. An engineer turned up a few days later although when he went to test it everything worked perfectly. He said BT probably adjusted settings on their end which fixed it. 
    I tried a speed test straight away and my speed had dropped from 50 to 30 Mbps. Its been the same since and speaking to BT they don't really care as its within limits. 
    Would anyone be able to explain the drop in speed?
    btw - I'm not talking about while i am watching TV on the vision box then its even slower...
    Same with a wired or wireless connection.
    Also my stats below seem to be different from others i've seen with the difference between max connection and actual download. Any comments appreciated

    I've just noticed the same thing with me.
    I have a Draytek router, and its data flow monitor is showing a constant downloading at around 20mbps, whether I'm watching any IP channels on Vision or not. Broadband speed does not go higher than 20Mbps or so.
    What is this and why is it happening?

    Good luck, the problem was in the transfer, not everything seems to be carrying over as it should, are you able to delete the previous background and utilize a new one.  Or, open two separate workspaces, one with a blank page the other with your previous model, create the new background in the new model, then copy and paste the previous compononents into the new workspace along with the imported excel spreadsheet?
