Editing: slows down drastically

Recently I am experiencing a problem that I did not have before. In Develop after I have made tens (or maybe hundreds) small brush corrections all of a sudden everything slows down dramatically. Feels like an overload, though I have a powerful desktop with a lot of free memory. LR5, Windows 8.

This is a known problem in Lightroom. Lots of brushing causes Lightroom to slow down. You would be better off doing the brushing in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

Macbook Pro slowed down drastically all of a sudden, Beachball constantly there

So, this morning I left my house playing a game of League of Legends and as soon as i got to work and tried to use my mac it seemed to have slowed down by 90%. Beachball there constantly as soon as I click finder, nothing loads for about 15seconds, beach ball continues swirling. Applications load up then if I hoover over one, beach ball appears again for 10 seconds. I have done a SMC Reset and PRAM reset and nothing has worked, I have killed the com.apple.finder.plist and it didn't help. Even when i go to top left Apple sign and click it, beach ball appears and I have to wait about 15seconds before the drop down bar appears.
Ive had Maverick for a while and nothing happened, im on a 2.5GhZ i5 4GB Ram Macbook pro 13"
It had first started when I used mail and i couldn't write because the text in a new email would only appear about 5 seconds after i typed it.
Now for example if I try using Safari it gives the beach ball every time we change a website.
I can't use any other apps, for example league of legends will simply not load.

Files transfer slows down drastically after 362 MB

i tried restore and update itunes and approximately after 365 mb been transfered it freezes.

It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

Whole computer slows down drastically when network drive is mounted

Firstly, I hope I'm asking this in the right place. I'm using a MacBook with a Time Capsule and a 1.5TB USB drive attached to the Time Capsule as a wireless network drive. Whenever the network drive is connected, my whole computer runs intolerably slowly. Even if no program is actually using files from the network drive and the drive itself is silent and unused, my computer still crawls along agonizingly slowly. Yet if I plug the drive directly into the MacBook there's no problem whatsoever.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can cure the problem?
In case it counts:
MacBook: running OS 10.6.5, 2.2GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
Network: 802.11n, WPA2 Personal.
Hard Disk: LaCie, 1.5TB USB 2.0
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Thanks. Away on holiday right now, but will do it as soon as I get back next week.
Out of curiosity, the external drive works fine when connected directly via USB to the laptop. I took that to mean that the problem wasn't to do with the drive, but probably the network. Is it possible there could be a problem with the drive which only shows up when it's used as a network drive?

Slow down in X after kernel and xorg packages updated

Just upgraded to the latest kernel and xorg with the following packages and X has taken a nose dive and slowed down drastically:
kernelcairo-1.10.0-2 kernel26-2.6.35.7-1
mesa-7.8.2-3 nss-3.12.8-1 xf86-input-evdev-2.5.0-1
xf86-video-nv-2.1.18-1 xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0-3
xkeyboard-config-1.9-1 xorg-server-common-1.9.0-1
xorg-server-1.9.0-1 xterm-262-1
Tried reinstalling nvidia, but no help there. Reverting to the previous packages made things good again.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I can confirm nVidia's driver version '260.19.06' fixes this render lag.
This version is available in the AUR
remember to exit xorg and remove the old module after installing
# rmmod nvidia

Performance slows down when moving from stage to test schema within same instance with same database table and objects

We have created a stage schema and tested application which is working fine when we are moving it to another schema for further testing ( This schema is created using same scripts which were used to create objects in staging schema) the performanc of application (Developed in .NET) slows down drastically
Some of the store procedures we have checked at Databse/SQLdeveloper level are giving almost same performance but at Application level there is lot of difference
Can you please help
We are using Oracke 11g Database

Are you using the Database Cloud Service? You cannot create schemas in the Database Cloud Service, which makes me think you are not. This forum is only for the Database Cloud Service.

Browser based InfoPath Forms in SharePoint 2010 performance has slowed down after SharePoint 2010 SP2

hi All,
Our Browser based Infopath forms have slowed down drastically after applying SharePoint 2010 SP2. Prior to this, we had SharePoint 2010 SP1 and the timings was around 10 seconds (single user) for the entire infopath form to be displayed which has 10-12
views and 5 data connections and 15 business rules and around 100 fields.
But now after applying sharepoint 2010 sp2, the performance has slowed down and it now takes for a single user around 50 seconds.
Refer to the link below, which we followed by applying the patch as well, but the performance is still the same very slow.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0b673324-01c4-49f7-86cb-647aa43fefd6/infopath-browser-forms-extremely-slow-after-service-pack-2-upgrade?forum=sharepointadminprevious
We have raised a ticket with Microsoft, but there is no concrete resolution as to what component of the infopath has made the form rendering and display slow.
Can someone point me to the right resource or knowledge base where i can do a kind of debug, which tells me exactly which infopath dlls are the issue or which part of my form is taking more time. I am using AOLPageTest and Fiddler, but they do not give me
any details where exactly is the bottleneck.
Any tools that give me the details of the bottleneck.
Thanks and appreciate your help in this.
Regards
Ram
Thanks Ram

hi inderjeet,
The application has gone live and its on production, the same application is on pre-prod and UAT, system testing and integration environments.
The infopath form used to work very well on all these environments before we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2. but the moment we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2, the infopath forms have slowed down.
Microsoft has acknowledged that there is an issued with sharepoint 2010 sp2 and infopath form performance, but they are not able to provide an appropriate fix on this.
We have another environment where there is no sharepoint 2010 sp2 applied only sp1 is applied and the infopath form works very well within fraction of seconds.
So your point no. 1 and 2 and 3. does not reveal anything. Fiddler does not give any detailed component by component breakup where the time is taking more.
The form used to work very well before we applied sp2.
I want to know a tool that gives me exactly component by component grant chart kind of breakup of time taken when the infopath url is requested on the browser.
Thanks

My eMac is slowing down and my hard drive is filling up, what should I do?

I have a lot of music and movie files on my computer and just recenlty my computer has been slowing down. I only have 19 gb left on my 80gig hard drive. I don't know wether to buy more ram or get an external hard drive. I only have 256 mb of ram. Also as a side note my computer slows down drasticly when ever I run Limewire but it did not before. What is the reason for that and how can it be fixed. (note: I'm not a big limewire user and I only have 85 limewire songs compared to 2500 normal iTunes or Imported CD songs, so its not that limewire is the main thing i use for getting music, i just get random singles off of it) Why i does it basicly freeze my computer?
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 ghz and 256 ram

I posted this...
http://tinyurl.com/7eqxs
to the iDVD4 group, but it still probably applies to your situation. So first thing I would do is what my post says to do and see if that doesn't help your eMac with freezing and slow downs.
If you are going to keep the computer, then I would definately go with more RAM. You have two slots and only one is filled, so I would buy a 512MB module and throw it into the other slot and you should be all set for RAM. Even another 256MB module would be better than what you have now.
Also, get an external Firewire hard drive. Either buy one premade or put one together yourself (buy external case and internal drive to put in it). You can put together a 160+GB drive for under $100. This will allow you to free up a lot of space inside the eMac by putting seldom used stuff onto the external drive. Or if you want, you can move your iTunes library off onto the external.

Query Designer slows down after working some time with it

Hi all,
the new BEx Query Designer slows down when working some time with it. The longer it remains open, the slower it gets. Especially formula editing slows down extremely.
Did anyone of you encounter the same problem? Do you have an idea, how to fix this. To me it seems as if the Designer allocates more and more RAM and does not free that up.
My version: BI AddOn 7.X, Support Package 13, Revision 467
Kind regards,
Philipp

I have seen a similar problem on one of my devices, the 'Samsung A-920'. Every time the system would pop up the 'Will you allow Network Access' screen , the imput from all keypresses from then on would be strangely delayed. It looked like the problem was connected with the switching from my app and the system dialog form. I tried for many many long hours / days to fix this, but just ended up hacking my phone to remove the security questions. After removing the security questions my problem went away.
I don't know if it's an option in your application, but is it possible to do everything using just one Canvas, and not switch between displayables? You may want to do an experiment using a single displayable Canvas, and just change how it draws. I know this will make user input much more complicated, but you may be able to avoid the input delays.
In my case, I think the device wasn't properly releasing / un-registering the input handling from the previous dialogs, so all keypresses still went through the non-current network-security dialog before reaching my app.

Web page browsing speed drastically slowing down

I purchased a 13 inch mac book pro in December. Since day one, I have had a problem with my web page browsing speed drastically slowing down. These crippling slow down periods are completely random. They can start any time, and last from any amount of time. from minutes to hours.
95% of the time any attempt to load a page end in a time out. The other 5% takes no less then 90 seconds to load the simplest of pages. I have this problem no matter what browser I use (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). What is driving me nuts is other applications work fine when browsing slows down. Skype, IM clients, multi-player games all work great, but web pages will not load. When I ping a website, my latency returns are perfectly normal. I can use Telnet and SSH with no problem.
This has become such a problem that I can not depend on using OS X day to day. I used boot camp to setup a windows partition and installed win 7. Using my win 7 install everything runs perfectly, I have had zero slow down!
I've done some searching and found numerous posts with similar problems. Ive read and followed the advice that I found, but I've had no success is fixing this.
I have had this problem on 6 different wireless networks. Each time this problem has come into play, my windows install performs flawlessly. This really makes me belive this is a software problem. Not hardware / ISP.
I see alot of post blaming default ISP DNS servers, just to let everyone know I use google's open DNS on my home network.
I also have changed the DNS settings in OS X
All other machines on my home network have zero problems!
Sending files between my laptop and other machines on my network works perfectly.
I have found a few posts / guides for using OnyX, none of them have worked for me
I have to be missing some simple thing here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the welcome and the quick response Glynn
I rebooted into OS X as soon as I read your response. Web pages would not load.
I followed your instructions.
The Airport Light was green.
I went ahead and hit assist me and ran the diag tool. According to the tool my internet connection is working correctly.
Sadly the problem persists and web pages still will not load in all four browsers.
I ran a ping to google.com and responses were well under 45 ms.

In "edit" mode, my movie speed is fine. Once published it seems to slow down and become all jerky. Any ideas? Thanks

I have a revision a imac g5 with the same problem with only macbreak podcast. I know leo laporte said that the podcast was done in 1080p and my computer with its built in 64 megabyte graphics card might have trouble with this podcast but your machine must have a better graphics card than mine. 1080p requires at least 128 megabytes of graphics memory built in. My machine played this podcast on quicktime fine until they came out with the update to quicktime last week or two ago. I was going to upgrade my memory until I came accross your story and your machines doing the same thing with much better specs. I think it might be the quicktime update that is causing a problem. Maybe Leo will talk about this problem since he is doing a mac show about macs.

Color correction slows down editing

In CS 5.5 I adjusted the curves for color correction for the first time and then renedered the 12min video for 1hour 20min. I now see a couple of minor clip edits I want to make. However, Premiere is acting very slow and choppy. Is the color correcting I did slowing the edit process down?

Truthfully, what I would recommend is to turn off all CC,
edit, nail your timings... then color correct.
I always have considered and treated CC as a 'final touch'
that can't really be done full justice until the cut itself is solid.
But...
If you have clips that really need to be CC'ed as you are editing,
you should Preview Render those clips for smooth playback
in the Timeline as you continue to edit.

Hi. I am going to be buying a macbook air 2012 soon with 4 GB of RAM and wondering how much memory space does norton AV take up and does it drastically slow down the mac. Thanks a lot :)

Hi
I am going to be buying a macbook air 2012 model with 4 GB ram soon. I was wondering how much space (memory) does Norton AV take up and does it drastically slow down the computer. Also, I am going off to uni so will predominantly be using the laptop for surfing and MS office.
Thanks a lot

Sorry to disagree mende1. In this age of email attachments and social networks, it is actually a good idea to have a good antivirus on your system. {I realize that this is a religious argument and I will say no more}. With that said, the general concensus is that Norton AV is terrible. It is intrusive and uses up a lot of cycles.
There are a lot of better AV clients out there. I use ClamXav which is free and uses the clamav antivirus that is open source.

Do you want free or do you want the best, your original post said best, now you are saying free. This is a contraction, there is no such thing as best free. There is such a thing as free and such a thing as best.
Also is your focus video or photos?????
