Engage 2008 dashboards load extremely slowly

Post Author: richlatt
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Hi there,
We have a number of dashboards built with 4.5 professional, and have migrated a bunch of them over to Engage 2008 (trial version). Some things are great! The xlf is much smaller and the published swf is smaller as well. However, the dashboad load time has increased significantly! What used to take 10 seconds now takes a full minute.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? Have we missed a publish setting perhaps?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi RichThere were performance gains and some losses by moving to X2008. It actually has a totally new underlying architecture and flex engine. We are working to regain CX4.5 parity for most features. Below is where we currently stand for the X2008 release.
X5 faster than CX4.5.
Application startup time.
.xlf file size with same number of components.
SWF Load time (Open SWF in browser).
Model creation time.
SWF speed when returning data from Live Office.
SWF speed when returning data from QAAWS.
X5 same as CX4.5.
.xlf save time.
Importing an Excel spreadsheet.
CPU usage (in Preview after generation).
SWF animation speed.
.xlf stability with same components (e.g. no crashes).
Export to SWF and other formats time.
X5 slower than CX4.5
.xlf load time.
Preview time (model being generated).
SWF file size with same number of components (bigger).
Switching Themes and Color Schemes.
We are working on a service pack for July timeframe. And I can tell you that the load speeds are already faster. AndyXcelsius QA

Finder loading extremely slowly

Since upgrading to 10.9.5 I noticed that the Finder loads the contents of directories unbelievably slowly. I am not talking about a few seconds, but minutes. I am also not talking about huge folders but even for folders with just two items it has taken several minutes. After it has been loaded once, usually the next time loading the same folder is fast again. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm also experiencing this problem. I'm sometimes waiting up to 2p minutes for folders and their contents to appear. I don't get it. I get frustrated and quite the Finder multiple times, log out and back in--same problems. Someone suggests unmounting volumes. I've never done that. How do you do it?

Boris Title 3D Loads extremely slowly

My Boris Title 3D plug takes about 20 seconds to load...literally.
I'm running FCP 5.1.4 on a Quad G5 with 3GB RAM. I haven't seen this behavior on other computers. Is anyone else having this problem, and do you know of a solution?
Thanks.

I wonder if you have a large number of fonts or a corrupt font. You might try removing fonts from your system and see if that helps.
Also, try deleting fcp preferences.

Ever since I upgraded to firefox 3.6.15 the pages are loading extremely slowly, why?

I use a MacBook pro - about a year old and I have OS 10.6.6 installed. Ever since you pushed firefox 3.6.15 to me the pages are very slow in loading. Is it a cache problem? A second visit to the same page loads faster. sometimes it is slower than others and I don't know why. I have done a speed check on uploads and downloads and all seems to be fine.

I can get the photos to display in 3 columns if I do this:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Content
In the Fonts & Colors section, click the Advanced... button.
Change '''Minimum Font Size''' to '''None''' and OK out of Options.
But most people are not going to do that. I prefer a minimum font size of at least 10.
So... how to fix it. The way the thumbnails are sized is that they are 10em with a base font size of 5px. If the minimum size is set to 10px, the pictures double in height and width.
It would make more sense if the base font size in your stylesheet was larger. Can you edit it? If so, try doubling the font size and halving the relative image size:
In http://languagesofourancestors.spruz.com/dhtml/corestyle/xstyle.css
<br>/*All Cards Small*/
.SUI-UserPic.small, .SUI-ImageCard.small, .SUI-VideoCard.small { font-size: '''10px''';}
<br>/* User Pics */
(4 lines down)
.SUI-UserPic .SUI-CardImage { display: block; width: '''5em'''; height: '''5em'''; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px;}
.SUI-UserPic .SUI-CardImage img { width: '''5em'''; min-height: '''5em'''; border: 0 none;}
.SUI-UserPic .PopInfo {line-height: normal; display: none; width: 140px; position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: '''4em'''; left: 0; margin: 0 auto;}
I think that will be more broadly compatible. There may well be some details I've missed, but hopefully this helps.
I don't know why the minimum font size wasn't applied this way in Firefox 3.6, but I suspect this is the new normal.

YouTube loads incredibly slowly...

So at first I thought it was YouTube that was loading videos slowly, but every time I try to watch a video, it either loads EXTREMELY slowly, or doesn't load at all.
Help?

Hi Caserluff,
Try testing on 3G, EDGE, and Wi-Fi. Does YouTube load slowly on other networks?

Firefox loads page at first start extremely slowly & while using suddenly loses its connection ability! How can I fix this?

I'm using Firefox 4.0 I did all the updates I could, I didn't change anything except the history preferences and from advanced -> network
Whats happening:
I'm starting firefox, first time or second time I start doesn't matter, it brings every single page extremely slowly (google,facebook,mozilla.com etc)
after a while it loads the page, and after a little more while suddenly it loses connection and returns to first position
bringing pages extremely slowly
It's not about my internet connection, I have a good one and other applications using internet are working perfectly (including IE)

Thanks for responding, David. Using <Esc> and <CtrlW> might reduce the time in returning to the other tab, but does little when the triggering of a wanton alarm is very frequent. The connections I have used were extremely reliable and fast. I am using at this moment a 54 Mbps WiFi connection that lives up to its ratings in downloading & uploading data; yet, as shown in the attached image, I still get this worthless alarm. I do not know if this problem happens with my regular ISP since I have been using this tiny notebook only when traveling -- will test that once I am back mostly for curiosity, but even then if then the alarm were not triggered this would be of little consolation, since other browsers do not have the problem right now).
As a moderator, I urge you to ask the Mozilla-powers-to-be why there is no way to turn off the alarm with, say, a true/false switch in about:config (mind you, there is still old-versions junk in this config list, so it isn't we are talking about amending the constitution). Complains about this fugly alarm can be traced in the web as far back as 2010 at least. Besides, what is the advantage of the alarm for the average user? When FF users are still posing amazingly basic questions in forums of Firefox or Mozilla support, such an alarm ought to be _off_ by default and should be an option of advanced settings menu. This annoyance shows how much the critical focus on keeping a simple GUI uncluttered by trivial or higher-level messages still needs to evolve for Firefox, which I have used it since it was known a Firebird. Guess will have to switch to Chrome now while abroad.
Happy Holidays

Webpages loading very slowly??

I haven't made any changes to my connection lately, but it is now suddenly running very slowly. I'm running 10.4.11 with all updates. The Internet (Safari, Firefox, and Mail) runs very slowly and takes minutes to load webpages, and sometimes doesn't load at all. I have made changes to the router, but it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I scan for viruses?

When websites don't load, I now get this "Road Runner Web Site Suggestion" site that I have never gotten before. This leads me to believe that it has something to do with the ISP.
Also, I don't lose or drop my wireless connection, it just loads web pages extremely slowly until the point where it sometimes goes to this Road Runner page.

Unable to utilize Drill-Down for all Filtered Dates in Xcelsius Engage 2008

Iu2019m very new to the Xcelsius Engage 2008 product and donu2019t understand what is needed to correct the drill-down problem encountered in a newly created dashboard.
The issue is with Drill-Down from a filtered chart. For some reason, I am unable to correctly pick any data item from the chart located top of workspace to drill-down to the lower chart when selecting a month beyond Jan u201911.
Iu2019ve unhidden the Label Based Menu, List Box 1 and List Box 2 during attempt to find out why I am unable to drill-down when I select a month other than Jan u201911. As youu2019ll see, when you u2018manuallyu2019 click in the unhidden List Box 2, the bottom chart is displaying the correct data.
Also - new to post for this forum - is there a way to attached the XLF to help with visual support to the problem?
Thank you,
Deborah

Hi there and welcome.
First troubleshooting step is to add a spreadsheet component to your canvas so you can watch what's happening. Second, have a look at this step-by-step to make sure you're not missing any steps. http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/xcelsius-interactivity-chart-drill-down.html
Can you select only Jan '11? Or only up to Jan '11? Are you selecting whole months or days?
Assuming that your second chart is filtering for this date, I would check that the formatting is correct. Try, for example, removing all formatting so that you're seeing 40668 instead of a date. Does that work?
Also, it can be helpful to post your version number. This can be found under Help > About Xcelsius and will something like 5.3.5.0

I have had my macbook pro for 4 months and it is now running extremely slowly

please can somebody help me, i don't know anything technical about computers. my 15'' macbook pro has overnight started to run extremely slowly, it is now becoming impossible to use my macbook and it is only 4 months old, i have no idea why and the only things i have put on it are the software updates. my macbook came with snow leopard but i got a free copy of lion to put on the very next day and i've never had any problems. i'm desperate to get this sorted as i'm disabled and it is a lifeline to me. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. lynda.

i took my macbook to the apple store i bought it from, they checked the memory and hard drive and everything was ok, after a re install of the operating system i still had a problem so apple advised me to back up everything to an external drive the erase everything then reinstall which i've done and am now up and running again, it's like i have a new macbook

Since updating to FF 5.0, I can no longer access my MAMP server (Mac/Apache/MySQL/PHP) Wordpress development site on my Localhost computer (MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.4). Why not? It's running EXTREMELY SLOWLY when I try to access the pages on my site.

PROBLEM WITH LOCALHOST SITE LOADING VERY SLOWLY (IF AT ALL) AFTER I UPGRADED FIREFOX TO 5.0 FROM 3.6
I have been successfully running MAMP, a personal Apache server with MySQL, on my MacBook Pro using OSX 10.6.4. This is so I can create a Wordpress blog locally to later upload to my remote website.
Yesterday, I updated my Firefox browser from 3.6 to 5.0 (and added the following extensions: Better Privacy 1.51, Bloody Vikings! 0.5.3, Copy as HTML Link 2.0, Firebug 1.7.3, Firepicker 1.3.4, NoScript 2.1.1.2, and Ultimate Free Stock Photo Search Add-on 1.0.1, TypeGauge 0.5, and Zotero 2.1.8)
Now, I'm having trouble: At first, MySQL database server in MAMP wouldn't turn on at all. I restarted both Firefox and MAMP a few times. Finally, MySQL turned on and MAMP started to load into the browser. But it got only as far as the top bar on the MyPHP page, and would not load the rest of the page. Finally, pages do load, but I'm getting a "Waiting for localhost…" message looping at the lower left screen for a VERY LONG TIME (30-60 sec?) before my localhost web page appears (sometimes it says "Read localhost…").
But even when the localhost pages appears, it continues to run VERY SLOWLY when the browser tries to load the pages (although it runs a little less slowly when I use only the backend Wordpress administration pages). In short, it seems that something is stopping Firefox from accessing the MySQL database properly so that my site can show up as quickly as it did before.
Since this mess only happened after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and added the plugins, and nothing else has changed on my computer, it seems the Firefox 5.0 app and/or an extension is the culprit.
Can you advise me ASAP about what to do? If not, I'll have to downgrade to 4.0 or something. I've got deadlines to meet.
Thank you.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 - 4GB started running extremely slowly.

All of a sudden my Macbook Pro 10.6.8 - 4GB started running extremely slowly. I verified the disk and got an OK. I have plenty of memory. Any clue?

I do need to learn how to use the communities...sorry. First time.
I do have lots of free disk space though.
The problem seems to be solved, after a whole day searching for help on the net.
I read somewhere to check my Console.app for repeated information. Then I saw my Mackeeper antivirus was sending the same message every 5 seconds for the last 15 hours. Thousands and thousands of the same message. I turned off the Real-time Protection, restarted the computer and all is fine. Just can't believe it.
Where I live it is kind of hard to get assistance.
Tks for your help.
