Extremely long(10 minute) Full GC times

I have a problem that seems unrelated to traditional GC tuning. Full Garbage Collection on my server (x86, Linux, 2 proc, 2GB memory, 1GB Heap) is taking in excess of 10 minutes. The frequency of the Full GC is about every 8-10 hours. I've combed some posts for issues related to long GC, but long is a relative term, and usually refers to 2-10 second range.
My question is, what kinds of things could cause such an extremely long GC. My theory is that this particular machine is hosting some other applications, most notably a mysql server that is connected to remotely. With this setup, another application could be using resources on this primary server while the Full GC is executing, thus causing a thrashing scenario from a CPU perspective. But even so, it seems that this wouldn't cause Full GC to take 2 orders of magnitude longer.
I've currently changed to the CMS garbage collector, so the long pauses are not a problem, but I'd really like to understand why such a long Full GC pause is even possible, and what can be done about it using the serial Collector

Possibly the objects that are being garbage collected, are having their finalize() method called. It's not normally guaranteed that the GC will call an objects finalize() method....but you never know.
In that case, the finalize() method(s) maybe be timing out, eg. trying to close database or network connections, and taking 60 seconds or more to time out individually.
It's just a wild guess...

Owen

Extremely long Master File Sharing/Export times (MP4)

I, too, it seems, am having extremely long Sharing times with my FCP X project(s). It's a one hour, 50 minute HD video. Nothing fancy, just a couple talking heads comprised of 7 .mov files and appx. 65 graphics and black generators as B-Roll. When I share it to a Master File as an MP4 video it takes nearly 36 hours to complete.
The Transcoding takes more than 8 hours before it gets to the export phase. I have "Create Optimized Media" and "Create Proxy Media"checked in the FCP X Prefs and have Background Rendering switched off, FWIW.
I have a 13" MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 8GB RAM, 1TB HD and running 10.9.2. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed.
Activity Monitor shows that I'm using 6.34GB physical memory and 10.5GB Virtual Memory. The Memory Pressure graph is green. Activity Monitor shows these processes: a kernel task of 750MB, FCP using 600MB and ProTranscoder Tool using 286MB.
I've shared copies of this same video to YouTube and it took about just as long but it shared successfully.
I was just wondering if there was any way to cut down on the rendering time - which, based on what I've seen in the discussions may not really be possible on a 2-hour video. I will have another video in a week or so to finish and it's the same length. Also, I may have a couple more projects in the future (if the client likes these) that will be similar. My goal is to not have to wait days for a project export/share to be complete. Worse, as was the case today, I decided to add one more 5-second graphic and had to re-do the entire Transcode/Export process.
I looked into getting Compressor but that doesn't seem really necessary or beneficial in my case and, based on the reviews, can actually add even MORE time to the process, it seems.
Thanks for any suggestions or pointers. I'll continue to look through the discussions for info.

Since I just downloaded the trial version and started this project I'm still learning as I go. At this point, I may actually end up having to purchase FCP (which I actually REALLY like - except for the hideous export times). I used the OLD Final Cut Pro a good many years ago on a G-4 Quicksilver so this is somewhat of a re-learning experience.
When I began the project I'm trying to finish (now that I recall) I actually exported it from iMovie to FCP. That's when I needed help using the generators because I needed to cover the 16:9 video while using a 4:3 graphic. I began using this current version of FCP without initially setting or changing any preferences. So, I believe the Optimize was already toggled. I wasn't sure abut the proxy but you cleared that up for me. Thanks! I just made sure those two were toggled for this latest share/export because of something I read about maximizing (which I'm doing a lot of these days!).
The second program's .mov files I shot and began editing were imported directly into FCP and, again, I don't recall that I toggled the Optimize option. I know I was sure to copy both programs' files to their project and not keep them in place (avoiding potential file issues). I also exported that second, similar, video at one point (probably because of the issues with the first program) and it, too, took a comparable amount of time to export. It is an hour and fifteen munutes long.
Since my MBP is new, I got the (what I assumed to be)was the maximum RAM. I've since learned you can (expensively) actually upgrade it to 16GB. I'll opt for a SSD first, tho ;-)
When I get a chance after I'm finished with this current export ( which occur tomorrow sometime :-/ ) I'll try the Pro Res export and then try the MPEG Streamclip (which I have and use frequently) option.
I'm using a new Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus external 1.5TB (non-Thunderbolt) drive formatted Extended/Journaled/GUID partition to store my project and actually did quit FCP and restarted the MBP prior to beginning this export with no browsers running.
And, fwiw, at 6:30pm EST the project is 44% of the way through the Transcoding process.
Thanks for your help and time.

Extremely long time of boot up, approximately 10 minutes. Need help!

Hello! The case concerns a MacBook Pro 13" A1278 (mid 2010). After a clean installation of OS X Mountain Lion, computer startup time has increased from tens of seconds (Snow Leopard) to approximately 10 minutes (it varies between 8 and 12).
The startup disk is indicated properly in the system. I performed a SMC reset, NVRAM/PRAM reset and it didn't work. Computer passed AHT tests, then the hard drive was scanned for permission errors - all of a few has been repaired. Next I scanned the disk for any bad sectors, which did not reveal any errors in this regard. Finally I used Drive Genius 3 to defragment. All these treatments did not produce any results! To avoid misunderstandings - the computer is fully functional in the sense that after this long, long startup, my Mac is working completely fine. What could be causing this extremely long startup time? Let me add that I live in a country where there are no Apple stores, so I can't go to the Genius Bar. Please help!

Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder. Select your disk and click on Check Disk. If this reports any problem you will need to insert your original install disk and restart holding the c-key until you see the grey Apple logo. Select language. On the next screen there will be a menu bar. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select your disk but this time you will be able to select Repair disk. If successful rerun Repair Disk to check that no further repairs are needed, then restart normally.
You could also run Apple hardware test to see whether it's a hardware problem.
Note that other software you might have installed can slow down the startup as can any that you have chosen to have started at login.
There are other things that can be done but report back to this forum after you've followed suggestions offered - either to let us know we helped or to let us know that there's no change.

Extremely long "reading" times in media browser

We are running CC2014 on 3 edit systems with a shared 10Gbit 36TB Synology NAS. Each workstation has approximately 12TB of local raid storage as well. We shoot P2 primarily and I have a little over 17TB archived on the Synology. Lately, we have had extremely long "reading" times in Media Browser on all the machines. I don't quite understand how Premiere is indexing and displaying as sometimes the "reading" time is relatively quick, ie. under 10 seconds and then other times it can take 3-5 minutes to display clips within a directory.
My Directory Structure is:
Media
     P2 footage
          (P2 folders/ie. cards are all saved with their shoot dates here)
          Our total archive of P2 footage is around 70 cards.
It appears that when Media Browser is pointed to a P2 Card folder it is indexing the entire "P2 footage directory, ie. all 70 cards", rather than just the individual folder containing 1 P2 card's footage. Ist this the case?
Would I get better read speeds in Media Browser if I organized my P2 footage into more directories, ie. by year and quarter or by year and month?
Really need to know how the indexing works. Does premiere cache preview files for each clip and if so, how long are these previews valid. It seems that when I media browse a new P2 Card/Folder, it has forgotten any previous preview files that have been made and cached.
Any explanation or help would be appreciated.
We have copied large numbers of cards/folders from the Synology to our local raids to see if the latency was due to the network but the results are the same when we media browse on the local raid copies.

We are working on this issue. Could you open a support case and submit your
project so we can have support see if it is fixed in a later release?

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu took an extremely long time today

Hey,
this is the first time I've encountered such an issue:
today I upgraded as usual (pacman -Syu) but the process took an extremely long time
(~20 minutes). The last time I upgraded was three days ago.
The culprits seem to have been the libreoffice-still and texlive packages.
Has anyone else had this problem? What could have caused this?

Ipad updated to 7.1 but after update takes extremely long time to bring up itunes, everything else works fine

I updated my ipad to 7.1 this weekend. I am using the same wireless network, etc.....nothing else has changed but it takes an extremely long time to load itunes on the ipad. Everything from the store itself and the items I have purchased take anything rom 3 to 5 minutes to load.
I have reset the ipad, reset the "network" from the router to the option on the ipad.
Any other suggestions?

Check App Store
1. Tap "Settings"
2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
3. Tap on your Apple ID
4.Tap "View Apple ID"
5. Enter your user name and password.
6. Tap "Country/Region."
7. Tap "Change Country/Region"
8. Select the country/region where you are located.
9. Tap "Done".

Extremely long compression time

I am trying to compress a 6 minute video into a quicktime movie. It starts out saying it will only take 3 minutes to share. Then it quickly moves up to 17 minutes before coming to a halt.
Anybody have any ideas on what I am doing wrong or is this common? On previous videos this has never happened. I've tried doing a different video and it is also taking an extremely long time to compress.
Thanks for the help

I think possibly it could have something to do with my video settings. I don't know much about video settings.
We are producing these videos that range from 7-30min from a video camera. We don't need audio (already took that out) and we don't need the best of quality on the video. It obviously needs to be decent enough to see what is going on without straining, but beyond that I don't need much.
Does anybody have any suggestions on the type of video settings I could use in the expert settings? I believe iMovie is trying to compress much more information than I really need. Thanks for the help.

Extreme long execution time

Hi,
lately, I realized that Jubula needs extremely long for all the progresses...
For example, deleting TestResults or after execution of TestCases, the Progress "Collecting Information" and "Writing Report to Database" needs about 15-20 minutes!!
I use the embedded database and html toolkit and my project is not big at all!
I already had larger projects and never experienced that long progresses!
Any ideas/suggestions why Jubula is suddenly working that slow?
Thanks

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for your question! I think the problem is that the h2 database isn't designed for productive use - it doesn't scale well and will indeed get slower and slower with time (not necessarily size of the project, just time).
If you need to keep using it then you can do the following:
- stop Jubula
- perform an export all to export all of the projects
- you can also copy the database files (from your home directory under .jubula) to back them up
- delete the database files from your home directory
- connect to the database: this will recreate the database
- then you can import the projects you exported
Like I say, this isn't the preferred way of working, but the steps above should help with the current performance. Bear in mind that you should ensure that you have backups before you delete the database!
Hope that helps,
Alex

Extremely long log on time using Time Capsule and Airport

i'm really confused as to why when I start up my macbook, connecting wirelessly via time capsule and airport that it takes an extremely long time to log in and the internet connection seems unusually slow. is there a setting that's off? when i log on at work to a different router and wireless connection it starts up right away. any advice appreciated.

1. no idea.
2. I get the same issue. Set the brightness at a certain low level - and most often when i performa a full restart of the computer - the brightness is usually at full blast.... I've had this happen for about 5 months now and have never bothered to call in about it - if it hasn't been fixed yet - I'll just deal with it as it only takes a second to correct... but yes - annoying....
3. Same as you - and this is the funny thing...... Mine used to start pulsing immediately when the lid was closed. IT changed for me in the last 2 months or so. That - and also - when performing a shutdown of the computer - it just get a grey sinning circle on the middle of the screen for about 10 or 15 seconds..... very similar to the wait for the pulsing light....
I reinstall OSX every month or so for various testing purposes - and I usually just put all the updates on immediately. next time - i will run the vanilla OSX that came with my re-install cd and check out condition 3 to see if it is an update that has caused that delay.
So - you're not alone/

Extremely long export time

Hi,
I got some big problems while exporting footage from AME and PP CC 2014. I mean – the time of exporting is extremely long. It take 4 hours to export 15 minutes of 1080p footage (with not best quality of render settings). There is no big difference in time while exporting with or without effect same as AME or PP.
I shoot my footage on SONY A7S in XAVC S and my export settings are H.264, VBR 1, 16/20.
My PC spec:
Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5 3.9 GHZ
32 GB DRR3,
HDD 2TB, SSD 128GB
GeForce GTX 770 2GB
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64 BIT
I will appreciate any help cos this problem make me sick already

I checked the log file and there are no errors in the file.
There are no ORA- xxxx error messages.
The last line in the log file is as follows:
"Processing object type schema_export/table/index/domain_index/index "
I just checked the export job run this morning and it is still on the same
index object "A685_IX1" . This is a spatial index. It has been sitting at
this same object according to the job status for at least 24 hours.

Extremely long display times for HTML in mail and Safari

Is anyone else experiencing similar lags in HTML rendering?
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am experiencing extremely long render times for display HTML email messages in mail. I am also experiencing extremely long render times in Safari. I have Chrome installed on this same computer, if I goto the same website on Chrome and Safari, Chrome displays the page immediatly, Safari will take between 30sec and 1 minute.

The only way it can get fixed is if you report it to Adobe. Posting it here may not be sufficient. There is an Acrobat feature request forum here and a bug report form here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Using Table.Join formula takes extremly long time to get results.(Why Query Folding doesn't work?)

Hi,
I built a query with 4 tables inside (load from Oracle DB and two of them are quite big, more than millions of rows). After filtering, I tried to build relationships between tables using Table.Join formula. However, the process took extremly long time to
bring out results (I ended the process after 15 mins' processing). There's a status bar kept updating while the query was processing, which is showed as . I suppose
this is because the query folding didn't working, so PQ had to load all the data to local memory first then do the opertion, instead of doing all the work on the source system side. Am I right? If yes, is there any ways to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Extremely long time when executing an export transaction data package link

Hi,
I am working in a packagelink to export transaction data to the application server. The package which I am currently using is /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_APPL. I use it to generate an output file which I later use in a different appliation to register modifications applied in BPC.
It has been working correctly without problems for a time. The problem is that suddenly it stopped working. Maybe because of some changes in the dimension library (is it feasible?) . I defined and scheduled again the packagelink and it began working correctly again, but the time it takes to execute the process is really long. Approximately it takes above 10 hours, which is an extremely long time for the process. In the beginning, the packagelink was executed in an hour and a half. Could anybody tell me any idea about what can be the reason of this problem?
Any help will b much appreciated.

Extremely long data xfer times for table ETXDCH

Hi;
Table ETXDCH takes an extremely long time to transfer. It is infact one of the smallest tables, with very few indexes.
Any Idea why it may be so? I tried changing the read and write behavior but still stuck in progress.
Thanks
Harmeet

Hi Harmeet,
Check from SM50 transaction on what maximum time is being spent. Have you used any scrambling rules here? Is there repeated hits to table CNVMBTRENAME seen from transaction SM50,
