Firefox is lagging between 1-5 second intervalls

I am using MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 with 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4Gb RAM. Firefox version 5.0.1.
The browser keeps lagging for 0,5 seconds between 1-5 seconds. It is very disturbing.

This sounds like the usual delay between tracks. There are lots of reasons for the delay, but the biggest culprit of all is the abstraction layer programming in DVDSP which adds all kinds of navigation for you 'under the hood'. The net result is that there is a lot of moving around the disc done by the player before it can get to the actual destination you need it to get to. The delay is different in different players, too.
I am wondering why you are using different tracks, though. Can you not simply put all of the footage into the same track and use markers to split it? This way there is no need for the player to find a new track... just move along the one it has got lined up already. You will find it a lot easier to get things timed correctly if you did it this way.

  • Banshee 1.6.1: Lag between songs Solved

    EDIT: Banshee now appears to function correctly with the latest upgrade to sqlite3-3.7.1-1.
    EDIT: The workaround to fix the lag is to downgrade SQLite from v3.7 to v3.6 - thanks Halfdream
    I've been trying to solve a problem I've been having since yesterday with Banshee, it has become extremely laggy. It lags ~25 seconds at start up with a blank frozen window. Then once I can start selecting songs, it lags additionally between each song.
    I've tried fully removing Banshee and removing ~/.config/banshee-1 & ~/.gconf/apps/banshee-1. After reinstallation of Banshee, it starts up beautifully with no lag. I imported around 5 Artists, works great. However once I keep adding songs (I was manually importing each Artist folder), the lag began to increase with each additional import. By the time I got to ~ 2000 songs, it was at around the same amount of lag I was encountering before. I've tried disabling all extensions with no luck.
    It may be important to note that this lag between songs occurs longer when I am playing an on shuffle. If I turn off shuffle the lag decreases between individual songs - but it's still noticable.
    Here's a debug log of Banshee after starting and switching a couple songs.
    I'm not sure what this is -> "[1 Debug 10:35:35.796] TrackInfoDisplay RenderAnimation: 4.00 FPS" but the FPS does seems to drop significantly each time a new song is played.

  • Lag between Sky +HD box and Sky Multiroom box

    I've just started using a +HD box on our main TV and a standard non-HD Multiroom box in the kitchen. Yesterday we started noticing a time lag between the two of them whereas before we had the HD box, it was fine. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

  • Firefox stops responding after approximately 10 seconds

    Every time I open firefox it hangs after about 10 seconds and can only be closed with task manager. Task manager does not report that the application is not responding. No other applications seem to suffer from the same problem

    I am also having major problems with the Firefox upgrade. Mines freezes up (says not responding) before I even try to open anything. I cannot view any videos on YouTube nor can I watch movies on Netflix (you need the Firefox browser to stream movies). Everything was working just fine until I did the upgrade.

  • Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start even after reinstalling.

    Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start. I have tried reinstalling with no change. It isn't antivirus software, as I turned that off and it was still slow. I run Vista Ultimate. Internet Explorer loads very quickly.

    I wish my Firefox would load in 16 seconds!! It takes 3 to 4 mins to load but closes almost instantly.

  • When I select an object it lags for about 8 seconds.

    When I select an object it lags for about 8 seconds. It doesnt happen when I click & drag to select, only a direct selection. Using a brand new iMac, and CC straight out of the box. Any help would be much appreciated!

    SOLVED!!!!!!!!!
    I googled again and found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2245329?start=0&tstart=0
    It was a little feature called "Right Zoom" that was causing the issue. It maximises windows fully when you click on the green button (because Apple only maximises a window to the full width needed for that window, not to the whole screen).
    I trashed it, and now Illustrator is working properly.
    Thank you to everyone for all your help! (I did try all the suggestions above).
    No computers were harmed in the making of this thread ;-)

  • Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

    Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

    You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
    Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

  • Half second delay using pen tool. Lag between mouse up and when point appears on screen

    Regarding the pen tool, using Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 on a PC— There is a half second delay between the moment I click the mouse and when the path point shows up. I've disabled the tablet input service on my computer, which worked, after a restart, but eventually this delay starts happens again. This is immensely inconvenient and I need a permanent solution. If anyone has any sort of answer please tell me. I will try anything.

    I am experiencing the same problem. It's very annoying! The issue comes and goes... some days it works like it should, some days it's lagging. I couldnt figure out why so far, neither could the adobe support via chat...
    Here's a video showing the issue. Make sure to watch in 720p and turn on the volume, so you can hear when I click.

    Hi billyboy95,
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

  • Firefox interface lags badly (switching tabs, opening menus) , even in safe mode.

    Switching between tabs, playing GIFs, playing YouTube videos, typing text and opening the Firefox menu are sometimes laggy.
    For example, sometimes when I click on a tab to view it, there will be a delay of a second before its contents are shown.
    I tried Google Chrome and it doesn't have this lag. My computer is pretty powerful.
    I tried safe mode, but the problem was present there, too.
    I tried clearing the cache, but no luck.
    I'm not sure what else to say, so if you would like more information, please just ask! Thank you.

    Hi amacfie,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.

     I built a new system last month (my first AMD) and I am having a really aggravating problem. In all games and all video playback I get an annoying skip once per second, every second. It affects sound during gameplay but not during movie or mp3 playback. It even happens with the visualization mode in Windows Media Player.
    My system is as follows: MSI K8N Neo4-F, A64 3200+ venice core, MSI 6800GT 256MB PCI-E, two sticks of Corsair valueselect DDR400 512MB each, 500 watt PS, 160GB 7200 SATA HDD. Most recent NVIDIA drivers for everything. WinXP Pro with SP2 and all updates, DX9C. Nothing overclocked, all settings standard.
    I have tried the following solutions:
    1) BIOS upgrades, started with 1.4, installed 1.5, MSI tech support gave me 1.6b2 and I installed that. No luck with any of them.
    2) Memory, installed per MSI directions, but I've tried all legal combinations, including one stick at a time. No change.
    3) full format and reinstall of WinXP. No luck.
    4) Switching between WinXP IDE drivers and NVidia drivers, with and without RAID drivers, No luck.
    5) Removal of 6800GT PCI-E card and replacing with Ancient 8MB PCI Permedia2 video card. Problem still persists.
    6) Disable onboard sound and LAN. No luck.
    7) Running Fedora core 4 on second partition. Installed Nvidia video drivers, tried some games. THIS WORKS! No hitch, no skip, no nothing. Framerates are noticably slower but very stable. In WinXP I saw framerates bounce all over the place, from 230 FPS down to about 70 with one game. That same game on Linux ran smoothly at about 166 FPS with only occasional slight drops. The big FPS drops in Windows usually came right after one of the skips but didn't occure after every skip.
    Right now I'm stumped. Linux uses totally different drivers for sound, LAN and SATA support. Some of those drivers don't fully use the Nforce4 chipset's features, maybe that's part of the difference.

    Thanks TireSmoke:
    I had found that sticky, but I took your advice and went thorugh it in detail last night.  Lots of great info, fixes tweaks and tools, sadly none of them fixed my problem.  The lag problem most people are reporting is not really like the wierd problem I am having.  I have tried the recoommended fixes with ablsolutely no change in my system's behavior.
    I am beginning to suspect a faulty motherboard component.

    I think you are correct about fast writes.  I googled the heck out of that last night and couldn't find any reference to enabling or disabling fast writes on PCI-E.
    The drive is SATA-1.  The Neo4-F is not SATA-2 enabled (there is a hack for it though).  From memory I think it's a Western Digital WD1600-something, 7200 RPM dirve.  I've tried it on both SATA buses and tried disabling the unused bus in BIOS.
    I'm pretty sure I can dig up an old PATA drive somewhere and give that a try.
    Gpalmer:
    True enough, and I don't have these problems under Fedora.  Sadly this is a cross-platform game development box, I need both XP and Fedora working.
    Black_God:
    Nope, this is a clean install.  Although I wonder, could any of the built in XP update and security tools be causing this?  I have disabled Windows firewall and virus protection monitoring.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 won't open under WinXP. Have uninstalled/reinstalled several times. When I start the program (including safe mode) I see a Firefox process appear for about 3 seconds, then disappear. Run full scan with Norton with no malware discovered.

    I've used Firefox for years with no problems. I've not installed any new extensions or programs between the time it worked great and when the problem began.
    I click to start FF (shortcut, directly on program file, etc.) and I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds like it's starting, then nada. As mentioned, I see FF show up as a process in Task Manager for about 3 seconds, then disappear.
    Solutions I've tried include: Uninstall/reinstall on the same drive and a separate drive, registry cleanup/optimization w/Norton Utilities, full scan for malware/viruses with Norton, stopping some autostartup programs that were installed and in use while FF was running fine.

  • In Firefox now there is a 5 second screen delay in keyboard entry appearing on the screen (in Gmail). Much disk activity during this delay. This began about 10 days ago.

    In Firefox only there is now a 5 second screen delay between keyboard entry and the input appearing on the screen (in Google Docs Gmail). There is much disk activity during this delay. This began about 10 days ago. The start may have began concurrent with a Firefox update. I have been using Firefox for years. This problem is not present when I run the same functions in IE

    Nope, that's fine.
    The MSI rep I forwarded this to said that he has forwarded on-ward as he did not have a GE40 for testing at the time.
    He did also agree and seem to think there is a problem with the EC that would cause this issue.
    I expect he may post here once a fix has been found.
    Thanks!
    I'll wait. I think it is clear that the problem goes away when I restart laptop, and also after changing and accepting settings in Control Panel -> Keyboard. But next fn + func. key will again cause default settings
