Has anybody else noticed a 10-25% openGL slow down with 10.7.5?

Hi,  I was running x-plane 9.70 at certain settings on my 17" MBP (early 2011, 10.7.3) and noticed I was getting about 70 fps... nice.  I do an update on firmware and OS (10.7.5) and I notice that the x-plane fps has dropped to about 55. The settings and environment the same as near as I can get.  I thought this was bad but maybe just x-plane or something peculiar.  I also couldn't tell if the performance drop was caused by the firmware update or the OS update. 
I remembered I'd done an xbench benchmark with 10.7.3 so I did a new one with the updates... sure enough the openGL numbers had dropped by 20% or so.  So, I hooked up my backup drive with 10.7.3 on it and ran x-plane and xbench again to try to isolate the firmware update from the OS update.... The results were x-plane still showed a drop of about 10% and xbench about 25%.  Looks like there is something wrong in 10.7.5.
Has anybody else noticed a performance slow down in openGL functions with 10.7.5?

Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

  • Has anybody else noticed that Find/Change searched according to -

    Has anybody else noticed that Find/Change searched according to date added?  It doesn't go page by page — it searches in the ORDER that text was added to a document.
    For instance, if you started with Pages 300-400, then added text to page 200, then added text to pages 100-200, THAT IS THE ORDER Find/Change will search.  Crazy, no?
    By the way, does anyone know how to FORCE Find/Change to always center a spread?  Currently, it moves the various pages all over the place during a search …

    We are using Exchange 2010 and IOS 6.0.1 and seeing this issue with exceptions associated to recurring meetings on both the iPad and iPhone. 
    Oddly, you can make the first change (time of meeting, for example) to an exception in the series and have the change sync from Outlook 2010 to the iPad. If you attempt to make a second change to the same exception, the 2nd change does not sync to the IOS device.  Thoughts?

  • Has anybody else noticed burn marks on bottom of screen?

    I have 2 Macbook pro's non-unibody previous models and on both of them I have noticed charred marks on the bottom of the screen (silver portion) and on the bar that connects the screen to the body.

    Take it into an Apple store or AASP.

  • Has anybody else been having trouble with there iPhone 4s randomly freezing and only unfreezing to shut down because the battery is dead?

    I have been using my iPhone 4s a lot mainly for email and to text my friends. I have also noticed that my iphone seems to have recently begun freezing up. It's done this a number of times, and ive only noticed it happen after i updated the software to 5.1 version. Has anybody else been having this problem? I have takin good care of my iphone, and I care to know why my 300 dollar phone is currently being out done by any 20 dollar walgreens phone that I have had in the past.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?

    I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures. 
    If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close.  What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher.  It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on. 
    If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature.  Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work). 
    Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described?  I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end.  Thanks in advance.

    After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4222231
    This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
    Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the iOS 6 Maps App is missing the area code for many places it has listed?

    If I try to look up a local business on the Maps App it drops a pin on all of the locations matching my search parameters. However, when I get details about a dropped pin, the phone number is usually missing the area code! For example, if the phone number is +1 (123) 555-5555 it would show up as +1 (555) 555-5. This makes it impossible to call directly from the maps app or to copy and paste infront of a manually entered area code (because of the '+1'). Has anyone else noticed this?

    Have you checked to make sure that your region settings are correct?

  • I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before.  Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

    I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before.  Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

    Did you try different headphones!?
    If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
    Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
    There's a slider for L-R
    If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
    If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
    Try these steps and it will solve your question

  • App store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me has anyone else noticed this?

    The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?

    Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
    As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
    Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

  • Has anyone else noticed that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x exhibits odd behavior compared to version 6.x?

    I have found no discussion of this subject on Adobe's forums, so I am asking here. I find that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x's "auto" mode frequently produces overexposed images with lots of blowouts necessitating much more manual tweaking than was required with the older 6.x series of plug-ins. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

  • In FF29.0 bookmarks on the menu bar stop working correctly after exiting 'Customize': has anyone else noticed this?

    Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
    (Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
    Many thanks.
