Help: Slow Performance in Captivate 2
I have a new computer running XP Pro SP3 with a fast
processor and 4GB memory.
I am editing a CP movie with 70 slides.
When moving from slide to slide, it takes 3-5 seconds for the
selected slide to appear. During this time, Task Manager says CP is
sucking up 50-70% of CPU.
While ediiting a slide, selecting and editing any object has
similar results: CP goes away for several seconds during which time
no editing is possible.
As an experiment, I created a new movie then imported the old
movie into it. Same result: sluggish operation.
Any suggestions?
TIA!

Transparency like this can tax some systems. I ran into a
similar problem
years ago authoring in an application that has transparent
Flash movies and
transparent png files on the same screen. Only slowed down
one machine.
Updating the graphic card drivers fixed it. You can test for
this by dialing
down graphic hardware acceleration.

MACBOOK: PLS HELP: Slower performance?
Hi there. I've just bought the Macbook Black, Intel Core Duo, 2GHz, 1GB MemoryRam (upgraded), 80GB harddisk, etc etc. I used to have a Powerbook G4.
I'm however disappointed in MacBook. I used some of it's applications, i.e. Comic Strip, iTunes, etc, it was at a reasonable pace, although a tad slower than my old G4. Then I installed MS Office for Mac, and I tried using it's applications, somehow it slowed down considerably. So most applications I use becomes a nightmare coz it takes ages to perform one command! Pls someone tell me, why this is, and what I can do to speed up it's performance?
Another question: when we buy Macbook, is it not supposed to come with all the softwares CDs (Mac OS CD, Apple Applications CDs..etc) too? All I have is the Install CDs.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)Office works faster right now on a PowerBook G4 because it was written for the G4 processor. The new MacBooks use Intel Core Duo processors that are totally different.
Think of it this way. My primary language is English. I can communicate (run programs) quickly and efficiently in English (My Intel-powered MacBook). I know a little spanish (PPC), but I am far from fluent. In spanish, it takes me longer to come up with the right words to say what I want. And if I hear anything, I have to "translate" it in my head and think about the meaning in english. Rosetta is the "program" on the Intel macs that can "translate" programs from PPC to Intel code. There's a bit of a speed hit and it uses a lot of RAM.
If you use PowerPoint a lot, you might think about looking into apple's iWork suite, which includes a powerpoint-like program called Keynote. Keynote can import PowerPoint files and export to PowerPoint, and it is Intel native so it runs quickly.
The "processor whirring" that you are talking about, I believe is the macbook's fan for cooling, or if it is even more quiet, it is probably the hard drive spinning. The processor itself should not make any noise, although there are some reports of the processors or graphics card making a high-pitched "whine" sound, which I wouldn't necessarily describe as "whirring".
Are you in a place with pretty high ambient temperatures? If it is summer where you are, and you're causing high processor use, the fan is more likely to run, but lower use where it idles a lot, such as when typing emails and light web-surfing shouldn't cause the fan to run noisily all the time. In that situation, I think you might want to call AppleCare and see if your computer needs a repair. They can also walk you through the process of resetting the PRAM and power manager, which may help if you're experiencing weird fan and power irregularities.
Personally, although I have installed and updated the Office 2004 suite on my MacBook, I have not used it much since installing, so I can't tell you how it works for me. I haven't had any moments on my computer where it felt very sluggish, but I am using mostly Universal Binary Intel-native programs. Right now I have Mail.app, Safari, iChat, Parallels (the virtual WIndows XP program), iTunes, and Terminal open with 574MB out of my 2GB of RAM free.
I hope that you can solve this problem! -
Help - slowing/performance issues
I've been using imovie with no problems until just recently my little 10 minute movie won't play back properly from the timeline. It looks like it's in slow motion & rebooting my computer doesn't help. Also, when I choose 'extract audio' from a clip, it randomly won't work.
This 'slowing' issue seems to be affecting other programs involving video playback, such as quicktime.
Any suggestions on how to fix these issues??

Slow performance after iOS 7.1 upgrade, please help.
My kids have iPad Airs. One of them has a serious slow down in performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1. The others work fine. It is so slow that it is unusable. When you type a single character, it takes several seconds to show up on the screen. I'm rebooted and did a reset in Settings. Any other ideas? Please help.
I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".
It came to a screen with a USB cable and arrow to iTunes logo. I had to connect to my PC and lanuch iTunes. iTunes recognized the iPad in restore mode. My only option per Apple Support was to restore to factory defaults. It appears all data is lost.
The Apple Support person would not admit that this is a known issue with iOS 7.1 even though you can go online and see that may people have slow performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1. -
Formatted Search with DI leads to a very slow performance - HELP....
Hello There
I have defined some formatted search in OPCH - everything is working fine.
I have added some logic to this form via the DI.(handlling 1 item press_event), and I get a very very slow performance - the ADDON-EXE jumps TO 230MEGA of memory, and entering values to each row in the tables/item in the form takes about 15 seconds.
Any suggestions?
RGDS
HAGAIHi Hagai,
Normally an addon written using the DI would take up 60-80MBs.
Are you filtering out all events except for the item press event for the form? If you are not filtering events then this can have quite a drastic affect on performance.
What logic have you got behind the press event? If the addon exe is ballooning out to 230MB then it suggests that there is either a problem with a memory leak or that an error is occuring in the code. I would recommend putting try/catch clauses at suitable places in the code and maybe specifically setting objects to null and calling the .NET garbage collector to try and minimise the potential for memory leaks.
Are you sure that it is the combination of the formatted search and the addon that is causing the problem, i.e. if you take away the formatted search but leave the addon do you still get poor performance or does everything speed up?
Hope this helps,

SLOW Query ... Need help improving performance
Database: Oracle 8i
Note: I don't have a whole lot of experience with writing queries, so please forgive me for any dumb mistakes I most likely made.
I have a query in which I have a SUM in two levels. I think this is probably the root cause of the very slow performance of the query. However, I just don't see any way around it, and can't come up with any other ways to speed up the query. The query itself only returns one line, the summary line. And, by slow, I mean it can take up to an hour or two. This is a query I need to run multiple times, based on some parameters that I cannot query from a database.
The query basically calculates the current unit cost of a part. It has to sum up the issue cost of the part (cost of material issued to the part's order), the actual dollars put into a part (labor, etc.), and the burden dollars associated with the part. This sum has to be divided by the total quantity of parts completed on the part's order to get the unit cost. I have to account for the possibility that the quantity complete is 0, so that I don't end up dividing by 0.
Below is my query, and sample data for it:
SELECT a.part_nbr
, a.mo_nbr
, a.unit_iss_cost
, CASE
WHEN a.qty_complete_ind ='Nonzero'
THEN SUM(a.act_dlrs/a.qty_complete)
ELSE 0
END AS unit_dlrs
, CASE
WHEN a.qty_complete_ind ='Zero'
THEN SUM(a.act_dlrs)
ELSE 0
END AS qty_0_dlrs

act.tool_dlrs_earned +
act.act_fix_brdn_dls_ea
) AS act_dlrs

Thanks in advance!For diagnosing where the time of your query is being spent, we don't need create table and insert statements. If we execute your query with only a handful of rows, the query will be very fast. What we do need to know, is the plan the optimizer takes to compute your result set, and the cardinalities of each step.
Please read When your query takes too long ... carefully and post the full explain plan and tkprof output.

Slow performance of discoverer portlets
Hi,
I am running into slow performance of a particular page in portal, there are multiple sites hosted on the portal but these all have static text and are very quick to load but the one page with discoverer portlets and a web-clippping portlet is taking ages. If I run these reports on their own they are instant. Has anyone had similar problems with 9.0.2 portal and the discoverer reports ? I tried to identify a particular report that may be the culprit by deleting them one by one and to no avail. After a few hours effort I found the design mode was hanging as well. Again, just for this 1 page.
There are 3 tabs on this page with about 4 report portlets and 1 web-clipping portlet.
Thanks for any help,
BrandonThanks for the help.
Seems to have been resolved although I'm not sure if thats the end of the story. Will wait and see.....
So far apparently a port conflict of some sort in the discoverer config was causing it to hang and then also other system demands on the network and server housing the discoverer end-user layer were also causing problems.
No error messages unfortunately...... -
Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all
This is a DELL PowerEdge R820 / 256GB RAM / 4TB onboard storage configured as Remote Desktop Services Host /TS... running QuickBooks, MS Office 2010 STD, Symantec EndPoint Protection (basic antivirus installation ONLY)... 1 month old server... SUPER fast,
super powerfull.... Part of an AD in SBS 2008 Premium... single NIC card 4 ports / 3 ports disabled. single IP... no VLANS... server is able to resolve ANY pc, DNS record with no problems... able to resolve DC by name, able to receive GP, able to update, able
to do everything that I can think of.... EXCEPT... anything I open, word, excel, QuickBooks, IE.... takes forever to open... after the application is open is fast but to open anything takes 3-4 minutes.... open ticket with Symantec all looks good, created
lots of exceptions for antivirus/real time scanning, open ticket with QuickBooks: files look good application was removed and reinstalled to be sure all was done correctly... check the binding order for the disabled NIC; the active one is TOP option, no errors
at all in event viewers for system, application, setup, no errors at all in DELL management tool, no hard drive errors, no controllers errors.... this server is replacing an old dell poweredge 2008 STD with 24GB RAM... the old DELL opens the same applications
way faster than the new one... same Quicken version; old server opens Quicken in seconds, new one 3-4 minutes..... Real time monitoring NEVER goes above 1% for CPU and 3% for memory utilization.... one more thing... removed antivirus 100% restart... same performance
without antivirus.....
Any ideas will be great as of how to troubleshoot the slow performance....
Thank you!Hi,
As Sam suggested, please check if there any issue occurred in hard drive.
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and troubleshoot, then check if we can find more
clues.
Please check if you have installed all necessary updates for the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if there has software conflicts.
Please use Resource Monitor to troubleshoot and check if we can find some more details.

Slow performance, brand new iMac!
Hello!
First, excuse my rusty English.. I hope you manage to read it
Main problem.. Adobe, PhaseOne and other intensive applications is veeeery slow on a high specced brand new iMac! Lightroom 5, PS CC and Capture One Pro 7 is what I use mostly.
I just got my brand new iMac 2014.2 (3.5/3.9 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 512GB flash disk and GTX780M), and its quite a lot slower than my other Win7 workstation. Other workstation specs: i7 4.2 GHz, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, GTX 580. I'm working on the same Raid-5 drive (USB-3) too, so I don't know why it's slower..
What I experience:
Changing from "current" raw to next raw (while culling) takes several seconds, and my Raid-5 is done chewing long before I see the result on my monitor. I get the spinning beach ball while waiting for preview. I always render 1:1 on import and 1:1+standard size in menu, just to be sure. Adjustment brush is like dodging in PS v1.0 (NOT CS) when computers had less disk-space than we have cpu-cache today, awfully slow, and it "stutters". Moving/panning in 1:1 is very choppy, and sometimes I get the spinning beach ball while panning.. This happens in LR and CO.. Photoshop CC stutters or have to "think" when I try panning. These problems happens in 6 Mpix, 12 Mpix or 25 Mpix RAW files, and actually in some JPEGs too!
I have done following:
I've tried 2003 and 2010 processing in LR, small change. Fixed permissions in OS X. Removed preferences for LR, CO and PS CC. Reinstalled LR/cloud apps and Capture One Pro 7. Increased camera raw cache from 15 to 50 GB. Followed Adobe's guide to make LR faster. Followed Capture One guides. Reinstalled (clean install) of OS X. I've tried all tips I could find in the forums around.. I have also tried placing RAW files on internal 512 GB disk to see if that helps on performance, but no change. Same story with camera raw cache, doesn't matter where it is.
Additional things.. I’ve also diagnosed the iMac with checkdisk, memcheck, logs, etc.. No problems as far as I can see.
I just changed my workflow from Win to OS X and I depend on this to work.. I currently have 4000 files from my last job waiting to be worked on, and I'm not finished until Christmas in this tempo :-(
If I can't get this working very soon, then I have to return this very expensive iMac and buy a new PC again..Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
Slow Performance - Java Related?
This is an old box that I bought used recently, but the system install is recent. The system performs very slowly - about 50% of the speed of comparable Mac's in the XBench database. If I use Xupport to manully run "All" of the system maintenance crons I get some improvement, but it quickly goes back to being slow.
Looking at my logs I have a "boat load" of Java errors under CrashReporter; there will be a string of "JavaNativeCrash_pidXXX.log" entries - many of them, as follows:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : Bus Error occurred at PC=0x908611EC
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.
Many of the line entries that follow, but not all of them, refer to SargentD2OL, which is a Java app, which I installed, but it did not work properly so I removed it. Yet I continue to get Java errors that refer to this now non-existant app.
I have read that Java apps use a lot of resources, and that D2OL in particular uses a lot of resources. Can my slow performance problem be Java related? If so, any idea of how I can fix this problem?
G4 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500 MHz, 512M RAMSorry to take so long to respond, but other issues in life have demanded my attention.
None of the solutions given have had any affect. My Java folder has both a 1.3.1 and a 1.4.2 app - the Java Update 2 will not reinstall because it sees an up-to-date app in the folder. But reading the update file it says the older Java will be removed - but it is still there. Problem?
On XBench the system scores a 9 to 10, while similar boxes on the XBench database score around 18 to 20. My cpu, memory, and video scores are very low. The HD through-put scores are the only ones that are normal. TechTool Pro 4 finds no problems. I have removed the memory sticks one at a time and retested after each cycle - no difference.
I have two drives, each with a 10.3.9 install. One works fine, scores around a 17 on XBench, the other scores a 9 to 10. So it appears to be a software problem. The slower install is a drive from a iMac G3 that has been moved to the G4 - are there issues with this?
My favored drive is the prior G3 one (newer and faster than the other drive that system tests faster in XBench) - it has my profile and all my info on it. It worked fine in the G3 - no problems.
Thanks for the help,

Slow Performance Forms 10g !!!!
Hi,
I have migrated several forms from 6i to 10g and i use a 11g Database.
Most of the users accessing from different countries complain of slow performance but the basic idea of migration is to get a better performance. My users mostly work on laptops.
I am unable to find where the problem is. Is this might be due to network traffic since they are accessing via internet or any server related issues. Please help me to find and fix the problem and is there any tips for gaining better performance in using forms 10g.
Regards,
SureshSo, were they running on 6i via laptop and accessing via the internet before you migrated ? (ie: was it 6i client server or 6i web forms)
Did you migrate the database too ?
Slow performance as in : it used to be seconds and now it's taking minutes ?

The bandwidth is meant for 4 concurrent phone conversations so adjust up as needed. The priority is based on my own testing so take it as you may.
The most important statement is "fair-queue 256", by default you only get 16 queues. Allowing for 256 queues only uses a modest amount of memory so its a simple low impact choice for the router and allows more conversations between devices without interruption.
Upping the number of queues in your policy would be the best and most important item for your performance problem, next of couse to coercing EIGRP to load balance the T1s properly.

P.S. Create a loopback interface for the ip unnumbered use, cause if the Fa0/0 goes down everything goes down and you can't telnet in from anywhere to look at it. Eliminate the following items from the config by using "no" in fromt of them, a bit of research will tell you why, and start you toward eliminating a few other items.

Slow Performance when program was once 100% proficient
I am working on a 2011 Macbook Pro - OS X version 10.9.5
For over a year I have been working in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on this computer with no issues. Recently the program began running EXTREMELY slow - for example., taking well over an hour to render video that previously would render in only a minute or two. Went to Apple - thinking it was my MAC - diagnostics on the MAC show the computer itself is fine.
Purchased Premiere Elements 13 (liked the new features and offerings) and was naively hoping it would fix my slow performance issue.
But program is still running horribly slow.
Any suggestions or similar issues?laurabodey
Premiere Elements 11 or 13 on Mac Computer.
Which program do you want to troubleshoot first?
Let us assume Premiere Elements 11....
1. Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk
Where are the Scratch Disk pointing and how much free space is at that location
Please assure a clean up of any pile ups of any preview files (Adobe Premiere Elements Previews File Folder), conformed audio files (Media Cache Files Folder), and conformed audio (best cleaned out through Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database area Clean button.
2. Download, install, and run the free ccleaner.

3. How much installed RAM does you computer have? Are your source media stored on external hard drive (with the appropriate formatting for Mac)?
4. Does the information in online articles such as the following make any impact on your situation?
Seven ways to free up drive space | Macworld
Let us start here and then decide what next.
I am strictly and Elements Windows user who tries to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to address some of these issue. So, I am
not all that great on Mac locations. Please help me translate from Windows to Mac if necessary.
We will be watching for your results.

Slow performance on characteristic dimension filter
Hi folks, I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot something. We have a report in a cube that's been in production and stable for a while (a year or more). We're getting some complaints about slow performance, and I'm noticing that it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the selection screen to refresh with possible values for one of the characteristics of the Material dimension. The characteristic only has 3 possible values for my selection. I would expect it to take more like 1 or 2 minutes. What should I look at to find the cause? We're running BEx with version 3.0B of Business Warehouse.
Carolyn,
In the properties for the characteristic - set it to read data from the dimension table - this can be done from the BeX tab for the infoobject or from WAD if you are using a web template or from the properties in the characteristic in BeX..

Slow performance on Intel Mac a damaged disk?
Hi,
I'm experiencing very slow performance on my Intel Mac 216 Ghz core duo, with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Running OS 10.6.8. Have been experiencing reduced performance, can't use Entourage email or Chrome, Firefox browsers at the same time. Ran Utilities to repair permissions, only a Java set of issues. Disk Utilities found no problems with the disk. Have experienced this issue increasingly for 5-6 months. Using Activity Window i see that Entourage, Word, Safari, Chrome, even System Preferences pane sometimes "Is not responding". Other system services take longer than before.
Apple support had me get larger RAM chip. Now have 2GB Ram. Upgraded to OS 10.6.8 with no improvement. Ran Software Update several times.
I have no anti virus software, have disabled Spotlight and any other memory demanding software. I'm on a in-home wi-fi network on an Airport Extreme.
In addition, at startup it takes 15+ seconds for the keyboard (wired) typing to show in the log on field. Running a single account with Admin access. Screen refreshes slow at times. Currently running is Safe Boot mode but that's not helping much.
Read on this board discussion 23238910 to use Terminal Window to do a syslog comand. The results in the Text Edit reads

I need to resolve the issue as it's killing my time!
Thanks for any suggestions.It does not sound good for your disk drive.
I suggest you backup everything to an external disk drive ASAP.
