Loading time of splash screen verus initial siena created splash screen

Hi everyone,
I have a load issue on windows surface RT device with a seina app. I need some insight on trying to decrease load time. This new app has about 2000 images and growing and each image is optimized to be about 20 kb. This app is for reference
when training in specific disciplines. The source is an excel file and the images are downloaded locally when published.
I have two splash screens, the initial splash screen that loads via the default html webpage of the app. The other is a siena screen visual that I call an extended splash screen with the usual timer and rating control. The extended splash screen set
for 2 seconds loads the default settings to be used every time the app loads. The settings are saved to file when the user changes the configuration. This all works are designed.
The app loads within 5-7 seconds on a laptop but takes between 25 - 30 seconds to load on the surface device. I know the initial surface is somewhat slow device but I have tweaked the surface to squeeze every cpu cycle I can during the testing and
analysis stage.
The initial default splash screen takes about 17 - 21 seconds to load. I have tried tweaking as much as possible by removing some visuals on the extended splash screen down to 3, picture, timer, rating. I don't think the extended splash
screen is the issue as this part loads within 7-9 seconds to load.
Can someone explain or provide some insight on the load process during the initial phase on the splash screen, like is the app loading the source data from excel, initializing all the scripts, loading itself into memory, etc... This will allow me to build
more efficient apps with siena.
Thanks,
William

Hi
I cant really give you an technical insight on the load process, but I have noticed that if I have multiple timers and or gallery's (15 +) (I suspect more timers that gallery's) in my app load time was very slow on ARM devices.
Again not sure if this applies to your app but might help point you towards the issue.

Loading time is extremely long - Any way to create a database?

I'm cutting a feature using Premiere CC. There are over 6,000 files in the project including video (ProRes Proxy) and audio files (wavs). The project currently takes over ten minutes to load, then once loaded my system is extremely slow. I am running a 2.2 i7, Radeon HD 6750M 1024mb, w/ 8 gigs of ram on a macbook pro. Is there anyway to create a database of some sort so the file loading time doesn't take so long? Or is there anything I can do to speed up the loading time in general?
Thank you.

If I may be so bold as to offer workflow advice? When working with an underpowered computer, there are ways to work around the RAM issues and the slow processor.
Break up the project into various sections. Work on the intro and the credits in one project, work on indoor scenes in another, outdoor in another, or some other manner that allows you to use multiple projects. When you are done with a section, or a scene, or whatever, you can nest the main sequence and import that new sequence into the "main" project where you can then assemble all of the parts.
If you really need to go back and make adjustments, just reopen the original project for that sequence and do what you need to do. Then delete the sequence in the "main" project and import it again. Or, instead of doing that, just export each project's main sequence and combine the clips into one new project. You would not use this method for the final export, but it will save you the hassle of importing sequences over and over if you are changing things a lot. When it all looks good, then import all of the projects into one project and combine the sequences into your movie.
Keep in mind that a Premiere Pro project is just an XML file and all of the text has to be read into the program, basically one line at a time. So keep the number of lines to a minimum. Even in CC, it is still XML, just zipped up.

Slow initial load time - URGENT

I created some business component forms in jdeveloper 3.2.3. For some reason, it takes 15 seconds to load any of the forms for the first time (afterwards, it only takes 2 seconds). I get the same timings regardless of the number of rowsets I use.
It takes 15 secs for a screen with 1 rowset and for a screen with 5 rowsets. It also is slow running in jdeveloper and in production.
That is unacceptable for my end users (they are ready to reject the project because of it).
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs (which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation.
Is there any way to speed up the initial load?
TIA.

If this is a wizard generated form, was there any modification made ?. The jbInit
code by default sets up the InfoProducer objects. The ApplicationModule is then
created and queries executed when the publisSession method is called on the SessionInfo
object. This publishSession by default happens after the jbInit code. I would imagine
the publishSession method to take more time in comparision to jbInit code which
typically instantiates the UI elements and creates your form. Is there any other
setup that happens in jbinit ?.
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs
(which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation. Could you provide more info., on what you mean by navigation ?. Is is the setup of
the navigation bar and menu you are referring to ?.

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

I recently upgraded to 10.6.7 and Safari 5.05. Safari now has a long load time when you initially boot it up and when selecting a new tab. Other than that it works fine. What can I do ?

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

I'm having the same problem. Dreamweaver is supper slow. Uploading and downloads from the server... any server I use two different servers. It times out all the time. Menus are slow too.
I'm on a MAC Pro, 6 gigs of ram no issues with anything else. I have talked to Apple they have checked everything for me. They say it's Dreamweaver. I've noticed the Dreamweaver is talking to the FTP even when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried cleaning out my MAC caches, turning off file check and check out. Still really slow. I've worked with Dreamweaver for 6 years never any issues like this before. 18 seconds to upload a 4 kb file. 11 seconds to download the same file.

SLOW LOADING TIME TO HOME MENU SCREEN

I've started to noticed increased loading time to my home menu screen whenever I'm using any application. This occurs even when I'm in the Contacts app, SMS app, or any 3rd-party app. Previously before I began to experience this slow lag time, the home menu screen would pop up as soon as I hit the home button. I did a hard reset (Erased All Content and Settings) and the problems still occurs even before I re-installed all of my applications. Anyone else experience this? I do hope the upcoming bug software fix will remedy this annoying problem, along with the lag time in the Contacts app.

Reduce Flex application initial loading time

Comparing to HTML, Flex's initial load time is very long. How
to reduce the initial loading time to the level that is
comparable to HTML's loading time for the page content? Any
best practice or rules to follow?

Ok, OK! What's the specs?
How long is the load time? Please don't say "very long".
Let's see the spec. Oh, and can you give me a load time for the
mythologocal HTML page in question, just so I can compare?
I gotta tell ya, I sometimes take a nap when I'm loading half
the ASP pages I stumble across nowadays.
Here's a page from the Los Angeles times--html--- coming in @
6-7 seconds.

Another example: from CNN.com, coming in at about 10-11
seconds. Unbelievable.

Java SP's - Initial Load Time!

FYI, We are running Oracle 8.1.7 on HP/UX 11.0 using Java Stored Procedures.
The Java stored procedures work fine (sub-second performance) after being loaded into memory, but the initial load time can be anywhere from 2 to 3 seconds. When you have 30+ Java stored procedures, the initial startup causes table locking and contention that will cause our app to crash.
Rewriting these Java SP's in PL/SQL shows that PL/SQL is immune to this initial load time (to a much lesser degree). Besides rewriting my application to read all of the Java SP's into memory before app startup, is there anything I can do on the Oracle server side to improve (or eliminate) load times for Java Stored Procedures?
Thanks!

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

How can I speed up loading time on Android?

Hello!
I'm creating an AIR app for Android and I've run into an issue with the loading time: when the user first clicks on the icon, there's 10 seconds of black screen before the first screen of my app appears. At least this happens on older Android devices. The delay is only a second or two on newer devices. I know this question has been asked before:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/764981
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4035208#4035208
http://zehfernando.com/2011/a-mobile-air-application-post-mortem/
But I haven't been able to find an answer that's worked for me. I've tried a a preloader and I've found that even loading the tiniest app takes around 10 seconds. This is how long it took me to load an app that was just a single frame with a simple rectangle image in it. From what I've read, the issue is that the Android device is loading the AIR runtime, and this takes time - no matter how small the actual app is. I should add that I'm using captive runtime.
I'm OK with the performance on new Android devices but, as far as I can tell, Android is so fragmented that many people are still running older devices and OS versions. So, I'd like to provide a good user experience on older devices. I think a ten second wait is just too long and will kill the entire experience for many people.
Is there any update on this? Does anyone have a solution?
If I can't improve the loading time, I think I'll try to only make the app available for newer devices.
I've heard people taking about creating 'native wrapper' and somehow embedding their swf file in native code that has a loading screen. Has anyone got something like this work? I'm currently reading up on Android splash screens in native code. They seem relatively simple to create. I hope I can somehow embed my swf in a native program with a splash screen. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Anton,
Yes, I tried launching an empty project with just one frame and a simple rectange image embedded in it. This also took 10 seconds to load. Yes, I'm using AIR 4.0 as well. As far as I can tell, the issue is AIR itself is taking time to load onto the device - and this is independent of what I put in my program. I think I have three options:
1. learn to live with the delay
2. decide it's too long and not support older Android devices with my app
3. figure out if I can embed my swf in a "native wrapper" as suggested in one of my original three links.
I'm hoping to do 3, but I don't know if it's possible.

Load time for a 1hr m2v and wav timeline

Hardware: Intel P4 3.2ghz, 3GB ram, Nvidia FX 5700, Asus P4C800 mobo, m-audio delta-66 sound
I'm experiencing a lengthy wait time to load a 1hr video and sound track as timeline. It has been loading for over 25 minutes now and thelittle splash screen reports over an hour to go... as I write this note.
I'm curious if that is about normal an this kind of hardware? I ask because I loaded the same video and sound file into DVD architect in less than a minute. and I've had really bad trouble with Encore CS4 crashing repeatedly. Or locking up and having to be killed.
I moved the whole shooting match to a different machine and am able to at least run Encore, but wondered if the lengthy load time is a signe of trouble on this machine too.
Oh, and nothing else going on while the video is loading... (just normal stuff running as always)

Tell us about the I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type and how they are allocated. The operation of Importing is highly dependent on the I/O.
I forgot to mention the OS too. WinXP pro sp/3
HDD:
1 IDE 250 GB partition1 65 GB OS, partition2 185 GB data
2 Sata 200 GB No partitions
All are 7200 rpm (or whatever the 7200 stands for)
The work is located on 1st sata drive (E)
Common stuff for the hardware its on. Also I recall loading stuff in `the blink of an eye' when I was using CS2 Encore (On this same machine, but no longer no installed)
I see a monster thread here about Nvidia cards and Encore crashing. I do have an Nvidia FX 5700 as mentioned earlier, and it has the latest drivers available at nvidia site.
Also I have hardware acceleration set at 50 percent... Encore will not run with it set 100 percent.
Acceration itself should not come into play when importing right?

Udev startup load time doesnt appear anymore

I installed some packages (splashy etc) wich created a lot of pacsave files and messed up my system pretty much. But nothing couldnt handle.
Exept this: udev doesnt show the overal loading time anymore it skips to the next operation.
I checked /etc/start_udev script and I saw in the bottom
echo "udev startup is finished! - time = $(( `date +%s` - $starttime ))"
exit 0
which I think is the code for the loading time to show up but it is not executed somehow.
Can somethink like that can be fixed?

i think this is done by rc.sysinit which belongs to the initscript package. i do not use splashy but i can see it depends on initscripts-splash so that could be the reason.
