Long Delay on Everything in Flash

I Have Flash CS4 and a pretty decent system with Vista and 3 GB of RAM. However, whenever I click on anything in Flash, it takes about 3 or 4 seconds for it to become active. If I click a keyframe, the stage won't come up for 3-4 seconds, if I click the text tool, the cross hairs won't come up for 3-4 seconds, etc. It has been like this since I installed it...I am just finally getting my full of it.
Is this normal behavior? If not, any suggestions on what might be causing it?
Thank you.
Dave

many users see a significant different between cs3 and cs4 (with cs4 having weaker perfomance). that said, to have problems to the degree you're having would usually require a pretty large fla (say 100mb). is your fla large?

Long delay during first resize of visible JFrame (help!)

I need to increase the size of a component in a visible JFrame (and with it the size of the frame itself). The way I did this using jdk 1.3.1 causes a problem in 1.4.0 and 1.4.1.
When a component in a visible JFrame (such as a JPanel) is resized - using a setPreferredSize()-pack() sequence, there is a VERY long delay (~ 5 seconds) before the frame is fully redrawn. This only occurs the FIRST time the component is resized. Subsequent setPreferredSize()-pack() sequences take a reasonable amount of time.
Here's a simple example:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PackDelayTest extends JFrame {
    JPanel pan;
    int width;
    static long tm;
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
            tm = System.currentTimeMillis();
        PackDelayTest2 test = new PackDelayTest();
            elapsed("in constructor");
        test.replace(); elapsed("repack 1");
        test.replace(); elapsed("repack 2");
        test.replace(); elapsed("repack 2");
        test.replace(); elapsed("repack 2");
        System.exit(0);
    public PackDelayTest() {
        pan = new JPanel();
        pan.setLayout(new BoxLayout(pan,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
        getContentPane().add(pan);
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Label 0");
        pan.add(label);
        pack();
        setVisible(true);
        width = pan.getPreferredSize().width;
    public void replace() {
       Dimension d = pan.getPreferredSize();
       pan.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(++width,d.height));
       pack();
    static void elapsed(String mess) {
        long ct = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("Elapsed milliseconds, " + mess + ": " +
                           (ct - tm));
        tm = ct;
}Running this with Sun jdk 1.3.1 yields the timings:
Elapsed milliseconds, in constructor: 2226
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 1: 26
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 24
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 25
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 24Running the same code with jdk 1.4.1_0 yields
Elapsed milliseconds, in constructor: 1773
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 1: [bold]5747[/bold]
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 32
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 7
Elapsed milliseconds, repack 2: 1Note the FIVE SECOND delay during the first setPreferredSize()- pack() sequence.
This problem also occurs with 1.4.0, Blackdown 1.4.1 and IBM 1.4.0, so presumably it is something in Sun's 1.4 code.
The only way I've found to avoid the initial delay is to set frame invisible
before the setPreferredSize(), pack() sequence and visible afterwards. But of course this makes the window 'flash' and is very unplesant for users.
I've looked at the source for pack() but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. If anyone has an idea about fixing this problem or working around it, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
FYI I ran these tests under Linux, vanilla installations of SuSE 8.0 and 8.1
Thanks,
bw

It turns out that this problem occurs under SuSE (8.0 and 8.1) but NOT under Redhat 8.0
I do NOT understand how this is possible, but it is the case. Has anyone encountered any SuSE specific problems?
fyi I've reproduced the problem on two rather different i386 machines (an AMD k7 and a Pentium III thinkpad), so it certainly doesn't have anything to do with hardware.

Bootup: long delay before sysinit.target.

My system seems to have a strange delay during boot that I don't know how to account for. In the SVG plot, there is a long delay before `sysinit.target` comes on, but it doesn't seem that anything is blocking it.
Also, systemd-blame shows everything starting prety quickly.

790GX-G65 long delay before POST

Hi there, when I turn my comp on there is a long delay, about 20 seconds or so, until it POSTs. There is a flashing cursor on the top left corner of the screen in the meantime. Afterwards it will boot up as normal and is stable. However, if I reboot the system there is no delay, it only happens when I shut down and then turn it on.
Specs:
Phenom II X4 810 2.6GHz
4GB (2x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 1066 (unganged)
GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB
BIOS is the latest version - v1.6
I browsed these forums but the other posts I found were about systems not POSTing at all. This seems to be a different problem.
Thanks.

2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== approx. 2 days ago

I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

[SOLVED]Long delay opening files if multiple selection in file chooser

neok wrote:
Hi,
When I try to open several files in an application, (example: Gimp), by multiple selection in the 'open' filechooser, there is a long delay (about 1 sec per file) before the Gimp starts opening image files. During this delay, the disk access LED flashes continuously and iotop indicates that its jbd2 accessing (writing) on the / partition on my SSD drive. This is despite the fact that the image files are on an external USB hard disk and the Gimp would have no reason to write anything on the / partition. Even if it did, the image files are small (50-100 kb) and such a long delay would be out of place.
The significant thing is that the delay occurs _before_ the Gimp starts opening files. It seems the delay is in the filechooser making a list of the files to be opened. Once the Gimp starts opening files, it finishes quickly.
This sort of thing happens with other apps that can open several files by multiple selection in a filechooser.
Any hints please? I am lost here :-(
The delay is caused by (apparently) GTK which writes to the ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel file, to record all the files that are opened in the multiple selction. Even so, this writing seems too slow, even when opening a large number of files (the ones that I open by multiple selection, by an app that I am working on, are about 10k each, so opening a few hundred should not take the delay I see, about 30 sec).
Anyhow, I patched the problem eventually by chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel to stop the writing. But I would prefer to disable the use of this file by configurtion rather than brute force, if there is such a choice.

I re-installed and reconfigured Arch so that I now have a fresh, uptodate system. In the process, I found that this problem occurs when I run the Gimp as a normal user. If I run it under sudo, all is well. I am strggling to find out why, but no results so far (have checked file permissions where I thought there may be a problem, but no joy).
Any hints much appreciated.

Long delay from receiving INVITE from PSTN gateway and actual end client call

I was wondering if there is anyone who can assist me in some troubleshooting long delays within the mediation server. I have a lab environment which has the front end and mediation server on the same box. I also have an audiocodes MP-114 connected to two
test PSTN lines and this is configured as a trunk to the mediation server and there is two polycom IP phones within the test environment.
Now everything works - SIP invites and media but certain aspects have significant delays.
The problem is with inbound calls from the PSTN line
PSTN via Audiocodes MP-114 to Polycom phone - When I dial the PSTN number from my mobile the audiocodes sends a SIP invite to the Mediation Server within just under a second - I was able to determine this by using the syslog and to be honest that seems a
reasonable time.
Now moving onto the OCSlogger I logged the mediation and SIP logs and the mediation server is showing the SIP invite about half a second later (I am assuming some network latency clock drift etc) which again seems fine.
I then receive various logs showing TLS negotiation between ports 5061 and high ports on the server, and dial plan matching which all seems ok and this seems to take about 1 second not great but not the biggest issue However I then dont receive any message
logs for over 3 seconds until the the mediation server states "SDP Answer to Gateway, SDP is :v=0"
Then another 4 seconds go by until another tls session is negotiated and the SIP invite is sent to the lync registered polycom phone and then the IP phone starts ringing - so it appears the mediation server is not doing anything anything for 7 seconds.
Now looking at the detailed Trace logs I get three TL_ERROR from the proxysdp.cs(1417) proxysdp.cs(422) during the delay that states
TL_ERROR(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:45.305.000b07d8 (MediationServer,ProxySdpProcessor.InternalTryParseSdpT<GlobalDescription_TMediaDescription>:proxysdp.cs(1417))
(0000000003CB324D)SDP parsing error: Empty SDP offer
and then a warning
TL_WARN(TF_COMPONENT) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:49.028.000b080e (MediationServer,ProxyCall.FinishGetOffer:proxycall.cs(4578))[57060297]
57060297Could not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token. Connectivity Servers List = SRV-0003.LOCAL.COM.NULL
and an error from SIPSTACK
TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [0]1298.25DC::02/05/2014-12:22:49.034.000b1d72 (SIPStack,CISIPProxy::CreateUriFromString:ISIPProxy.cpp(1333))
( 00000000002061A0 ) Exit - not a valid SIP address. Returned 0xC3E93F25(SIPPROXY_E_INVALID_URI_SCHEME)
Now the call goes though and works fine but the delay is considerable for the first ring - Has anyone got any ideas as I am stumped at the moment
Cheers
Adam

Adam, you did not mention Edge and so, I will assume one is not deployed yet. Is this the case? Do you have edge defined in topology but not physically configured? "Could
not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token" indicates Mediation is trying to get Media Relay address from Edge via FE, but could not.

Browsing---long delays states it is 'loading' second third attempt works fine.

When I enter a search topic---there is a long delay--tool bar states 'searching'. If I then re-enter after going out of the screen and then in again---the same thing happens. If I repeat the above---after two or three times search commences like normal.
I find this very frustrating. If I go to another search engine this does not happen.

Seeing long delays on youtube vids

Ever since the install of FF7.01 on Win7, I am seeing long delays on any youtube vids. You can click play and it will take several more seconds than usual to load. Then when it does play it does not respond to the stop/start button. All that displays on the screen is a finger. The screen will hang consistently for 30 seconds even after clicking stop. During this period ALL tabs are inoperative.

This seems to be addressed after updating flash to version 11-64bit

Long delay when trying to save print as PDF

For some reason, there is a long delay, usually up to five minutes, before the system will allow me to save a print as a PDF. I ran disk utility and no issues arose. Anyone know why this is happening?

HI,
Make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

My email no longer rotate although everything else does ???

My emails will no longer rotate although everything else does .. Tried turning off and on again at which it works for a little while then stops again...any ideas ...

Try quitting the mail app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can try this as well and see if it solves the issue.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image

Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg Mack

Don,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks
Gregg Mack

When I type there's a long delay before the letters show up on the screen. Also when I backspace it goes crazy and erases entire sentences

This began several days ago and seems to be a problem in Firefox. I did download an update recently but don't thjink the problem developped simultaneously. When I used the computer's feature of resetting the computer to a prior day (May 19, before the update) I could not get Firefox to open at all. So I undid the reset but typing in Firefox is very difficult due to the extremely long delay in the letters I'm typing showing up.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

It is not a matter of password etc.. that are all OK. Strangely, yesterdays, some email did come through after a few days of failure, but not anymore. Could it be related to hacking or something like that? Any thing I could try?
I have OX 10.6.8.
Many thanks for your kind suggestions
