Long time to load Mail

When I open Mail it seems to take forever to load...actually it's only about 20 seconds but that seems like a long time. Eudora never did that. Is that because it's loading all messages from all my mailboxes into memory? I tried to offload a lot of my mailboxes content into an archive format but was unable to revive the archive (another bug). What is going on here? Should I just get used to long load times or can I make it shorter? Thanx.

Ken,
Interesting! The files with SKindex in the name would have been created by the version of Mail that was used prior to 10.3! The file named mbox could have been used in the version of Mail that was in 10.3, but the date-last-modified would confirm whether they were used later than those with SKindex.
The mbox when used was the location where message content was stored. In any conversion to either Mail 2.x (Tiger's versions) or Mail 3.x (Leopard's version) would have attempted to convert that content into xxxx.emlx files in the Messages folder. If you have never thought messages were missing when using Mail since having either upgraded to Tiger or to Leopard, then you don't need any of the files other than the folder named Messages in any mailbox in your Mail folder, and in fact they are probably what are causing the slow loading.
If you thought you would want to try restoring any missing messages, you would want to save a copy of each mbox found in any xxxx.mbox folder.
In Mail 3.x, only the Message folder is used to contain message content, and once the other files are removed, and the mailbox again opened in Mail, an Info.plist should be created.

SSRS Reports taking long time to load

Hello,
Problem : SSRS Reports taking long time to load
My System environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
Production Environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
I have created a Parameterized report (6 parameters), it will fetch data from 1 table. table has 1 year and 6 months data,      I am selecting parameters for only 1 month (about 2500 records). It is taking almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds
to load the report.
This report running efficiently in my system (report load takes only 5 to 6 seconds) but in
production it is taking 2 minutes 30 seconds.
I have checked the Execution log from production so I found the timing for
Data retrieval (approx~)    Processing (approx~)           Rendering (approx~)
10 second                                  15 sec
        2 mins and 5 sec.
But Confusing point is that , if I run the same report at different time overall output time is same (approx) 2 min 30 sec but
Data retrieval (approx~)       Processing (approx~)                Rendering (approx~)
more than 1 min                            15 sec
more than 1 min
so 1 question why timings are different ?
My doubts are
1) If query(procedure to retrieve the data) is the problem then it should take more time always,
2) If Report structure is problem then rendering will also take same time (long time)
for this (2nd point) I checked on blog that Rendering depends on environment structure e.g. Network bandwidth, RAM, CPU Usage , Number of users accessing same report at a time.
So I did testing of report when no other user working on any report But failed (same result output is 2 min 30 sec)
From network team I got the result is that there is no issue or overload in CPU usage or RAM also No issue in Network bandwidth.
Production Database Server and Report server are different (but in same network).
I checked that database server the SQL Server is using almost Full RAM (23 GB out of 24 GB)
I tried to allocate the memory to less amount up to 2GB (Trial solution I got from Blogs) but this on also failed.
one hint I got from colleague that , change the allocated memory setting from static memory to dynamic to SQL Server
(I guess above point is the same) I could not find that option Static and Dynamic memory setting.
I did below steps
Connected to SQL Server Instance
Right click on Instance go to properties, Go to Memory Tab
I found three options 1) Server Memory   2) Other memory   3) Section for "Configured values and Running values"
Then I tried to reduce Maximum Server memory up to 2 GB (As mentioned above)
All trials failed, this issue I could not find the roots for this issue.
Can anyone please help (it's bit urgent).

Hi UdayKGR,
According to your description, your report takes too long to load on your production environment. Right?
In this scenario, since the report runs quickly in developing environment, we initially think it supposed to be the issue on data retrieval. However, based on the information in execution log, it takes longest time on rendering part. So we suggest you optimize
the report itself to reduce the time for rendering. Please refer to the link below:
My report takes too long to render
Here is another article about overall performance optimization for Reporting Services:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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.

Takes a very long time to load pages and is laggy

The new''' FF (4) '''was good at first, but recently it is starting to lack the goodness it once had.
'''It is becoming slower and slower by the day and takes a very long time to load pages. Sometimes the "loading" icon circles for 5 minutes, and whether the page loads or not depends on my luck at that time.'''
Also, it has become seriously '''laggy''':
'''Scrolling''' up and down, typing and '''filling out forms''' (like writing this message) etc have slowed down.
I have deleted the history, and cleared the cache, but to no avail.
Could it be some of the add-ons?
Or is it that FF4 was all hyped up and '''''can't stand to it's name'''''? :)
Please help.

Why when I click on an app it takes a long time to load, like eBay or Pinterest.

When I click on my apps, like Pinterest or eBay, it takes an extremely long time to load. This has just recently started happening and to my knowledge nothing has changed. Safari still appears to be running normally. Can anyone help me?

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Takes a long time to load library

recently when I click on itunes to initiate....it takes a very long time to load library. Never used to do this. Any advice on how to correct this.

I have 192Gb of 999Gb left
That should suffice.
I have now disabled FACES, XML and previews. I'll test this shortly to see if it helps. I'm not sure what difference this will make to other apps.
That will be important, when you want access the APerture library from other applications using te Media Browser or when you want to sync your images to your deviced usin iTunes. For images, that you want to use in the Media Browser you will need previews, or for browsing your aperture library in quick Preview mode. You can craete previews indivudally, if you do need them only for selected images. If you want to use the Media Browser with third party applications, however, you will also need the XML. See:
Aperture 3.5: Set "Share XML with other applications" to "Never" for better performance and faster quit times
Okay. I've closed Aperture and reopened it 4 times. It appears to go through this 'IMPORTING FROM iCloud November 2013' every time.
Either it takes a very long time, or there is an image or a video in your Photo Stream that cannot be imported, because it is incompatible or corrupted.
For iPhoto libraries it used to help, to remove the current "Importing" or "Auto Import" folder from the library package. Try, if this will help for your Aperture library.
See this post by LarryHN how to do it:
TS3745 Re: iphoto library error message???
If you cannot get the import to stop this way, post back, Then you have to delete the photos from your Photo Stream or reset the Photo Stream.

Photo editor window takes a long time to load

During the first try, the photo editor didnt load. Just the blank window got displayed.
After a system restart, the photo editor displays the Java screen, but takes a long time to load(more than an hour and it is still loading) and while it is loading, user is unable to use safari browser

Hi arunarun,
What site are you visiting for the photo editor?

Captivate project takes long time to load on LMS

So I developed a bunch of Captivate 7 modules for a course I'd been working on for some time. When I finally loaded these up on the LMS, I notice that when the modules are launched, a pop-up window opens with a grey background and just stays like that for up to 3-4 mins. I figured grey, because that's what I had set as the HTML page color in the skin editor. However the actual module contents take really long (3-4 mins) to load up. When I tried running all these modules locally from my computer, the grey screen fades into the splash animation within a second.
I figured that this was either due to a bandwidth issue or the LMS causing problems. So I then had these modules tested from our India and US offices (different internet connecttions, multiple LMSs). Same thing happened, takes up to 3-4 mins to transition from the grey screen to the splash animation (but loads up instantly when run locally). We then tried this on multiple LMSs like SABA, Moodle, and even tried this on SCORM Cloud and the same issue. The modules takes a long time to load up, so I kind of ruled out the LMS/bandwidth being an issue.
I'm speculating here, but what I think is happening is that the SCO is trying to download the entire module (about 10MB) to the users machine before it plays the splash animation -- if that's the case then is there a way to avoid that? I mean I don't want a 200 slide Captivate published project to be downloaded right from clicking the launch button -- it could stream through as the user advances through the module. Also, I've seen some pre-loader and Start/End options but not sure how those work.
Important to note here, the 3-4 min wait time from when the module is launched, is only for the first launch. If I were to close the browser popup (in which the SCO opened), and click launch again from the LMS, it's loads up almost instantly -- so I'm pretty sure something's happening in my Captivate project's loading settings which I can't put my finger on.
Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and also what are some possible fixes to this. I can assure you that it's not an internet bandwidth issue because we've tested it on multiple internet connections and on several LMSs (even the client's LMS that this was tested on says that the initial load up takes too long).

All the symptoms you quote sure sounds like a bandwidth issue to me.
Obviously when you load a project directly from your hard drive then there's no issue with bandwidth. But if you're pulling down 10 megs from a web server and it takes a while to start then bandwidth is the obvious issue. I agree that 3-4 minutes sounds excessive for a 10 meg file but that depends entirely on how many users are sharing your bandwidth. Try getting your people in these different locations to visit one of those websites that allows you to test your actual bandwidth. It might not be as much as you think.
On another note...What do you have your preloader set to? The default is 100% but you can usually set it to something like 25% without too much trouble. That should cut the start time down appreciably but nothing is going to eliminate it completely because there'll always be some initial lag the first time your learners view the content.

Long time to load and save

I upgraded to Premier Pro CS5 about a month ago and have had excellent results with several small projects. But now I am working on a larger project (45 minutes) and the projects takes a long time to load - 10 to 15 minutes - and even longer to save - up to an hour. Today, while saving, I received low memory warning from windows. I changed optimize memory in edit - preference to "memory" with no effect. Here are some of the particulars

Wow! Thanks for the quick and helpful replies. It is much appreciated.

Yes both HDDs are internal C: has programs and paging E: is just for media scratch and project
Page files are system managed. Page file size is 8183 MB. MS help suggests I set a page file size do you agree and what size would you recommend?
Colin:
I am embarrassed that I did not think of this. I am at version 5.0.0 Guess I have been spoiled by s/w installations that check for recent updates at time of install. I will update Premiere in the morning.
Harm:
I appreciate the words of wisdom. The scary thing is that I think I understand and resemble quote you included! Thanks for the link. I will check it out after I get Premiere update.
Thanks again to all. Will work on this tomorrow and let you know how it turned out.

Long time to load data from PSA to DSO -Sequential read RSBKDATA_V

Hi ,
It is taking long time to load data from PSA to DSO. It is doing Sequential read on RSBKDATA_V and table contents no data .
we are at - SAPKW70105. It started since yesterday . There is no changes in system parameters.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Nilesh,
I guess the following SAP Note will help you in this situation.

Just note that the reference to Support Packages is wrong. It is also included in SAP_BW 701 06.

Reports taking unusually long time to load

Gurus,
I am using BO 4.1 SP1. I am trying to open a report on BI launchpad. But it is taking very long time to load. This occurs even when i am trying to access the last instance. Window remains in the following state.
I checked load on the server. But tha'ts fine. What could be the issue?

Hi,
Ok, that's strange because the connection server doesn't actually handle data processing.
(that would typically be the WebiProcServer or DSL_Bridge or DF service (depending on workflow))
My advice would be to turn off 'refresh on open', change viewer technology to "web view" (as opposed to Java rich internet client) and start investigating again from that baseline.
Also, this might be indicative of a BIplatform sizing or APS configuration issue. another option: have you upped your memory allocation to the Tomcat config?
Regards,
H
