MacBook spends too much time loading

Whether its the internet loading advertisements (videos or inter-actives), or opening larger applications, my macbook always seems to freeze up, either for a few seconds or minutes to unexpectedly quitting the program. Does anyone know if this strictly has to do with RAM, or maybe cookies?

  • White MacBook takes too much time to boot up

    Hi there.
    I got the topcase(keyboard) of my MacBook repaired. (White MacBook 2006) and after that it takes nearly 7 up to 10 seconds after pressing the power button that I first see apple logo and it boots up.
    I'm not sure but seems like that detecting the hardwares take too much time .
    any solution?
    PS: I'm running Snow Leopard(10.6.2)

  • UPK takes too much time "Loading Library"

    Hi All, I installed the UPK Developer version 3.5.1 together with the Service Pack 3, as soon as the installation is finished:
    1) Execute the UPK Developer application
    2) Immediately appear a window, showing that UPK is "Loading the Library"
    3) Most of the times takes too much and nothing happens, I have to kill the process.
    4) Few times (I don´t know why) it stops and
    4a) Let me to navigate in the menu, but most of the options are not available, I mean
    I can not make a New Folder, Topic, etc, I can not Open, I can not See Options, etc
    And I can not execute anything.
    Does any body could help me?
    During the process the only few things I was asked for were: Language, Type (I need SINGLE USER) and Windows Group, nothing related to Library configuration or something like that, any clue?

    Hello,
    You can contact Oracle Support here: http://support.oracle.com/
    For more information about this forum, please see the announcement at the top of the forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1175
    You shouldn't need to kill the Library loading process. Once that happened, it likely left a partial Library in your local cache. Oracle Support can assist you with this issue.

  • Time machine spends too much time backing up

    Even when I have very little changed information to back up - say 15MB - time machine takes 10-15 minutes.   Every hour.   It spends like 3-4 minutes "Setting up", another 5-8 minutes "Backing up XXX of 15.2MB", and then another 3-5 minutes "cleaning up".  
    Syncing or backing up changed data on the same drive takes Synchronize! X Plus barely over a minute.  Maybe a 1 minute compare time and then 10s of file copying, then done.   Why is TM so much slower?
    Since I can't change how often TM runs (that's really annoying, BTW, Apple), this means that almost 25% of the time my mac is disk-bound and slow.  Extremely frustrating to work on.   I often end up working on my 3-year-old macbook pro because it doesn't have to deal with TM (I just sync it to the desktop every couple of days with Synchronize! X Plus) and so in practice it's a whole lot faster to work with than the mighty 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Xeon Mac Pro with 8GB RAM.
    I don't think it's anything wrong with the TM disk.   I've observed this kind of behavior on every mac I've used with TM in the last four years - at least three different macs and at least nine different external drives.
    Why on Earth does TM take geological time to back up my mac every hour?    I know it has some comparisons to do, but copying those files should only take a few seconds.     Does it behave this way for everyone, or am I just unlucky?

    this means that almost 25% of the time my mac is disk-bound and slow. 
    I run Time machine on my server. It uses under 2 percent of CPU. I find that it works at low priority and does not interfere with other activities. I have not observed any substantial slowdown due to disk access or any other reason.
    know it has some comparisons to do, but copying those files should only take a few seconds.
    If you want it locked up so hard that you cannot even type, it probably could copy those files in a few seconds. It is intended to do its work in the background, and allow you to continue to do other work.
    Since I can't change how often TM runs...
    Oh yes, you can. Apple did not give access to those parameters directly, but those settings and others are in several .plist files and can be changed with third-party utilities.
    What computer are you backing up, and how much memory is installed?
    Are you ever seeing any Pageouts on the Activity Monitor Memory display?
    Are you backing up directly to a local disk, over Wireless, or over Ethernet, and at what speed?
    Is the disk that contains the Time Machine backup files used for any other purpose?
    Have you ever made changes to the Time Machine disk using the Finder?

  • Cursor spending too much time cloning

    I am profiling the performance of scanning through a database using a cursor. The breakdown looks something like this:
    Total - 3800 ms
    IN.fetchTarget - 1250 ms
    IN.latch - 300 ms
    Cursor.beginMoveCursor - 1260 ms
    Cursor.endMoveCursor - 920 ms
    Most of the time in begin and end move cursor is dealing with cloning. So effectively it is taking more time to deal with the cursor than to retrieve the data from disk. That doesn't sound right. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to not clone the cursor?
    Instead of using the cursor if I use get for each element the time is comparable. Here is the breakdown
    Total - 4800 ms
    IN.fetchTarget - 1250 ms
    Tree.search - 940 ms
    Cursor.init - 1380 ms (almost all the time incrementing an atomic integer)
    Cursor.close - 830 ms
    Cursor.lockLN - 300 ms
    I was hoping that by using the cursor I will cut down most of the overhead (search, repeated cursor init and close) and the time will come down to close to 1250 ms.

    I strongly suggest that rather than doing profiling, you look at your app throughput (without -ea or a profiler running), and look at the EnvironmentStats. The stats tell you what is going on in JE, and tuning based on the stats is normally the most fruitful. Looking at things in a profiler may help to optimize JE code itself, but is less likely to be fruitful for tuning your app, and a profiler is usually more beneficial after you have tuned the app, based on looking at the stats.

    I have deployed a j2ee application on oracle 10g version 10.1.2.0.2. But the application is taking too much time to load. After loading ,everything works fast.

    Hi this is what the solution given by your link
    A.1.6 Connection Timeouts Through a Stateful Firewall Affect System Performance
    Problem
    To improve performance the mod_oc4j component in each Oracle HTTP Server process maintains open TCP connections to the AJP port within each OC4J instance it sends requests to.
    In situations where a firewall exists between OHS and OC4J, packages sent via AJP are rejected if the connections can be idle for periods in excess of the inactivity timeout of stateful firewalls.
    However, the AJP socket is not closed; as long as the socket remains open, the worker thread is tied to it and is never returned to the thread pool. OC4J will continue to create more threads, and will eventually exhaust system resources.
    Solution
    The OHS TCP connection must be kept "alive" to avoid firewall timeout issues. This can be accomplished using a combination of OC4J configuration parameters and Apache runtime properties.
    Set the following parameters in the httpd.conf or mod_oc4j.conf configuration files. Note that the value of Oc4jConnTimeout sets the length of inactivity, in seconds, before the session is considered inactive.
    Oc4jUserKeepalive on
    Oc4jConnTimeout 12000 (or a similar value)
    Also set the following AJP property at OC4J startup to enable OC4J to close AJP sockets in the event that a connection between OHS and OC4J is dropped due to a firewall timeout:
    ajp.keepalive=true
    For example:
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar
    Please tell me where or which file i should put the option
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar ??????/

  • BPC application is taking too much time to load

    Hi experts!
    I'm facing a very weird problem...
    We've developed a BPC application (app name: USM).
    This application is taking too much time to be loaded  in some computers (around 8 minutes to load).  Yes, in SOME computers.
    There is around 100.000 registers in the database and most coming from material master data.
    If I try to load this USM application in another computer, the process loads smoothly. The computer's hardware is all the same, the server is hyper estimated and everyone is in the same network.
    I talked to infrastructure departament and we made several tests. We run BPC on the server (loaded quickly), on several computers (some loads quickly, others don't), used wireless and cable connection (got all the same result) and checked communication between BW and BPC but it is ok.
    After all, I tried to load APSHEL application in the same enviroment and it loaded intantly. So, I guess it is something wrong with my application. But if was this, I suppose it should happen to all computers and not only with part of them.
    Have anybody ever seen something like this?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Rubens,
    I would try making a couple of test:
    1. I will install the client in a machine that is located in the same network segment, or try using a vpn that comunicates with the server bypassing all security devices, only to see if the network it's the problem.
    2. Making a full optimize of one application to see if maybe the problem it's related to the segmentation of the cubes (i don't think that this is the problem but give it a try).
    It is very wierd that in some computers happends and in others don't... also try to clean up the local cache of the applications in those computers that are giving to you bad performce and retry.
    hope it helps,

  • PRS600 ereader taking too much time to load all the books

    Whenever I open My PRS600 from complete shutdown it takes too much time to load all the files which are present in Memory card. Is anyone else facing same issue?

    Hello,
    Recently, I have been having some serious issues when it comes to my Sony PRS-600. I am running on a Windows 7 64-bit, and an updated Reader Library 3.3
    The issue comes when transferring books to the e-reader from the library, and from the e-reader to a collection. The problem is that the software becomes intolerably slow while it's processing the command. The Reader Library software window grays out, displays (Not Working) and if clicked on it, shades to a white color and displays either "cancel operation" or "wait until program responds". If I do close the operation, it appears as if the e-reader doesn't follow the operation and still displays "Do not disconnect". Since I do not see any other way to disconnect (other than the eject option), I remove the USB plug which causes a bit more issues with the reader (such as removing all of my collections, for example!).
    But anyway, that's not the main issue here. The main issue is that the book transferring is really slow. I need to wait a couple of minutes (or even more) just for the software to process. Moving just 1 MB of data requires so much time as if it's 1 GB. Sometimes it's random and does it fast, and sometimes the application is better not to be dealt with at all while it's processing the command. If I would inspect My Computer, the simple loading of the e-reader storage icons and information would make the Windows Explorer to "crash" (e.g, close all windows and then reopen them). It just happens that in all randomness even the creation of a collection makes the software slow.
    So to recap: the reader software is slow when adding and moving books.
    I hope someone will help me resolve this annoyance.
    Thank you,
    KQ

  • Full DTP taking too much time to load

    Hi All ,
    I am facing an issue where a DTP is taking too much time to load data from DSO to Cube via PC and also while manually running it.
    There are 6 such similar DTP's which load data for different countries(different DSO's and Cubes as source and target respectively) for last 7 days based on GI Date. All the DTP's are pulling almost same no. of records and finish within 25-30 min. But only one DTP takes around 3 hours. The problem started couple of days back.
    I have change the Parallel processes from 3->4->5 and packet size from 50,000->10,000->1.00.000 but no improvement. Also want to mention that all the source DSO's and target Cubes have the same structure. All the transformations have Field Routines and End Routines.
    Can you all please share some pointers which can help.

  • Azure Data Sync Log Take Too Much Time to Load

    Hi,
    I've found that the Azure Sync Log inside the Portal take too much time to load if my sync group was created long time ago. i.e. for those new sync group with only a few logs, it will take around 5 seconds for loading. However, I've many sync group created
    more than 1 year, and it will take me up to 10 minutes for viewing the first page of the logs.
    It seems the Portal will download ALL the logs to my browser even I just want to view the most recent logs (maybe I just want to view the last 10 records, but it will download the whole 5000 pages?)
    It will be great if the Portal only fetch the data of the page I am currently viewing, instead of fetching all the logs.
    Is there any ways to speed up the log loading time?
