MBP 2.6 ghz slower than dual 2.0

Hi people.
I traded my dual 2.0 g5 for a 2.6 ghz mbp. I needed a portable solution and could not afford two computers so this was the solution. I put an esata card with two drives and the data rates with this solution are the same as in the g5 (80mbps per drive), so far so good.
The problem is that running the same software versions for everything, the mbp is more than twice slower. For example a 90 min encode in compressor (custom one pass fixed rate) is about 4 hours in the notebook, and about realtime in the g5.
I have 2gb ram in this machine and had 1 in the g5. System is snow leopard and final cut studio 2.
Any suggestion before I have to clean install everything?
As always, thanks a lot.
Pepo

Custom installation on a factory new machine won't give you many options other than leaving out iLife, a bunch of printer drivers and fonts. That should not affect FCS performance, even the most basic Intel CPU based Mac should be faster than a G5.
Have you run Software Update, repaired permissions on the boot drive, etc?

My new Macbook 1,83 Ghz Slower than old Ibook 933Mhz ---!!??

I really don't get it - Am I missing something??
I'm running exactly the same applications as I used to on a G4 Ibook 933mhz, and I'm using my new Macbook the same way.
Programes are opening slower, windows are are closing slower, it takes forever to open Photoshop...and don't event hink about opening another programme at the same time...
I read previous post and checked the following:
I did a test with Xbench ( score of 112 )
I doubt that more Ram will really solve the issue I will try...
It's slow weither the Computer is Hot or Cold.
the Widgets running are : Postit - Weather - date - Calculator.
Any idea ?
I bought it last week - I might return it if this is not solved.
Thanks for any feedback..

After purchasing the blackbook, i compared its performance to a G4 1.44GHz notebook to see if there was a significant improvement. I made sure to put the stock 512MB of RAM back into it to match the ibook to keep from having an unfair advantage. the macbook right off the bat booted much faster than the ibook. file selection and application loading was a bit different, because as Mr. Tirta said, Rosetta can account for the delay in performance. But this is actually an unfair advantage on the part of the PPC unit, since all of the applications are in an optimal environment without the need of an emulation layer like the macbook. All things being equal(native apps for both units) the macbook would fly compared to the ibook. if you run the upcoming CS3, which will be a UB app, it will get a significant jump over the previous powerpc hardware. so its not your macbook thats slower than the powerbook, its your applications running in a non-compatible environment through translation.

Is standard Macbook pro slower than the MBP Retina

Is standard Macbook pro 13 with i7, 8GB RAM, going to be slower than the macbook pro retina?

farooq_opf,
the higher-end non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 CPU. The higher-end Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 2.8 GHz Core i7 CPU. Both of these models are dual-core CPUs. The 15-inch Retina models have slower, quad-core CPUs. Whether the higher-end non-Retina dual-core CPU or one of the Retina quad-core CPUs is faster depends upon the particular task that you’re trying to do; for tasks that lend themselves to multithreaded processing, the quad-core CPU will probably finish faster, despite having a slower CPU.

Stabilization Slower Than Ever. :( New 12 Core Mac Pro VS 2006 PowerPC Dual

I have concluded testing that the WarpStabilizer in AE using a 12 Core 2.9 GHZ Mac Pro is SLOWER than a dual 2.7 GHZ PowerPc G5 running iMovie and GeeThree's Stabilizer plugin.
There is no excuse for such shotty performance.

Rick:
Stabilization needs to occur in edited clips. If you don't the stabization data is excessive for centering the frame. The edit comes from within PP. Once a PP project is ready for the Dynamic Link(s) .. a 30 min clip could have 100s of clips that need to be sent to AE via DL.
To do this with one giant 30 min. clip sends the position tracking data all over the place .. and ruins many frames that would otherwise be fine if the clips where divided appropriatley ..
Try it .. or anyone whom wrote the plug in should try it.
It is a very simple process that I expected to do within a very basic function.
The was PP and AE handles it is ______.
I would love to make a demo video about what is happening. :O

MBP slower than ever...

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, then swapped a 250gb 7200rpm hard drive for a 500gb 5400rpm hard drive. Now my computer is slower than ever. It still works, but at a much slower pace. Often the screen will freeze for up to 10 seconds before becoming operable again. This happens when doing the simplest of tasks. I am only running about 5 programs at a time anyways. This never happened on the old system. And I don't think its a matter of the slower hard drive. I was running an old MB with a smaller HD, same RPM, same RAM, and there was no problem. What gives? What should I do?

OK. Let's proceed on the premise it's not the drive. Although, I swapped an 80GB 5400 drive on an iMac G4 for a 160 GB@7200 and noticed quite a difference.
How did you install, clean install with Migration Assistant, clone, Time Machine?
There are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take.
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test your apps in this new account, if they are faster the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions faster that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting. Also, delete Users/yourname/Library/Caches. (on the first launch after this some apps will be slow until cache catches up.)
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Why is Wireless G router slower than Wireless B?

I have a wireless B router (BEFW11S4 V4) that is dropping my internet connection sometimes on a daily basis. To restore it, I have to unplug the power and plug it back in. It's a pain and interferes with my work, so I purchased a wireless G router (WRT54G2) to replace it. Setting it up was quick and painless, but slowed my internet to a crawl. I know that wireless connections are slower than wired, but a direct connection was about 10 times faster (according to several online speed tests) which I find unacceptable.
I have since removed it and gone back to the older faulty router to restore my internet connect to a speed that at least allows me to do my work. I was not unhappy with my connection speed before. I only replaced the router because it was dropping the connection, but I cannot understand why the new router was so much slower.
Any thoughts, hints, or suggestions before I return the new router to the store?
Thanks!

1) What Internet connection speed are you paying for?
2) What Internet connection speed do you get when you wire your computer directly to your modem?
3) What Internet connection speed do you get when you wire your computer to the WRT54G2?
4) What Internet connection speed do you get through a wireless connection to the WRT54G2?
5) Is your computer's wireless adapter a wireless b? g? n?
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. If you have external antenna, they should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings.) Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should connect automatically (it can take up to 2 minutes). If you have trouble connecting, in the computer, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, and see if that helps.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

The retina MBP will be faster than the conventional one on boot and shutoffs as well as very demanding CPU/GPU intensive applications. As far as web browsing , text editing and other non-CPU intensive applications there will be little if any difference between the two.
If you install A SSD in the conventional MBP, it will be faster than the retina due to the faster CPU. Note also that the conventional MBP can have up to 16 GB RAM installed. The retina is restricted to a maximum of 8 GB.
You will have to weigh the differences in the display, speed, form (weight) and flexibility as to how they suit your needs. All I can do is to and highlight the differences.
Ciao.

Are the new MacBook's 2.0 GHz faster than PowerPC G4 1.33GHz?

I have a 15" PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz, and looking to upgrade to Intel, but was wondering if it's worth it. Are the new MacBook Intel Mac's that much faster and better than the PowerPC 1.33 GHz G4's?
Thanks
-Dean

To elaborate on what JoeyR said,
Yes, the new Intel machines will feel a fair amount faster both because of the architecture (a core solo was a little slower than a G5), and the fact that it is dual core.
The caveat is: You have to ask yourself which programs you use a lot, and whether they are Universal Binary (able to be run on both PPC and Intel processors). PPC only programs will be run under Rosetta which emulates the PPC environment. Obviously this may make some programs feel sluggish, especially when you start the programs.
But, I love my Macbook.
Best,

MBP 13" not really faster than MB 13"

Hi
I want to upgrade my 4 year old MB 13". I really like the size... I waited a long time for the new processors to come. Now I discovered that the 13" model does not feature the i5 and i7 processors and I heard that the 13" MBP cannot be compared to the 15" model in terms of performance.
I will do more photo editing (photoshop) and video editing (final cut express) and my old MB is getting really slow...
Any advice on choice of Macbook - Pro or normal...
Thanks!

Hi niefl,
First of all (and I know this isn't quite what your are asking) although the new MBP isn't as fast as the new 15" model, it is a LOT quicker than a four year old MB. We have an early 2 GHz black CD MacBook (about the same generation as yours), a later , Core 2 Duo, MB, a SantaRosa 15" MBP from 2007, and a June 2009 13" MBP . Even the June 2009 13" model is much, much faster in any situation that requires processor power for things like photo editing or video editing than the early 2 GHz MB .
As far as comparison with the late 2009 polycarbonate MB goes, the benchmarks published by MacWorld (see http://www.macworld.com/article/147071/2010/04/13inchmacbookprobenchmarks.html) indicate that the new MBP 13 is a bit faster than the MB but not by a huge margin - maybe about 10% on most tasks.
But there are other very good reason to get the MBP if you can afford the extra couple of hundred dollars. For video work the huge difference is firewire. USB is better on recent Macs than it was in the days when your old MB was released, but it is still slower than FW400 and much, much slower than the Firewire 800 available on the MBP but not the MB.
Secondly the "standard" base configuration of the MBP comes with 4 gig of RAM, while the MB comes with just 2Gig. To do what you want to do efficiently you will need at least 4 gig of RAM. You will really notice the benefit of this with both photo editing and video work. Simply upgrading the RAM on the MB to 4 gig will cost you around half the difference in price between the two machines anyway!
Thirdly, the MBP comes with an illuminated keyboard. I never realised how useful this would be until I obtained my first MBP. Once you have been using one for a while it is hard to go back to the non-iluminated one.
Fourthly the MBP is a little lighter and slimmer than the MB.
Fifthly, our own experience has been that the aluminium MBPs are substantially tougher than the polycarbonate ones. Not only are they much more scratch resistant, but they are also less prone to case fractures through minor knocks.
Sixth, they have batteries / power management systems that give you longer battery charge life.
Seventh, they provide full sound output through the minidisplay port if you wish to hook up to an HDMI TV (unlike the MB)
Finally, they look better!
If you assume that you will have to upgrade the MB to 4 Gig of RAM anyway, then you get all the rest for just $100!
Pretty hard to beat when it comes to value IMHO!
Having said all of that, there is no doubt that the base model i5 MBP 15" is a very sweet computer, and ideal for the purposes you speak of, but if your budget, or demands for portability, means that you are choosing between the 13" MBP and the MB, I think the current model of the MBP13 wins hands down when it comes to overall value, and is a bit faster too.
Cheers
Rod

On my 2012 MBP I can no longer use dual screens/HDMI after upgrading to 10.8.2. I'm using Moshi Thunderbolt adapter

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

Home Hub 3 is slower than dial up.

I used to be on a voyager 220v router but started having connection problems. After speaking to customer support, and after they ran some tests on the line/router, they told me that the fault was with the 220v and as it was obsolete, i would need to change to a HH3.
After receiving the HH3, im now finding that the d/l speed for webpages is slower than it was on dial-up. Ive tried running speedtester but it fails to complete and just gives an error that it cant be completed at this time and to try later. After reading another thread on this issue, i went and found the settings from the hub itself, these are posted below:-

is their anything amongst the above which explains why its running so slowly?

Bah, this is a PITA.
Got up around 7am and the HH3 was displaying connection time of 10 hours, great, lets leave it for 24 and see what happens. Tried browsing and pages were incredibly slow to load, thats when they did actually load. I said stuff it and took the dog for a walk and left everything as is. Got back and checked again at 9.15 to find a connection time of 14 mins, so obvioulsy something has reset itself.
Tried speedtester and quite simply, the page would not load in order for me to test it.
Tried clean line check, sounds perfect, no noise whatsoever on it.
Tried connecting to the test socket and now get the following results:-

Flash player 10.1 slower than 10

At least, that's how it is on my secondary computers. On my Dell Inspiron B120, flash 10.1 latest is like a train wreck when it comes to playing Youtube videos in full screen. Disabling hardware acceleration helped a little, but this shouldn't be happening as I uninstalled 10.1 and installed an archived version of Flash 10 with much better playback AND with h/w acceleration enabled. The laptop uses XP SP3 and Firefox.
Simply put, Flash 10.1 feels a lot slower than 10 on my Dell laptop (1.4 GHz celeron-M, intel 915g video, 512 mb ram)
And there's another odd but minor problem I seem to be having with is flash animations on my main computer and any other computer/laptop I have using Flash 10.1. I get this alternating 'lag' every few seconds; it's like the computer is dropping frames because the CPU can't keep up. I could completely understand this, but this is happening on practically any flash animation I throw at the computer. I just tested a flash movie (SWF format) on my main computer (2.8 GHz AMD Athlon x2 240; 2 gb ram, Windows 7 x64, Firefox) and I get this irritating choppy lag here and there. Again, with the previous Flash version 10, I did NOT have this problem AT ALL. Everything was silky smooth; the only benefit I'm getting from Flash 10.1 is x264 hardware acceleration for my ATI Radeon 4200 HD. Before anyone asks, all of my computers were using the latest flash version AND video drivers prior to these tests.
I am VERY frustrated with these problems as I've posted a similar thread twice now in the past. No one seems to be answering or helping me with this; Those that do reply simply claim that they're having the same problem.
Adobe, please look into this problem. Eventually Youtube and several other sites will force me to upgrade my laptop to Flash 10.1.

Has Adobe fixed the problems with version 10,1,82,76 of flash player ?
I compared it and found nothing but problems.
I then uninstalled 10,1,82,76 and rolled back to 10,0,12,36 which works fine on Firefox and Opera but I can't install 10,0,12,36 on Exploer or Chrome
it keeps telling me there is a new version even when I try to install it from local drive with a archived version.
With all the complaints about 10,1,82,76 and the lack of response from Adobe on any fixes I will not be using Adobe auto updates until I let some
other poor guinea pigs suffer all the bugs and problems first.
You would expect a large company to have better development and testing before imposing buggy upgardes on us.
