MEGA ZOOM IN Z SPACE IS GETTING SLOW...
Hey Everybody,
I need to make a 30 second long zoom in Z space and I'm using a 3D camera for that.
I've separated the dimension on the positioning of the camera so I could use only the 'Z position' to make the zoom.
I'm starting the Z positioning from 0 until -700000 (I know, It's kinda far!)
But I've noticed that my images (which I've placed in 3D space so they pass the camera in Z space) are getting slower and slower because of the far zoom I quess?
How closer I get to the number -700000 how slower the camera movement is going.
How can I fix this? (Using CS6)
Thanks for the help!
Greets,
Stylow
I understand you and that's totally correct but that is not what I meant.
Maybe a simple drawing will help
Example:
Let's say I've used over 200 tree images and created a road by placing them in lines on the left and the right side of the street.
If you look at the TOP view in AE and then look at my drawing example below ( .. would represent the camera and the _ would represent some of the tree images)
the camera .. is moving backwards by using the Z position but after a while (and I get closer to my 30 sec of footage I need) the camera seems to be moving a lot slower then in the beginning when I started
at Z position: 0
I've also checked the keyframe interpolation but its all on linear.
In the real world when you move a camera backward by using the same speed, the speed wouldn't increase after a longer distance.

BTV getting slower and s l o w e r and s l o ...
Hi,
With every upgrade my Silver BTV is getting slower. I used to occasionally get the "Recorded TV is working. Please try later" every now and again, but now I get it almost every time I set up a recording or delete something. I think my record for this to be on the screen is over 20 seconds but 5 - 10 seconds is quite normal. I have done a soft reboot (and obviously BTV decides to do its own really annoying reboot around 7 am some mornings when I want to be able to rewind live BBC Breakfast to 6 am- WHY DOES IT DO THIS?) . This does not help but it least it fixes the other extremely annoying bug where it thinks it is running out of disk space and starts deleting programs when it really has no need to!!!
Ta, Andy.The box does not reboot itself at 7am every day at the behest of BT that is not normal behaviour.
I think you really ought to fo a hard reset and clear everything off your hard drive and see if it solves your problem.
If it does not then you are I think looking at a slowly dying box which needs to be replaced.
Factory Reset
Switch off the Vision+ box at the mains socket
Hold down the front panel OK and down arrow buttons
Switch on the power to the Vision+ box
Allow the box to start up (about 15 seconds)
Release the OK and down arrow buttons
The Vision+ box will then contact the servers to get a new copy of its firmware
This will take around 30 minutes

Writing to BLOB gets slow as table grows
Hi,
We have a table with a BLOB column. When the table is empty it takes a few second to insert 3k rows. As the table grows to 500k rows, it takes almost 5 minutes to insert the same # of rows, and it's getting slower and slower. At the beginning, I thought it was because of indexes and constraints, so I disabled all foreign key constraints (have to leave primary keys and indexes there), it doesn't make much difference. I don't see other tables with indexes and constraints and even more # of rows but w/o BLOB column have such significant performance degradation. The BLOB is stored out of line in a separate tablespace with 8k block size and chunk size.
Do you have any idea what may cause the slowness in insert?
Thanks.If the tablespace is ASSM (segment space management AUTO), there are issues with LOB performance. If you can, move the table and it's LOB to an MSSM tablespace and re-test your inserts.
BTW, what version and patchlevel are your running ? -

Mid 2007 imac is getting slower
seems to be getting slower ... lot of waiting between entries
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec bash
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

The Erase & Install would remove everything from the computer and just have the Operating System in place. (Even if your computer is running OK, you should still have important files saved elsewhere--on CDs, DVDs or an external hard drive. Your hard drive could fail at any time!)
If things work OK in the new account, you can migrate your data from the old account to the new one, and I'll look for the article about that tomorrow (it's a bit late for me and I'm heading off to bed shortly).
This statement from my previous post:
"If so, you've got a software issue on your hands" basically means you could have a software issue with some part of OS X if an Erase & Install would clear up your web browsing problem.

I purchased the G5 dual 2.3 last spring just after they were released and shortly after added 2 gigs of ram to it to help with real time playback during video editing. After I put it in I did a test to see the improvement and was pleasantly surprised that I could playback 5 layers of video with multiple filters on them without rendering in Final Cut. Since then, however, I've noticed a steady decline in my computer's ability to do what I figured the RAM was there to do. I haven't experienced any faulty RAM horror stories like the ones we've all heard. It just seems to me that my computers performance is getting slower and not able to handle as much realtime playback. I have been looking in MacAddict and MacWorld to see if they pinpoint this problem, but have found other RAM articles that don't apply to this. Is there something that I could do to boost performance and possibly restore things to the way they were when I first installed the RAM?

What free space do you have on your FCP scratch disk? Performance will drop as your HD's fill up.
Try freeing some space on your boot drive and video/data drive.
You are using a seperate boot HD and video/data HD? If not you'll find this helps.

I have one of the new macbooks and I installed a 500GB hard drive. It was fast, and then within the last month, it is getting slow. Is there something I can do to help speed up my computer?
Same thing has happened here. I've freed up disk space, not that it was full. I have roughly 100-120 gig of free space on a 250 gig HD. 2.4ghz Macbook with Apple installed RAM up to 4 Gig. It slows down at times where it used to be fine.
I don't even bother using using VMware Fusion anymore, it's so slow. The only things I have open at the same time are Safari, word, Excel, iCal, and activity monitor. If I'm watching a movie I generally turn it off before trying to run wincrap under fusion.
For some reason things have seriously slown down and noticeably so when it comes to multi tasking -
IMac getting slower and slower....
I've had my iMac for just under a year and recently it has seemed to be getting slower and slower and more buggy. Today GoLive CS2 refused to launch. No error code, just bounced in the dock and then stopped. My Finder keeps "not responding" when I am opening a folder on my harddrive. I've had problems with external firewire drives, it's just getting frustrating, and it's been getting worse over the last week or so... Also I've been having font problems too... I haven't installed a massive amount of fonts, but all of a sudden it's telling me it can't find "Arial TT" when I open InDesign I've repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, and I'm performing the hardware test as I type this (on my PowerBook). I've used Macs for many many years and consider myself a pretty advanced user so I'm not thinking this is user error. Has anyone else had similar problems?? I don't use a bunch of third party junk software on here, it's basically apple apps, and the Adobe CS2 Suite. I maxed the RAM with Crucial RAM when I first got it, so all that should still be good. Help? Suggestions? I know I could always wipe it and start again, but unfortunately at this moment I don't have enough external HD to back everything up to do this...
iMac G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)947/3393
Hi rorydale,
Speaking of "not enough external HD to back everything up":
You know that Mac OS X needs a lot of free space on the boot drive, like at least 10%-15% free space?
Along with RAM, that's the only thing Mac OS X cannot do well without.
Then,
before starting a good read of this article and its excellent links:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
I would make sure some regular maintenance is performed, just to take a safe start.
1) Nightly "periodic" maintenance tasks:
Open Terminal and paste this command:
sudo sh /etc/daily
hit enter, password, enter, wait until you see the prompt again.
OK now this one:
sudo sh /etc/weekly
(this one takes a long time, especially if you never ran it. You can use your computer while it is running, but do not quit Terminal)
Then, this one:
sudo sh /etc/monthly
Again, wait for the prompt to reappear.
2) Run Preferential Treatment, delete the corrupted .plist files if it finds some.
3) Run a Disk Repair with Disk Utility from the Tiger install DVD (menu Utilities).
4) Permissions Repair of course (from the boot volume, not the install disc)
5) Fonts can get problematic. I would trash Fonts caches too. Read about Fonts also in the Troubleshooting KB articles...
6) Users caches can be cleaned just to make sure. You'll see later if you still need to tinker the system and kernel caches.
That's for a start, let us know how it goes...

Hello,
I own a imac g5 1.8 with 1gyg of ram. and im starting ti have around 8000 pictures...and my iphoto is getting slower.... (iphoto library is on a externat hd)
Besside adding new memory is there a way to either
a. get faster result from iphoto
b. build more then one library that i can open when i need it insetad of opening all of them?
ThanksHi Mysteriousmind,
I have a 3,000 image library at 3 gigs in size.
I use a Canon camera which does not make larger Makernotes in the EXIF data.
If you want to find out more about the large Makernote problem that slows iPhoto down to a crawl, visit this thread

Apple Macintosh iPhoto 5 slowness
If you do have one of the cameras that have large Makernote files you may want to try (iPhoto) Exif Cleaner
-Will more memory help speed iPhoto up? It sure will and many have noted that it has.
-There are steps you can take to speed up scrolling in the iPhoto Library.
do not use shadows
do not use outlines
use white for background
view by rolls and keep the rolls closed
when viewing images keep them around 5 or less across in the rows
choose not to "show photo count for albums"
If you have thousands of images it is also advisable to make multiple libraries. Smaller libraries will load and work faster. Use the Option key when launching iPhoto to create and switch between libraries.
You can also use iPhoto Library Manager or iPhoto Buddy to manage your libraries.
iPhoto Library Manager
iPhoto Library Manager documentation
this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
You can also try iPhoto Buddy
You should have a t 15% free space on your hard drive. Things get slow after that.

My MacBook is getting slowe & slower, eventhough I run OnyX every week.
I also checked with fsck, but without success.
Any tips ??The machine itself is not slower but at this time it is performing more tasks than when you got it., So what has changed?
Are you running out of dosk space(how much free disk space do you have)?
Are you running more apps and running out of RAM?
What MacBook Pro model do you have?
What OS Version? -
MacBook is getting slower and slower
My 2008 2.4ghz Intel MacBook is getting slower and slower at running basic operations. I have tried to free up my harddrive as it was VERY full. I free up 40 GB+ of space, but something is still filling it back up?
Here is what my profile looks like
How do I figure out what all this "other" material is?
I thought it was due to a lack of memory after upgrading to Lion, but it has been getting dramatically worse, which doesn't seem like a memory issue to me.
Any thoughts?You're welcome.
The other section represents files that are uncategorized by your OS. That could be part of your OS, application fonts and so on.
2GB is enough to run lion but might be painfully slow. Try to bump it up to 4GB if your supports it.
If your MB is an early 08, you can go as high as 6GB. If you have a late 08, you can go as high as 8GB.
Only upgrade if you plan on keeping your MB longer. -
Labview visa getting slow when connected to arduino
visa in labview when connected to arduino prog gets slow
i have checked it passes the required codde but action is slow
and most important every time to get the o/p i need to stop the prog then start again.
i tried doing a new prog with only one string constant and visa in singlw while loop thinking this was due to lenghty progs but still things are not working as i want i.e. fast n without stopping the prog. i have attached my files n images of required portion of block diag
i have used a string of lenght 10 char n i my program and just one visa write.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Ranjeet_Singh my requirement is to send 10 character srting from visa write to arduino. When i change the controller index and click on my led's which i have designed to transmit my code( only if true) using case selctor the code must reach arduino. It reaches but there is a delay of 2 to 3seconds everytime i send. and next time when i change th index and click the led to send the code it is not passed. when i run the program again it is passed. I have added all my code in a single while loop which runs continously.
I have made a code in arduino for my hardware. when i send codes from arduino my hardware runs successflly.
n yes only command response operation is involved.
regarding 2011 i wont be able to i guess.but i am copy pasting my prog in labview 7.1. except visa everythig is pasted i guess.
i have attached images of my block diagram for further reference.
my harware is: two 8bit DAC, DDS an i.c. which accepts code and generates sinwave, digital potentiometer which accepts code and takes a value between 0 to 10kohm and 12 relays take thier control signal from this code.
crossrulz m using port 18 of my p.c and connecting usb to arduino mega 2560.

i judge labview goes slow because when i dont connect arduino n run the prog the hex code indicator going to visa displays code exactly at the instant when i press led for transmission of code.
as per ur sugesstion i checked arduino board i found thr transmission and recieve led's are on continously.and as per my labview prog my transmission should actually start only when i click the led.may due to continues transmissiion its getting slow.
but what can i do then?
