My experience - Slow processing of previews is killing performance?

Set up:
24" iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz, 4Gb RAM, Radeon HD2600 with 256Mb, 1Tb 7200 Seagate Barracuda HD.
Aperture 3.02, RAW 3.01
OSX 10.6.3
Problem: In a project where previews are turned on, any change to a photo needs sloooow processing of the preview.
Take a Canon 5D Mark II RAW photo (25Mb or so) with some simple adjustments.
If I remove the curves adjustment (auto) I have an entry on the activity window for 90 seconds saying the photo is processing.
Adding a curves adjustment takes 100 seconds of processing before I even make a change.
If I then hit the Auto button it takes 120 seconds of processing.
Very recently I have
1) used all three of the cmd-alt options to rebuild/repair the library
2) Cleared all caches and deleted the aperture plist and a RAW plist file mentioned in another thread
3) Copied the library to another disk and back to de-fragment it
So I hope there are no problems with my library.
If I try the above actions after turning off previews the processing is down to 4 to 6 seconds for a photo.
Is anyone else seeing this massive slowdown with previews?
Is anyone seeing fast performance with previews on large photos?
I usually work with previews off and build them at the end of my workflow, but I'd like to know if I have a problem with my library / install.

Hi...I have the exact same machine as you except for the external drive. Also, I shoot RAW with a Nikon D300 (+/- 12 MB file). I'm far to be seeing the same performance as you. Processing is much faster, I would say about 2 sec for a photo. The only thing I would do if you haven't done it already is to set preview size to no larger than your screen resolution (for the 24'' iMac is "Fit within 1920 X 1920" )with a quality no higher than 6.

  • Extremely slow processing of edited photos?

    After a year's time of slow "Aperture2" processing on my "old" Macbook Pro, I recently took the step of investing in a new powerful Macbook Pro - the recent one launched a month's time ago....i.e. a MacBookPro 6,2 with Intel Core i7, 2,66 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Graphics Card. However, my experience with the processing of my photos is indeed very frustrating (SLOW).
    Any comments from users with similar specs would be most appreciated. I have heard of rumors to the extend that Aperture3 may not have been fully adjusted to the new i7-processors, however, could it rather be the interaction with the graphics board?

    I upgraded from a Gen 2 Macbook Pro 15" (2.33ghz) to the brand new 17" i7 with 8GB of RAM, and this new machine is a beast. It is quite a bit faster than my Mac Pro 2.66 quad with ATI 1900 and 8GB of RAM.
    By "slow processing", do you mean exporting versions? Importing? Adjustments? Aperture 3 is considerably faster than Aperture 2 at many operations, but slower in a few. If you're using certain brushes and adjustments, for example, the program can experience some serious slowdowns.
    You may want to check on some things like Faces and Places. Turning off face recognition can sometimes make the program more responsive. And as with 2.x, turning off Preview generation can also help quite a bit, especially importing.

  • Very slow processing on LSMW and IFS access

    Hi all,
    we have a very slow processing on LSMW and IFS access. I believe it was slow all the time in the past. This LSMW transaction only converts some data, which are stored in a flat file in the IFS and stores it again into a flat file in the IFS. It is reading the data from IFS and writing again the data into the IFS.
    IFS is not fast, I know. But do you have an similar experiences with such LOAD ?!

    Hi together,
    thanks for answering so fast.
    The jobs read from the  sysbas-IFS   /usr/sap/a/b/ and writes to /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work/ also in the sysbas-IFS.This IFS is not remote. Not through the QfileSrv.400 mechanism.
    And yes, we have a HA solution. We have two IASP's on two different iSeries and are using XSM to mirror the data.
    I have tried to increase the speed by switching off the XSM mirroring, but the speed does not increase. Sorry.
    best regards,
    Carsten Schulz

  • Slow processing and getting opening errors/warnings

    I've modified the PDF Binder sample to get a plugin that would open PDF's and Tif files, and save them as PDF/A-1b (code below).
    It's working. The problem: it's processing too slow (compared with the Actions batch processing)... and I've been getting warnings/and errors about "The imput file is corrupt or of an unknown/unsupported type" type. This is stopping my batch process until I click OK, and the it continues.
    I am trying to process a few thousand of tif files now. I tried first to use the Batch processing capability built in the Acrobat X... an it works, but only with the first 255 documents in the folder... then gives an "insufficient disk space" message for the rest of the files in the directory.
    So, 2 questions: Does anyone knows why it is so slow processing the tiff files and... how I can make my code "silent" so it does not wait for the OK after the message??
    Thanks in advance.

        Implementation
    /**    This sample implements a method to convert multiple files into PDF
      and bind the PDFs into one PDF file .
        This sample shows developers how to grammatically implement To-PDF file
      converson functionality.  Basically, the code uses AVConversionToPDFHandler
      to convert files to PDF and PDDocInsertPages()to combine PDF files.
      This plug-in is designed to run from a menu item, and by setting bEcho = false
      it may be run without any graphics user interface on the screen. Therefore, it 
      can be executed from other programs such as C IAC, VB IAC, and JavaScript
      to meet enterprise workflow needs.
        How to run it :
        - This sample adds a menu item "PDF Binder" under the Acrobat SDK submenu. Two ways to
        execute it: 1) click the menu item to run the program using a fixed file location
        hard coded; 2) press the shift key and click the menu item to choose a folder where
        files to be converted are located.
        - Without folder selection, this original code is to convert and bind files in a
        directory    C\test\PDFBinder for Win, or a folder   MacHD:test:PDFBinder for Mac.
        You can copy the test files in the project's testfiles folder to the appropriate location 
        for testing. You may locate files to be converted in another directory/folder, and
        specify the location in the string variable PDFBinderFolder in the code.
        - When you have the files to be converted ready in the specified location,
        run Acrobat 6 menu Advanced->AcrobatSDK->PDF Binder to start the operation.  There are
        echo messages informing you of the operation start and end, but you can change and
        rebuild the code to turn off the display on screen.
        - An output file PDFBinderOutput.pdf in the same location is created
        when the program succeeds. A text log file  PDFBinderLog.txt in the same
        location records the process and results.
        -  You can set bEch = false in the code to turn off any display on the screen.
        This is necessary when you  call the menu function from within other programs
        of C IAC, VB IAC, JavaScript. 
        -  An optional file filter is used to pre-process the files. The filter only allows
        the files with predefined types to be processed. You can change the file type list
        as you wish. Using a filter may ensure a smooth automation process, since you can put
        only well-tested file types in the filter. To turn off the filter, you can set
        gPDFBinderFileFilter = "" or not to define USE_FILE_FILTER 
        - Note this is a sample only, developers need to make further improvement for
        their actual use. For example, you can set up a list of files to use the method for
        the conversion and binding. And you can add code to handle special file types.

    There are some options for various APIs to run "kinda silent" - but again, Acrobat is designed for INTERACTIVE use…so "completely silent" isn't really an option.
    As for speed – you'd need to be MUCH MORE specific about where your slow downs are.  Have you profiled?

  • Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

    Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.
    I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
    I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
    Thanks again.

  • Pinwheel - Super slow processing

    I've had super slow processing time on my 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for some time, which increased with my recent upgrade to Lion (for iCloud). My MacBook has base 2GB RAM.  Should I increase RAM to, say, 4 GB (or more)?

    The minimum amount of RAM to run Lion is 2GB. I would recommend upgrading to the maximum amount of RAM your MBP can address. I suspect the reason your system is slow is that it's starved for RAM. One easy way to tell is run Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and select the System Memory tab. When you notice a slow down check the amount of FREE RAM, as a general rule of thumb if it's at or below 500MB then your system could use an upgrade. It will look similar to:
    If you decide to upgrade RAM I'd recommend 2 sources. Either www.macsales.com (OWC) or Crucial.com. My personal preference is OWC because they specialize in Macs, have good prices and great support including how-to videos. Crucial is excellent too but they don't specialize in Macs and don't have the level of support OWC has.
    BTW this is an iMac forum, your profile indicates you are using a MBP. Going forward please post in the correct forum.

  • APPLE: show us what is endlessly processing so we can KILL IT

    Attention APPLE: show us what is endlessly processing so we can KILL IT. There needs to be a way to easily see what processes are running (without jumping through hoops). Aperture should have a menu item from which the user can easily see a visible list of running processes which can be individually selected and stopped.
    At the very least, show the names of the files which are actively being processed and provide documentation on how to selectively, individually remove the offending files.

    Hey that's great- thanks!
    Perhaps Apple could show WHAT is processing in the lower part of the window where it currently just says "Processing". If not by default, with an advanced feature type of selection in Preferences.
    It would, I think, be extremely helpful to a lot of people to visually gain an up front point of reference to exactly WHAT Aperture is chewing on. Given it's current tendency at v3.02 to still exhibit this issue without really giving an indication as to exactly what it's doing behind the curtain.

  • Is my live site going to be as slow as the preview?

    How accurately does the preview function represent reality once a site is published? Is my live site going to be as slow-loading as it is in preview? (Images are optimized, and the pages giving me problems don't even have a lot of images.) I am also having trouble with my FAQ page - the anchors are not pointing where they should be (I have rechecked in the design page, and they are place correctly.) I am doing a total redesign of my existing website, so I don't want to publish until the entire site is ready to go (at least the most important pages)...but I'm freaking out, because if the live site is going to load as slow as the preview, we're going to have a problem.  SO....to those who have already published your sites - Am I worried for nothing, or is this a real concern?

    The other reason Preview in Muse will be slower is that Muse has to both generate and view the page. Muse doesn't generate the pages until you navigate to them in Muse Preview. A lot of the time is spent in the generation of each page. When your site is exported or published the generation occurs at export/publish time. When viewed in the browser the pages only need to be downloaded and viewed by the browser. That said, if a page has a large number of images that equates to a lot of data for the browser to download.

  • ST03N - process needed for user to perform this function

    Hello,
    Frequently, our auditors request ST03N information that we run for them and send to them. this information includes the number of users logged on in a certain period, the transactions that theuser has executed in the certain period, the number of times a tcode was executed in a certain period. we would like to create a process where the auditors could perform this themselves.
    I am looking for a way to accomplish this. I would to create a something that could call ST03N with the selction criteria by the auditors , but I am not sure if ST03N can be called in the program and pass the parameters.  I am also looking at using the CDHDR and CDPOS tables to get the information.
    my question is if anyone has done anything like this before and if so, what process did you use.
    I am also looking for any others ideas on how to do this and if the ideas that I mentioned above would work
    thanks in advance for the help.

  • Locks and/or slow processing

    Hello,
    Thanks in advance!!
    Whenever, our system receives a flood of events, we try to update the database by first locking a certain row using "select for update". However, the system seems to lock up (I think it is very slow in processing) for a long time as evident in the query below. Can anybody provide some insights was what we might be doing incorrectly as far as the database set up, tuning etc.
    One connection has an exclusive rowlock on a table called NODE and an exclusive lock on SYS.ALL_CATALOG. Others are all waiting to get a lock on SYS.ALL_CATALOG (actually it is some SYS.XXX table all the time). All connections are actually making the same "select for update" call.
    When I execute the query as follows I get a result which shows a very long wait time (approx: 515 seconds). isn't this too much?

  • Slow processing in full screen mode

    Hi All
    I recently upgraded my camera to an EOS 5d mk 2. I take photos in full RAW, so resulting images are around 26 MB.I then import these as managed reference files into Aperture.
    No issue with import to Aperture or image quality.
    However, when viewing the photos in full screen mode (to rank / edit etc), they take a long time to properly open / load (about 20 seconds each.) Each time I re-open Aperture, each image needs to be re-loaded in full screen size - which can become very time consuming. Edits are equally very slow to process.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to manage this and avoid the time lag (other than downgrading to smaller image sizes). For example...
    - I currently have 2GB of memory and a 128 mb graphics card. Do I need to upgrade to handle such large images?
    - Can I reset a preference to avoid having to reload the full size image every time I open Aperture?
    - How can I speed up editing speed (nothing too fancy done here - I note from other posts the "7 deadly edits" that can cause processing to slow up)
    Any ideas gratefully received!!!
    Many thanks
    Paul

    I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
    iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
    First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
    Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

  • Slow processing and exporting

    We have been using Aperture 2 for about a year and love it. Upgraded to 3.0.3 recently and find the processing and exporting very slow. We are using the iMac 2.16 GHz, 4GB 667 ..... because of the matt screen it is much nicer for photographic editing. The newer iMac's with glossy screens are horrible because there is a density problem being darker at the top then at the bottom. Also a warm cast at the top and a cold cast at the bottom. This means we don't want to upgrade to the new models with more ram.
    Any advice?

    There are something that you can do to optimise the performance of Aperture whilst you are editing and exporting.
    Easy ones
    1. Turn off faces (when not in use)
    2. Turn off create previews (when not in use)
    3. Do exports overnight when nothing else is running
    4. Run regular system maintenance, DIsk Utility
    5. Run regular Aperture first Aid, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    6. Ensure harddrives are no more than 80/90% of capacity
    Invest in
    7. Have your images and library on dedicated fast drives, connected via a fast interface, (USB2 is not a fast interface).
    8. Max the RAM out on your machine
    9. If in business, a new machine every three years.
    900 images even at 1 min per image, 15 hrs, depending on how many adjustments, what file type you are working from, what file type, size and compression you are exporting to, lots of variables.
    I agree though 40hrs something needs improving in your system.

  • Mac has become insanely slow : Processes SystemUIServer, UserEventAgent and loginwindow using a lot of memory

    I have been using my Mac for for many months without any problem. But recently all of a sudden the Mac became insanely slow.
    I opened Activity Manager to see what was happening. For three processes SystemUIServer, UserEventAgent and loginwindow, the memory gradually increases and reaches upto 2 GB for each process. This completely hangs up my Mac.
    I tried the following:
    Restart Mac
    Restart Mac in safe mode
    Manually kill the processes
    Remove Date and Time from Menu bar (this was supposed to be the problem for the SysteUIServer process's memory according to many users)
    Removed the externally connected keyboard and mouse(some had suggested this for UserEventAgent's memory)
    No luck with any of those. The moment I log in, the memory spikes up.
    Any idea what on earth is happening? Please help.

    Create a new user account with admin status. Log out of your account, then log into the new one. Does your problem stop? If not then boot into Safe Mode. Does the problem stop? Boot normally. Does the problem stop.
    If none of the above help, then you have a corrupted system and need to reinstall Lion.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
