NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR import is too slow

I am converting a database from its current character set WE8ISO88591 to AL32UTF8
I am using NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR so I do not have to increase column lengths.
I follow Oracle instructions:
144808.1
313175.1
Except import which takes way too long.
I took a full export of WE8ISO8859p1 Database and now importing it in AL32UTF8.
It is always difficult to prove where the slowness is coming from; but I think it has to do something with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS. On the same
server; if new database was in WE8ISO8859P1, a 5 million row table import took 2 hours; but in Al32UTF8 with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS it is taking 1 day!!!
Any idea how to improve the performance of import.

11.1.0.7 on HP UNIX 11.2
exp system/$SPSWD file=$PIPE_NAME log=$TLOGFILE consistent=Y \
full=yes constraints=y compress=N statistics=NONE
I fist did imp with rows=N so all the table/sindexes were created without any data. Then I had to run several alter statements to set charactersistics of
imp system/$SPSWD file=$PIPE_NAME log=$TLOGFILE \
fromuser=maximo touser=maximo buffer=10000000 rows=N commit=y ignore=Y constraints=y >> $LOGFILE 2>
&1
Then I had to run several alter statements to set charactersistics of NLS_LENEGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR as per metalink notes..
imp system/$SPSWD file=$PIPE_NAME log=$TLOGFILE \
fromuser=xxxxx touser=xxxxx buffer=10000000 commit=y ignore=Y constraints=y

OWB-Import does not distinguish between nls_length_semantics char and byte.

We have a 10g-DB with UTF8 charset and nls_length_semantics=char and we've created an OWB warehouse module for 10g with several tables in it. After deploy operation for a table the column length attributs are looking nice. But if we re-import this table the varchar fields have the threefold length!
This makes life hard for us, because sometimes it's necessary to reconcile discrepancies in development cycle and some tables have about 150 columns.
Does anybody have suggestions?
The OWB version is 10.1.0.3.0.
Regards
Ralf

Ralf,
Oracle stores the length of VARCHAR columns in two ways in its metadata. One is the length as required by the application, and the other is the length required to store UTF data.
One UTF character can take upto 3 characters of storage. When OWB reads in the definition from data dictionary, it uses the actual characters allocated to the column, and thus u see a three fold increase in VARCHAR columns.
Try this for your table
select
column_name, data_length, char_length
from
user_tab_columns
where
table_name='nameOfTable'
And that is how Oracle designed the database, but unfortunately OWB does not have that twin way of seeing things.

Import taking too much time

Hi all
I'm quite new to database administration.my problem is that i'm trying to import dump file but one of the table taking too much time to import .
Description::
1 Export taken from source database which is in oracle 8i character set is WE8ISO8859P1
2 I am taking import in 10 g with character set utf 8 and national character set is also same.
3 dump file is about 1.5 gb.
4 I got error like value is too large for column so in target db which is in utf 8 i convert all coloumn from varchar2 to char.
5 while taking a import some table get import very fast bt at perticular table it get very slow
please help me thanks in advance.......

Hello,
4 I got error like value is too large for column so in target db which is in utf 8 i convert all coloumn from varchar2 to char.
5 while taking a import some table get import very fast bt at perticular table it get very slow For the point *4* it's typically due to the CHARACTER SET conversion.
You export data in WE8ISO8859P1 and import in UTF8. In WE8ISO8859P1 characters are encoded in *1 Byte* so *1 CHAR = 1 BYTE*. In UTF8 (Unicode) characters are encoded in up to *4 Bytes* so *1 CHAR > 1 BYTE*.
For this reason you'll have to modify the length of your CHAR or VARCHAR2 Columns, or add the CHAR option (by default it's BYTE) in the column datatype definition of the Tables. For instance:
VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)The NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter may be used also but it's not very well managed by export/Import.
So, I suggest you this:
1. set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR on your target database and restart the database.
2. Create from a script all your Tables (empty) on the target database (without the indexes and constraints).
3. Import the datas to the Tables.
4. Import the Indexes and constraints.You'll have more information on the following Note of MOS:
Examples and limits of BYTE and CHAR semantics usage (NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS) [ID 144808.1]For the point *5* it may be due to the conversion problem you are experiencing, it may also due to some special datatype like LONG.
Else, I have a question, why do you choose UTF8 on your Target database and not AL32UTF8 ?
AL32UTF8 is recommended for Unicode uses.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Application running too slow on sun T5440 but run normal on sun M3000

Please help me find the bottleneck of my T5440 server?Thanks so much for all your help.

Moderator Comment and Action:
@ O.P.,
You cross-posted this to at least two other forum web sites:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/application-running-too-slow-on-sun-sparc-t5440-but-run-normal-on-sun-m3000-4175411155/
http://www.unix.com/solaris/189945-application-running-too-slow-sun-sparc-t5440-but-run-normal-sun-m3000.html
... and didn't think that was important enough to simply mention the fact.
Timestamps suggest that OTN was the last place you posted to.
Poor forum etiquette.
Why would anyone spend the time to try to give help that you have already received elsewhere? That's a waste of their time.
(Yes, you already received the suggestion to use Dtrace in one of those other sites.)

My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick. Any suggestions ? ThankYou

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
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. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
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. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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.
6. 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. Don't log in as root.
7. 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 the browser window, 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:

8. 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. 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 the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
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.
11. 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 what happened. No harm will be done.
12. 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.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try 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.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. 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.

ABAP IMPORT phase is slow in ECC 6.0 installation on Solaris 10

Hi gurus,
I installed ECC 6.0 on Solaris 10 operating system and Oracle 10.2.0.2. I installed all solaris patces and Oracle interim patches before the installation. Firstly I added only 2 parameters in /etc/system file. This parameters like this: "set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffffffffffff" ,"set rlim_fd_cur=8192". Then I started the installation. When the system check the parameters I have medium warning about set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffffffffffff .After that I didn't restart the solaris machine and recheck the parameters.After I removed this parameter I didn't have any warning and I started the installation. Everything was ok. I don't have any error about installation. The processes are continueing but now ABAP import is very very slow. Only 5 processes finished from 38 in ABAP IMPORT phase in 14 hours. Is it normal? Why this step is very slow? What can I do to increase this step? If I add "set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffffffffffff" again when processes is running, does this step accelerate? If I change the /etc/system parameters do I have to restart the solaris machine? What can I do to resolve this problem?
Best regards,

Hi Arif
<i>Only 5 processes finished from 38 in ABAP IMPORT phase in 14 hours. Is it normal?</i>
No, this is not normal. As far as i know, it is possible to set a parallel degree in sapinst. Of course this needs more hardware ressources. Did you do that?
To further diagnose your problem, you should check cpu and disk usage. It would be interesting which are the top processes running. Either your system is too slow, or some ressource is a bottleneck.

DVD-Drive is too slow on Satellite A100-507

the dvd-drive mat****a dvd-ram uj-841s of my satelite a100-507 is too slow. (~1000 Kb/s - much too slow to watch a movie - and it dosn't depend on the player.)
the technical specifications of the manufacturer is 8x read + write for DVDs, even i can write DVDs up to 2.4x
is this a software problem? (i'm using Windows XP)

Hi
Are you not able to watch DVD on your notebook or what is the problem?
I have investigated a little bit and found some drive specifications:
Maximum read speed:
CD-ROM 24xMax
DVD-ROM 8xMax
Maximum write speed:
CD-R 24xMax
CD-RW 4xMax
HS CD-RW 10xMax
US CD-RW 10xMax
US+ CD-RW N/A
DVD-R 8xMax
DVD-R(Double Layer) 2xMax
DVD-RW 4xMax
DVD+R 8xMax
DVD+R(Double Layer) 2.4xMax
DVD+RW 4xMax
DVD-RAM 5xMax
So you info about 8x read + write for DVDs is not exactly true. It depends on the DVD medium.
Additionally its important to mention that these are the max values.
Sometimes the drive reads or writes with lower speed. It depends on a cache status.

Golive CS2 too slow on my Mac g5 to get any work done?

For the past 2 years I have been slowly building a rather large web site (about 2000 hours invested). We will be selling items we import from india (my girlfriend and I spend 3 moths a year in India) and then there is an entire section on India travel tips, photos and travel logs.
I am pleased with Golive 6.01 and recently converted my site to CS2, just to find it is very slow on my macintosh G5 and many weird bugs And site looks the same as in 6.01 when previewed in various browsers. Also in CS2 when I click on preview button, the page I want to work on closes and the page that brought me to that page pops up.
I bought a G5 macintosh which should run CS2 more quickly but:
I have yet to see my site in Explorer 7 for Windows because Microsoft did not make Explorer for Mac after version 5.0.
My question is:
Why not complete site in 6.01 and then before it is published convert to CS2. I can't get anything done with CS2 it is just way too slow.
Thanks Stuart
(Could installing 2 versions of Golive on one drive be generating the bugs?)

Hi all:
Been cleaning up Site (weird files not in my site but on desktop keep showing up as errors) got ride of them. Turned of my internet connection). Things seem to be getting better.......for now. Working on G4....will move to my G5 and see.
Might pull this one out.
Why several target files with only one source show as an error is an irratation because help says it's not really an error and can be ignored.
OH...one quick question do SOURCE files get uploaded to host when one publishes? Or perhaps a better question! Do SOURCE files need to be uploaded to host. I suspect not...but I also suspect It's OK..might just slow things down a bit?
Thanks to all of you.....this miserable world needs more like you all!

Solution Manager too Slow

Dear All,
We are running SAP Solution Manager 7.01 on Oracle 11g in AIX.
This central Solution Manager system is connected to more than 150 satellite systems.
The response of the system is too slow while we take transactions like solman_workcenter, RZ20 etc.
Is this because the system needs to fetch/collect infromation from all these 150 satellites before preseting the screen.
Solman is running with 10 CPU, 50 GB RAM and 82 GB swap.
The portal pages in the transactions takes more time to load.
Could you please help me to pin point the bottle neck in the system.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
Basically with 150 systems you may experience network capacity issue.
It does not matter if the system is the Solution Manager or any other SAP system. The analysis start from inspecting the overall time distribution by using the /nSTAD, then depending on the outcome check persistency, remote communication and locking with ST05 .
If in STAD there are huge wait times then definitely the network capacity should be inspected with OS-level monitoring tools, same for the CPU, memory and disk.
Regarding the java side views, it is very important to inspect the java side performance using the JDSR statistics in NetWeaver Web Administrator. There you would see the java side resource consumption to localize a potential memory consumption or CPU related issue. It is very important to clarify if the bottleneck is not the Garbage collection in java - if that is the case, the heap size parameters need to be tuned.
Best Regards,
Sylvia

Disk too slow / System overload HELP?

I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this!:
I purchased a G4 PowerBook around six months ago, with Logic Pro pre-installed. Since then, I have mixed and mastered lots of music that was recorded on a previous system and imported. I was running multiple tracks simultaneously with tons of plug-ins and everything ran smoothly on my new Mac. HOWEVER, within the last month, my playback capabilities have been severely reduced. When I try to play back even two tracks simultaneously (with just one compressor or reverb), I get the error message, "Disk too slow / System overload."
My first reaction to this problem was to check my disk space and see how much room I had left: it turns out I have over one third of my harddrive space still available. I checked my memory capabilities and they seem to be more than adequate. I bought new virus protection, too, and ran scans to see if that might make a difference, but it hasn't. I don't understand why this is happening on a system so new. ANY ADVICE YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Many thanks.

It is generally not a good idea to run logic on the same drive that contains your audio files and samples. Most of the data involved with logic whether it be programs or individual audio files will be saved physically all over the place on your hard drive. At a certain point the actual part of the drive that reads the data will not be able to move around to all the little different audio files it needs to access for the session on top of running the program and whatever other software that is up. It is best to save all your audio files and samples to a fast external drive (7200rpm at least) otherworldcomputing.com has great drives that have high quality cases and the option to put any drive they have in stock into the case. (i would recommend seagate) If you are going to continue running your entire sessions off the internal drive then you need to keep up with your basic mac housekeeping. You should repair your permissions 2 times a month (use disk utility) You should buy a good directory repair program such as disk warrior. The directory is exactly what it sounds like. It keeps track of where everything is on the computer. If your directory is corrupt the computer will have to do an extra manual search to find what its looking for. If your directory is healthy your computer will make a straight shot to the file you are looking for.

CoreAudio: Disk is too slow (Prepare) error message?

Hi,
In a Logic project I'm currenly working on, each time I open the file and press play for the first time, Logic hangs for 15 seconds or so and gives me this error message:
CoreAudio: Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
(-10001)
If I then stop, rewind and play again everything works fine. It only happens after this specific project is first opened and played.
Any ideas what this could be about? Disk is definitely not too slow. I get the same error if I start at a one track passage or bypass all effects and then play.
The file in question contains imported AIFF files, imported MP3 files as well 100 or so MIDI tracks.
Logic version is 7.2.1.
Thanks,
Maarten

It's in the energy saver preferences, uncheck spin down drive when idle thing.
HOWEVER, I posted this in another post, there is a bug where external firewire drives are still getting spun down with this checked off. I reported the bug to apple, they asked for more info, they said thanks, and last I checked the bug was still open, which tells me it wasn't reported before, and they're actually working on it.
So don't be surprised if unchecking the box doesn't fix it for your external drives.
The trick I use to get around it is simply double click the file on the external drive to open the song. That spins the drive up pretty good because you have to open a finder window which has to list all the folders etc...
hope this helps.

Custom cursor is too slow in FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE

My custom cursor is fast in window mode (even maximized) but not in fullscreen where it is really slow.
Is there a solution to this?

Dear Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
I have put together a simple test case (see attached zip file) and the custom cursor is still "too slow to be usable" in fullscreen mode. Run it and see that the cursor is fast in window mode. Then hit ctrl+enter to go into fullscreen and see how slow the cursor becomes.
Code:
package
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip
private var _mousePointer:MousePointer;
public function Main()
super();
Mouse.hide();
_mousePointer = new MousePointer();
addChild(_mousePointer);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyboardDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMoved);
private function goFullscreen(fullscreen:Boolean)
if(fullscreen)
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
else
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
private function onMouseMoved(evt:MouseEvent)
_mousePointer.x = mouseX;
_mousePointer.y = mouseY;
evt.updateAfterEvent();
private function onKeyboardDown(evt:KeyboardEvent)
if(evt.controlKey && evt.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
goFullscreen(stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL);

Mail server is too slow to deliver the mail to internal domain

You should use statspack to check what are the main waits.
Some indicators to check :
- too many fts/excessive IO => check sql statements (missing index, wrong where clause)
- explain plan for most important queries : using cbo or rbo ? If cbo, statistics should be up to date. If rbo, check acces path.
-excessive logfile switch (> 5 per hour) : increase logfile or disable logging
- undo waits => not enough rollback segments (if you don't set AUM)
- data waits => alter initrans, pctfree, pctused
- too many chaining rows => rebuild set of datas or rebuild table
- too many levels in indexes => rebuild index
- excessive parsing : use bind variable or alter parameter cursor_sharing
- too many sort on disks => increase sort_area_size and create others temporary tablespace on separate disks
- too many blocks reads for a row => db_block_size too few or too many chaining rows
- too many lru contention => increase latches
- OS swapping/paging ?
Too improve performance :
- alter and tune some parameters : optimizer_mode, sort_area_size, shared_pool_size, optimizer_index_cost_adj, db_file_multiblock_read_count...
- keep most useful packages in memory
- gather regularly statistics (if using cbo)
How do your users access to the db ?

TCP-IP ICOM is too slow?

Hello everybody,
I am new to DasyLab (I have good experience with labview though) and am trying to build up a TCP-IP Connection between a PLC and DasyLab10 using the ICOM module . So far I managed to build up a connection and send measured data to dasylab. There it gets decoded correctly and it even displays correctly after some fine-tuning in the options of that ICOM module. But the problem is, the ICOM module works too slow for my TCP-Server.
I have two channels so far and I do send pakets with 2 floats in it every millisecond. No delimiter, no string, nothing else just 8 bytes. So its around 8kB/s. I had different delimiter in it, but some people stated out, that this could slow down the interpretation process.
I tinkered around with packet-size on Dasylab as well as sending more then 2 floats per TCP-packet with no effect. The TCP-connection gets shut down(the server does it, because of an error) within some seconds after the buffer of DasyLab filled up.
I got it working so far for a sample-rate of 1kHz and the packet-size of 1 with maximum CPU-Load on one core (With the "One Measurement per"-option: Gathermode), but only when the line-plotter is minimized. Then it behaves almost as intended. When I increase the packet-size within the ICOM module, than its gets laggy again, but the CPU-Load drops significantly. It seems to process the data considerably slower then with a packet-size of 1. It takes the ICOM Module between 2-10 seconds to process 1 sec of data depending on packet-size with higher packet-size resulting in a slower process. IThe global data-rate and packet-size does not seem to have any influence on that laggyness.
The goal is actually a sample-rate of 2,5kHz with 25channels, which would be around 250kB/s on a direct crossover FastEthernet connection. It should be possible to save all the data to hdd as well as some sort of live view of the data like a line plotter. It would be okay if the plotter only refreshes every 10th second as long as it shows the data live(with no lag, correct timestamp) and completely(every data-point sent by the server is in there, no duplicates).
The wiring diagram so far only includes one ICOM module plus a digital instrument and a line plotter. I have attached it to this message.
Is my task really impossible with DasyLab? Do I need a faster PC? It has got a Core 2 Duo 2Ghz CPU. I feel like I am missing something important to get this up and running.
Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
Have a nice day

Phillip,
The module is simply not designed for high speed data. You have tried all of the settings... it suggests that DASYLab cannot keep up with the data stream even if you tell it that it's coming in at a rapid rate and to use a larger block.
The only other option is to tackle writing a driver, or having someone write a driver for you. We have two ways to do that - DASYLab 13 Full version has the Script module, or you can purchased the Extension toolkit to write a module using C.

Lightroom 2.4 Is Too Slow To Use As A Professional Product

Hello -
I would like to know how to get Lightroom to respond in less than 4-8 seconds for almost any task.
From returning to Grid mode (4.5 seconds) to adjusting a routine crop and angle (5-7 seconds per move, 60-90 seconds total) to simply shift-selecting three to fifty photos (4-9 seconds) no matter what I do in Lightroom, it is worse that Photoshop 1.0 on a Mac Plus. Really.
Returning to Lightroom from another app - 7 seconds.
Getting the menus to drop down - 4 seconds.
My lightroom settings:
standard preview size: 1680
Quality: High
Discard 1:1: Never
write changes to XMP: off
Catalog: 127 mb on F drive (24 gig free)
Catalog: 13.5k photos, 95 gig on F drive
Cache: 6 gig on F drive
NVIDIA settings: performance over quality
My computer:
HP 8730 elitebook
4 gig ram
XP Pro, SP2
Proc: Core 2 Duo T9400, 2666 MHz (10 x 267)
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
Chipset: Cantiga PM45
Video: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M (1024 MB)
(2x) 250 gig 7200 rmp HD
Before anyone says to export to a new catalog and re-import, etc, use a smaller catalog, etc, be advised that I have done all of that. I have imported only 250 images to a new catalog, on a newly installed OS, with Lightroom as the ONLY application. Still it acts this sluggish.
I have scoured the boards for solutions, and having tried all the varied fixes to no avail, I really quite strongly feel that a person should not EVER be in the position or running some of the most powerful available hardware and STILL have to wait interminable seconds for Lightroom to respond.
This software, as it stands now on the PC platform (unless I am missing something quite obvous) is absolutely unusable in its present state.
Can someone from Adobe or a board guru please respond in kind to my request for help?

Partitioning ONE drive to contain system files, application, cache, catalog and photos=SLOW.
It really doesn't matter that the drive is 7200 or 10k rpm if ALL items reside on the same drive. The MacPro has four bays. One drive for system and catalog, second for cache, third for photos=FAST.
Wow, I'm glad you repeated that, and used capitalized text so that I would be sure to understand.
Clearly, the benchmarks I have off of the various evolutions of my last 3, $10k computers must be in error. (single system disk, RAID-0 system disk, 10k RPM system disk, RAID-0 3x -10K rpm system disks, multiple scratch volumes on different drives, singular scratch volumes on RAIDed drives, tested via benchmark programs and application specific batch tests, etc.etc.)
More importantly as an issue of forum protocol, you didn't actually read my post.

I partition about 10% of the outside of a drive as separate and put the information I need to get to most quickly which tends to be the system folder then scratch disk in a another separate partition and then I leave the rest on that drive as gobs of 'B' space for media and other crap files, reserving the first 10%-30% of the outside of a different drive (or RAID-0 sets) for my files and Lightroom catalogs.
I'm throwing 370 mb/sec between two individual sets of 4 drive RAID-0 sets. Single 7200rpm drives sling about 80 mb/sec. My drive arrangement isn't the reason Lightroom IS TOO SLOW TO USE AS A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT.
Also, since I referenced and linked the former software engineer turned photo FREAK in my post, whose blog I started reading last year corroborating the decisions I've made in my previous system setups with immaculate documentation and testing procedure your response even more seems like the entire reason I rarely bother posting in community forums. You seem to be here to spout, not to contribute and learn.
Take a look at all of the info contained here: (I've already read it, all of it, and more)
