Performance and Memory Problems on OSX

Firefox seems to have some sort of memory leak. Even once I remove all the add-ons, and no matter which web pages, after about a day, Firefox is slow and I have to restart the browser. When using the diagnostics within Mac OSX, Firefox is consuming twice as much memory as Safari and is consistently the biggest CPU consumer. It would be nice if someone profiled the code and actually made sure it was optimized.

We are with the same problem. We read a lot about the vm in the RHAS 3.0. The vm was improved but, with bugs. We found a lot of inactive pages that, after the clean state, does'nt deallocate properly. This makes the thread kernel "kswapd" works a lot, taking all the cpu in the io process.
There is a known bug related to "kswapd" thread in the RHAS 3.0 kernel. The RedHat promess to solve the problem in the nexts releases (I really doubt it, because there was already 3 releases after its announces).
We have checked some strange behaviors too... The machines with Linux RH AS 3.0 + Oracle products (OracleDB and OracleIAS) are freezing randomically. We think that the shared memory are allocating kernel space pages, but we didn't found any evidences yet.
The workarounds (not tested yet):
- Upgrade to the latest kernel.
or
- Use the hugemem kernel (even when using less than 16GB of RAM, some guys reported that this solve the problem)
or
- Compiling a clean kernel directly from kernel.org. In this case, we don't have support from Oracle, but maybe the problem could be resolved until RH publish some bugless vm code with your kernel.

Performance and memory problems

Hello.
I've installed Oracle AS 10g in Redhat Linux EL 3. The machine has 3 GB of memory, 2 GB of swap. Its a dual Xeon 2.6 Ghz.
Imagine i reboot the machine. Everything works fine. The problem is, in 6 days, it fills all the swap memory and almost the memory available. If it reaches this values, the machine gets so slow... To correct temporary the situation, i need to perform a reboot. But the question is this is Linux, not windows...
Does anyone has an ideia why this is happening?? i've never seen something like this... after 6 days, the only memory available of 5 GB are 30 MB... this is not possible.
Help please !

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

JPA @Lob annotation and memory problem

Hi.
Is there any way to overcome the memory problem with @Lob types?
FetchType.LAZY means lazy as it spelled. Am I right?
And it doesn't mean any stream handling of big sized lobs. For lobs are so big that my physical memory can't hold it.
@Entity public class Parent implements Serializable {
    @Lob private byte[] big; // what can I do if it is to big to hold in memory?
}Is there any standard way for this problem?
I found that openejb serves *@Persistent* annotation for InputStream/Reader for this purpose.
But I want to know if there is another way for more portability.
You know what?
I heard from a JPA spec guy that this problem (maybe it's not a problem) won't even be considered in next version. (2.0?)
How horrible...
Is it can be a good think that split the Lob column into a OneToMany children?
This is the best output, for now, from my head.
@Entity public class Parent implements Serializable {
    @OneToMany private Collection<Child> children;
@Entity public class Child implements Serializable {
    @Lob private byte[] chopped; // small enough to fit into memory
}

If the Lob is too big for your memory, then you are best off handling whatever processing you need to do on it through raw JDBC. If your only interested on the first n bytes, then you could probably map to something like this using a view the truncate the lob, and map your class to the view instead of the table.
You should also be able to define your variable as Blob or Clob and get the locator directly. But the locator is tied to the connection, so will not be usable after the connection is returned to the pool. I'm not sure how such a lob could be model if it can't be read into memory, perhaps as some special JPA Lob type that can return a stream on the data by re-querying the lob from the db.
What exactly to you want to do with the lob?

Mouse and memory problems (975X Pl pe)

First Hello,
this is my first post here, hope you can help me
PC configuration in my signature
OK. Here goes
1.   And most annoying problem – mouse problem (A4tech NB-90 mouse, connected to usb)
Mouse stops working, randomly (maybe once every month). It’s happening when booting windows. Mouse doesn’t work, actually all the led’s are blinking but it’s not recognized by windows. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn’t work (nothing happens). Rebooting windows doesn’t help (still not working).
Solution to my problems is to shutdown the computer and disconnect the power cable from my PC, then reconnect it again and start the PC all over again. NOW it’s working!! WT ?
I tested mouse (3 months) on the other pc and it works OK there, so he is not the problem.
o yea, I formated hdd, and installed fresh windows and still no luck.
2.   Memory problem on 800MHz – I think this is because of incompatibility with motherboard or too weak psu
By default (motherboard)memory works on 667MHz. (and with this setup everything is fine)
The problem starts when I put it on 800MHz in bios – than system becomes instable (random reboots)
a.   Memory tested with memtest at 667MHz (both and than separate modules, 4 hours each test) -> NO ERRORS
b.   Memory tested with memtest at 800MHz (both and than separate modules) -> Never saw so much errors in my life :(
I doubt I’ll solve this problem (except buying new memory modules), but you guys know more than me so I’ll let you decide.
and yeah, sorry for my bad English!
Thanks
Bas

KT4VL CPU and Memory problems

I have a KT4VL that I updated to BIOS version 1.60 with the liveupdate feature (I really like that by the way). Anyway, I have two problems with the board. I have a AMD 1700+ XP 1.47Ghz/266 CPU. The manual and your website says I should change the CPU FSB Clock under Frequency/Voltage control to 133 for that CPU. When I do, the system locks (corrupted a file and forced a reinstall of XP that was a pain). I've repeated that and when I change it back to 100Mhz, it doesn't lock. The web site says to change the CPU ratio to 11 with the 133 setting which I did but the system still locks/reboots suddenly. I even tried changing the Spread Spectrum setting from the 25% default to none but it still crashes.
The second issue is that I have a PC3200 DDR 256MB DIMM (Samsung
K4H560838D-TCC4) that is specifically listed in the manual as a recommended DIMM. However, if I put it as the only DIMM in the system, it doesn't POST or boot and gives 3 Long Beeps. The D bracket indicates that it's a memory problem. I exchanged the DIMM for the new one to make sure I just didn't get a bad one but it has the same behavior with the new one. When I put it in with a PC2700 DIMM I have, it doesn't boot or beep. It just sits there.
What BIOS settings do I need to put to support my CPU and memory correctly?

Bas,
Ok, I'll try 1.7. You think that will fix the memory problem?
The power supply is an AMD approved 350W power supply so I don't think that's it. I'll double check the cooling setup (it's a volcano so it oughta be good) but cooling could definitely be it.
The only thing I need you to verify for me is the BIOS settings...Will the AUTO setting work for the PC3200? Or do I need to specify it? And for the CPU, the FSB should be 133 and the ratio 11? Any other changes? Should I mess with the spread spectrum settings?
I guess I'd like to verify what my bios settings should be to support my CPU and memory.
Lastly, will I be able to use both my pc3200 and my pc2700 DIMM at the same time?
Thanks so much for your time and help.

Performance and usability problems with Illustrator imports

I am usually an enthusiast advocate for Adobe Software. As a UI/Interaction designer I regularly showcase your products as a shining example.
That's why I am somewhat frustrated about the Flash Catalyst Beta. I trust you guys to come out with SOMETHING GREAT eventually, but I have just spend an entire day with Catalyst and it was not particularly a joy. Couldn't you have released it a bit later to save me the frustration?
Situation:
- Medium size Adobe Illustrator CS4 import (10 screens/stages with 20-100 Illustrator objects per screen)
- Target : 800x600 embedded UI for medical product
- Illustrator file chosen as starting point
Performance / reliability problems include
- Crashing (Vista Core2Duo with 2gig of Ram)
- Super poor performance (wait 8 seconds to hide/show a layer)
- No show of thumbnail images anywhere
- No matching of document size (exact 800x600 from Illustrator became 800x599)
- Playing the file did not work
Usability issues
- Poor test display
- Poor match with Illustrator file (things seem to be rendered differently!)
- Window selecting does not work well
- No hand tool
- No ability to lock layers
- Cluttered interface (Not enough space for the "stage"or what you call it)
- No way to resize Illustrator elements from one of 9 edge/center points
- etc. etc.
Building a wireframe version from the ground up (with Illustrator import) seemed to work fine
I played around with the MS Blend beta for a while, and while the basic concept of your product is much more clear, the execution of the MS product in the beta phase was lightyears ahead in terms of stability and usability
I'm sure you can do better!
Koen

Koen,
Thank you for the detailed feedback about the performance problems you have experienced and your thoughts about features you would like. Let me respond to each of your points
Performance: We are aware that Catalyst doesn't perform well with large complex files. We have made many performance improvements since the current plublic beta, so you should find Catalyst more responsive with larger projects when the next beta is posted.
Here are a few things you can do to work around the performance issues you are seeing with the current beta:
- Consider rasterizing complex elements that don't need to scaled in Catalyst
- In Catalst turn complex artwork into optimized graphics using the "Convert to optimized graphics" in the float HUD (heads up display panel)
We have also found that particularly on Windows that Catalyst can run out of memory with large files. This area is also being worked on so stay tuned for the next beta.
Features:
- Poor test display [tv] Do you mean the design display doesn't match the appearance of the published project?
- Poor match with Illustrator file (things seem to be rendered differently!) [tv] we have fixed a lot of bugs here. Expect this to improve a lot in the next beta
- No hand tool - [tv] coming soon :-)
- No ability to lock layers [tv] coming soon :-)
- Cluttered interface (Not enough space for the "stage"or what you call it) [tv] Yes, Catalyst currently cannot dock/undock panels
- No way to resize Illustrator elements from one of 9 edge/center points [tv] This is also a known limitation. I agree it is useful
I hope the next beta comes closer to meeting your expectations. A lot of performance work and new features has been done since the last public posting, so look forward to beta II.

Performance and Contention problem with the database ?

Hello!
I am having one database which is used by around 95 thousand
users.Database contain about 4 lakh records. The database is
going smooth and perfect.
The problem(perfomance is slow and there is contension too) came
when i made 4 web applications which contain atleast 1000 hits
(1000 records are inserted in the database ) per day.
Now the db is not going so smooth(contention and performance
problem).
I think this is happening becuase of those 4 web applications.
So should i make new database for that 4 applications or i need
to get the new system for it or there is another way through i
can tune my running database.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Seemab

Hi,
If i well understand, u have one database and u insert 4000 rows
per day and u have performance problem ?
I think u have a big problem cause it's not really a big
intensity on a base. So u should have big problems on ur
database design such as undersized memory area, bad disk
repartition, bad types of indexes or something like that.
To decrease the contention, u should separate ur data and index
datafiles over differents disks and specialize tablespace by the
granularity of the table.
But u r not enough precise to expect a precise answer; could u
be more precise ? as the server u have, data volumes, a select *
from v$system_event, etc...
Good Luck,

OpenGL Photoshop CS5 and memory management by OSX 10.6

I was able to find out quite a bit about the secrets around this issue - see my post on "NVIDIA Geforce 9400M and Adobe Photoshop/CS5 question".
What I still do not understand is the following Apple-remark (in this case on the 17" PowerBook)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
Intel HD Graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
Memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 256MB.
For me as a layman it reads "You buy 512 MB and 256MB of graphic memory but if your programs will get it will be decided by OSX 10.6"
What I am also wondering if there is a utility or a Terminal-input that allows to influence how much OpenGL gets from the regular memory DRAMs.

Since the posting I have had no single problem with my 144MB VRAM - though it is somewhat noticeble that more VRAM would accelarate like when I use complex plugin from NIK or parallel video recording with EyeTV. What I avoid is to work with Photoshop, export downloaded TV-clips with EyeTV AND watch life Television.

Iweb and memory problem?

Hey all,
I've been using iWeb as a blog and now have close to 200 posts. A few have photos and most posts are extremely short. Now when I use iWeb, it's a royal pain. I can't use any other applications when it's publishing. When I initially open the application, It can take several minutes to even get a new posting page up. This didn't happen for the first several months when I had the computer. Also, Safari seizes up often now as well, especially if iWeb is running in the background.
I haven't added any extra onerous applications, like games, and I don't run memory intensive apps like photoshop when iWeb is open. This is driving me crazy. Any solutions? Or do I just have to buy RAM (which I don't understand because the app worked fine several months ago.)
I had an iBook for well over a year(this is a MacBook), and didn't have problems like this. Admittedly didn't have iWeb either. I thought this was a meaner, leaner, faster machine, what gives?
Thanks in advance,
Brilliat-Savarin
macbook

Brilliat-Savarin:
Without iWeb running are you experiencing any slowdown in the overall performance of your MacBook? How much free space do you have? How much RAM do you have?
You could try clearing out the iWeb cache folder located in your User/Library/Caches folder.
Do you Twango?

Question regarding all the x58 Pro-e and memory problems

I've notice a serious amount of issues when it comes to people not seeing all of their RAM or not getting triple-channel status.
Before I even post my issue, I was wondering if there is a general fix for everyone experiencing these problems, because it seems I'm have the exact same issue as everyone else.

Oh well. Its basically like I said - its the same problem most other people are having. I have 6 GB of DDR3 RAM but only 4 GB ever shows up. And it shows in Dual channel mode, when everything should be triple channel 3 x 2GB. First, here are the specs for my system, which was just recently purchased.
Model of the motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E LGA
Model of the memory: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit
Model of the CPU: Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366 130W
Model of the GPU: SAPPHIRE TOXIC 100282TXSR Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
Model of the HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Model of the PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V
Type of Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I have tried everything. I've updated the BIOS, I've tested each stick, I've even RMA'd the board itself, but to no avail. I have 3 sticks of RAM in each of the DIMM_A slots. Each stick is 2 GB each, but the POST never counts more than 4 GBs. I've tried adding in the sticks each one at a time in different slots; in different combinations, but nothing is working. I know the sticks work and I know the board is reading them because they show up in Memory-Z in the BIOS and in fact, in a 3rd party program called Speccy, it shows 6GB! But it still says they're running Dual channel mode.
Here is the current BIOS I am running as shown in the POST output and model of the memory as shown on the sticker AND the model of the motherboard itself:
BIOS: A7522IMS V8.10 030910
RAM MODEL NUMBER: F3-10666CL9T-6GBNQ | DDR3-1333 CL 9-9-9-24 1.5v | PC3-10666 2GBX3 | 10060840076833
MOBO MODEL NUMBER: MS-7522 | VER: 3.1
Those are exactly what are printed on the label/sticker letter-for-letter.
Quote from: HU16E on 04-April-10, 09:18:47
Buy the correct RAM, don't bend any CPU socket pins, install the sticks in the correct slots, don't buy into the RAM makers claims of 'rated' performance.
You're either implying that I've incompetently bent a socket pin when I installed the CPU, placed the RAM in DIMM slots they don't belong or need to trash the $200 RAM I've just purchased.
Ok, assuming that ISN'T the case, what exactly are you suggesting thats supposed to be of help? You say "Buy the correct RAM" but you don't tell me what the 'correct' RAM is.

Logic 8 and memory problems

Hello,
First of all I am using........
G5 Duel 2 gig
mac osx 10.4.11
4 gigs internal memory
192 digital interface
Logic Studio 8
Protools 7.4
I am experiencing a new problem since I upgraded to Logic Studio, With only 1 instance of Ivory and one instance of Omnisphere I am maxing out the memory and getting a error box that says i have exceeded the memory limits.
My question is there a way to set the computer up memory wise so this does not happen. I never had this problem with 7.
I can't open projects in 7 with mutiple tracks because of this problem.
Any advice?
Mark

Hi Mark,
One instance of Ivory and One instance of Omnisphere could easily exceed the 1.4 Gig or less there is probably left of your RAM (OS X needing 250 MB, Logic needing anything from 250 MB (very much depends on what else is loaded in a project). The only advice is: use a very light Ivory preset to work with, and when the MIDI is done, load the full Ivory you really want and bounce it to audio. Then load the Omnisphere and work with that in a similar fashion. The only other option is to max out your RAM to 4 GB and hope that is enough...
+Another possibility might be to tweak voice streaming, buffer and preload settings in both Ivory and Omnisphere - but I own neither, so I don't know if you can and how. Maybe someone else can shed light on that?+
To monitor how much memory is being used, install this freeware thingy: http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html#menumeters.
You can configure it to show all sorts of activity in the menu bar. Here you can see that I still have 543 MB of free RAM left.
regards, Erik.

Issues with ESSSVR performance and memory consumption

hi,
I'm facing some major challenges figuring out why the ESSSVR process on my UNIX box consumes a huge amount of memory, some times almost 99% of the RAM is taken away by it.
I am trying to look for log files that can explain this behavior, but i just can't find anything that can help me.
Our loads are incremental, and they run 6 times a day, we need to do some serious explaining on these spikes.
Can anyone help me out as to how I can find out the reasons for such high memory usage, because the records coming in are very normal, and these spikes lasted for about a half hour.
Please share any information about any log files which can give me a trace of the performance.
In case there are any commands in UNIX that can bring out performance logs of a particular process name on a particular day, or any performance tracking commands that I could use, please let me know.
Please not that this is a UNIX server nad not a LINUX one.
I would apreciate all the help I can get here.
Thanks in advance.
Anindyo

Here it is with some optimizations added (the biggest by far are not using local variables and build array in the for loop). I'm not sure if it works exactly the same but should give you some ideas. As a general rule avoid local variables, and use data flow to decide order of operations instead of sequence structures (this can't always be avoided though).

Performance and Usability Problems-Aperture 3.1.3 and 10.7.1

Late 2009 iMac
Quad Core i7
8 GB RAM
512 ATI GPU
Nik Software Complete Collection Plugins—all updated
I’m guessing this is due to memory leaks, but Aperture is crippled with 10.7.1. On my great iMac, Aperture now runs like it did when I ran Aperture 2 on a 2004 PowerBook G4.
With Snow Leopard, I had none of these issues.
With Aperture idle, it uses up to 2 GB real memory and 3 GB virtual memory. With it idle, it generates MBs of page outs and swap used. If I start to use it for adjustments, even minor ones, page outs and swap used increase dramatically. For example, last night after editing and adjusting a project of images, page outs were just under 5 GB. I’ve reverted to the old habit of rebooting to clear page outs and swaps. Last time I had to do this was with the 2004 PowerBook.
While actually using Aperture for edits and adjustments, response to almost any input is slow, with conspicuous delays. Even checking and unchecking an adjustment brick causes a considerable delay between the click and when the change is visible.
Again, with Snow Leopard, Aperture was a bullet with current configuration. I just ordered 8 more GBs of RAM in hopes that this will help until Apple fixes Aperture.
Anyone else having such considerable performance issues with Aperture 3.1.3 and 10.7.1?
Thanks

John-
Actually I do think it is about individual setups. The kinds of complaints expressed in this thread have been going on literally for decades.
Starting with early-days Photoshop then later Aperture I have observed the challenges of heavy graphics apps with hardware/RAM/OSs/app versions. We have always been able to reproduce poor performance, because apps/OSs generally do evolve to be more demanding.
IMO our goal is to help individual setups tweak to achieve non-poor performance while we wait for stronger hardware, or an OS improvement, or an app improvement, or money to buy more RAM, or whatever. IMO it really is an ongoing individual-setup (e.g. last year I was running a 2006 C2D MBP with a max of 3 GB RAM requiring constant tweaking) issue.
Today I run Aperture under 10.6.8 on a 2011 MBP with SSD and 8 GB RAM and it rocks. I would consider 10.6.8 to be one of the tweaks that folks might do if all the other tweaks (like add RAM and run 32-bit) fail to achieve non-poor performance.

Storage and memory problems on a new mac. PLEASE HELP

I had a macbook pro 5 years ago and backed everything up to my time machine. i just bought a new mac book pro yesterday. I only wanted to transfer my music and photo files over, and i somehow managed to do that but i think i made a mistake somewhere because now my storage memory is listed at over 400 gb used which i know is impossible. ive saved one document onmy new computer and the entire storage on the time machine is only 173 gb. I have over 300 gb listed as other on the new computer- at one point it was purple and categorized as backup but now it says other- can anyone help me?
my computer is running super slow now because of it and i just spent over 2000 dollars on this yesterday and I cant find anything in apple support to help me. i already tried looking through all the files and used the omni disk sweeper.
PLEASE HELP ME!
