Poor performance and speed since 21CN Update.
My Wholesale exchange was upgraded to BT21CN at the end of January. (MELLOR, LANCASHIRE)
Before the upgrade :
> We got about 6-7Mbps constantly. (BT Unlimited Broadband). This was day and night via Speedtest.net and BT Speedtest
> iPlayer and other services reliably streamed in HD at any time of day.
> We didnt have any speed drops at night and could stream video content etc perfectly for years.
Now everything has changed.......
After the Update 31/01/14 :
> Video from outside the UK is slow and constantly buffers. US Netflix for example no longer streams reliably.
> Video and streming services from within the UK arent that great either. iPlayer and other services struggle to stream in HD - if ever.
> BT Speedtest says we get around 17-18Mbps. Speedtest.net Constantly says less than 5Mbps. BBC iPlayer speed tests only register 1.8Mbps. - we cant stream any HD Olympic services.
> After 4pm speeds drop across the range of activities, video services like youtube, iplayer, netflix etc etc dont work unless the streaming quality is very low.
> At night other Speedtest services report <3-4Mbps. BT still says above 17Mbps, buit we cant even use video and the internet feels slow.
>IP Profile is 19.34Mbps.
We pay for full unlimited BT Broadband however since the change to 21CN and a 20Mbps connection our service is now worse ! It almost feels as if we are being penalised or throttled for video and anything from outside the UK
BT Speedtest is the only one that ever says we get high speeds- but we dont, we cant even reliably stream video.
Cany anyone help??

I have the iPhone4 and ever since I updated the phone, I can no longer connect it to my iHome (iD8)
Yes, they told me I should contact apple, but apple hasn't helped me either! The iHome has worked perfectly all along and it still is working it has power just will not connect anymore to play my music.

Story
I've been using arch for the past four months, dual booting with my old Windows XP. As I'm very fond of Flash games and make my own programs with a cross-platform language, I've found few problems with the migration. One of them was the Adobe Flash Player performance, which was stunningly bad. But everyone was saying that was normal, so I left it as is.
However, one special error always worried me: a seemingly randomly started siren sound coming from the motherboard speaker. Thinking it was a alarm about some fatal kernel error, I had been solving it mostly with reboots.
But then it happened. While playing a graphics intensive game on Windows quickly after rebooting from Arch, the same siren sound started. It felt like a slap across the face: it was not a kernel error, it was an motherboard overheat alarm.
The Problem
Since the computer was giving overheat signs, I started looking at things from another angle. I noticed that some tasks take unusually long times in Arch (i.e.: building things from source; Firefox / OpenOffice startup; any graphics intensive program), specially from the Flash Player.
A great example is the game Penguinz, that runs flawlessly in Windows but is unbearably slow in Arch. So slow that it alone caused said overheat twice. And trying to record another flash game's record using XVidCap things went so bad that the game halved the FPS and started ignoring key presses.
Tech Info
Dual Core 3.2 processor
1 gb RAM
256 mb Geforce FX 5500 video card
Running Openbox
Using proprietary NVIDIA driver
TL;DR: poor performance on some tasks. Flash Player is so slow that overheats CPU and makes me cry. It's fine on Windows.
Off the top of my head I can think up some reasons: bad video driver, unwanted background application messing up, known Flash Player performance problems and Actionscript Linux/Arch-only bug.
Where do you think is the problem?jwcxz wrote:Have you looked at your process table for any program with abnormal CPU usage? That seems like the logical place to start. You shouldn't be getting poor performance in anything with that system. I have a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and an Intel GMA 965 and I've never had any problems with Flash. It's much better than it used to be.
Pidgin scared me for a while because it froze for no apparent reason. After fixing this, the table contains this two guys here:
%CPU
Firefox: 80%~100%
X: 0~20%
Graphic intensive test, so I think the X usage is normal. It might be some oddity at the Firefox+Linux+Flash sum, maybe a conflict. I'll try another browser.
EDIT:
Did a Javascript benchmark to test both systems and browsers.
Windows XP + Firefox = 4361.4ms
Arch + Firefox = 5146.0ms
So, it's actually a lot slower without even taking Flash into account. If someone knows a platform-independent benchmark to test both systems completely, and not only the browser, feel free to point out.
I think that something is already wrong here and the lack of power saving systems only aggravated the problem, causing overheat.
EDIT2:
Browser performance fixed: migrated to Midori. Flash stills slower than on Windows, but now it's bearable. Pretty neat browser too, goes better with the Arch Way. It shouldn't fix the temperature, however.
Applied B's idea, but didn't test yet. I'm not into the mood of playing flash games for two straight hours today.

********************************************************************************The statement was executed 2 times. I know from slicing up the trc file that :
exe #1 : elapsed = 0.02s, query = 25, current = 47, rows = 11
exe #2 : elapsed = 6.34s, query = 24272, current = 151, rows = 25
If I run just the select portion of the statement, using bind values from exe #2, I get small number of gets (< 10), and < 0.1 secs elapsed.
If I make the insert into an empty, non-partitioned table, I get :
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows

total 2 0.01 0.08 0 137 53 25and same explain plan - using index range scan on WF_Item_Attributes_PK.
This problem is part of testing of a database upgrade and country go-live. On a 10.2.0.3 test system (non-RAC), the same insert/select - using the real WF_Item_Attributes_Value table takes :
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.00 0.10 10 27 136 25
Fetch 0 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
total 2 0.00 0.10 10 27 136 25So I'm struggling to understand why the performance on the 10.2.0.4 RAC system is so much worse for this query, and why it's doing so many gets. Suggestions, thoughts, ideas welcomed.
I've verified system level things - CPUs weren't/aren't max'd out, no significant paging/swapping activity, run queue not long. AWR report for the time period shows nothing unusual.
further info on the objects concerned:
query source table :
WF_Item_Attributes_PK : unique index on Item_Type, Name. Index has 144 blocks, non-partitioned
WF_Item_Attributes tbl : non-partitioned, 160 blocks
insert destination table:
WF_Item_Attribute_Values:
range partitioned on Item_Type, and hash sub-partitioned on Item_Key
both executions of the insert hit the partition with the most data : 127,691 blocks total ; 8 sub-partitions with 15,896 to 16,055 blocks per sub-partition.
WF_Item_Attribute_Values_PK : unique index on columns Item_Type, Item_Key, Name. Range/hash partitioned as per table.
Bind values:
exe #1 : Item_Type (:B1) = OEOH, Item_Key (:B2) = 1048671
exe #2 : Item_Type (:B1) = OEOL, Item_Key (:B2) = 4253168
number of rows in WF_Item_Attribute_Values for Item_Type = OEOH : 1132587
number of rows in WF_Item_Attribute_Values for Item_Type = OEOL : 18763670
The non-RAC 10.2.0.3 test system (clone of Production from last night) has higher row counts for these 2.
thanks and regards
Ivanhi Sven,
Thanks for your input.
1) I guess so, but I haven't lifted the lid to delve inside the form as to which one. I don't think it's the cause though, as I got poor performance running the insert statement with my own value (same statement, using my own bind value).
2) In every execution plan I've seen, checked, re-checked, it uses a range scan on the primary key. It is the most efficient I think, but the source table is small in any case - table 160 blocks, PK index 144 blocks. So I think it's the partitioned destination table that's the problem - but we only see this issue on the 10.2.0.4 pre-production (RAC) system. The 10.2.0.3 (RAC) Production system doesn't have it. This is why it's so puzzling to me - the source table read is fast, and does few gets.
3) table storage details below - the Item_Types being used were 'OEOH' (fast execution) and 'OEOL' (slow execution). Both hit partition WF_ITEM49, hence I've only expanded the subpartition info for that one (there are over 600 sub-partitions).

Poor performance and voltage fluctuation.
I'm running two 280x in crossfire which I upgraded from two 6970's. When I'm playing DayZ my FPS never go above 30 FPS. With my 6970's I was well into the 70's. I never changed my video settings when I went from the 6970's to the 280X's. For the most part I have a lot of the graphics low or disabled. Borderlands 2 is a nightmare on the 280X. I drop down into 10 fps area and this has never happened with on my 6970's.
During games my core voltage fluctuates between 500mhz and 1020mhz during game play. I have ULPS disable as well.
My power supply is an Antec HCG-900.
Happened on all these drivers 14.4, 14.6 Beta, and 14.6 RC (currently installed).jwcxz wrote:Have you looked at your process table for any program with abnormal CPU usage?

Poor performance and now dropping connection
I am very underwhelmed by performance since switching to infinity FTTC last year. Download speed is very variable and I just cannot get an upload speed much better than 1.1 Mb/s.
Now we have a regularly dropping connection. Last Saturday morning we had a thunderstorn with heavy downpour and phone line dropped completely - no dialtone and unsurprisingly no broadband. Did a line check from my mobile - all fine and no reported problems in the area. I phoned BT and got an Indian who just repeated what the website told me and said couldn't get an engineer for 4 days! Phone came back late the same afternoon and a little while later broadband came up but connection was up and down like a yo-yo. After 4 days of sunshine when the engineer turned up broadband had been up solid from 3 am and phone was fine. Engineer did more detailed tests which showed no problem and reckoned our problem must have been fixed, and that reason broadband had been dropping was because of computerised checks due to reported fault which would cause line to drop.
For a few days all was fine, although performance still underwheliming, until we had another downpour yesterday morning. Phone line stayed up, although a little crackly, but once again broadband started dropping regularly. Since then it has gradually improved (no more rain).
My suspicion is (and always has been) that with the heavy rain water is getting into a connection somewhere. How do I go about communicating it to BT support (I can't even find a web page or number for reporting broadband problems) this fact and actually getting someone to look into it properly? I rejected the "fault reported fixed" on the tracking your fault web page but so far nothing.
I am distinctly unimpressed with BT support and unless this gets fixed soon I am seriously thinking of switching to fibre to the home with Virgin (despite hating Branson) especially as the move from Yahoo mail to BT mail has not been smooth and the BT webmail is full of bugs (which again I cannot find any way of reporting).Thanks. I tried that. Broadband up and down regularly until the day the engineer came. Day before had intermittent heavy crackling on the line and calls dropping. Day he came all is fine and of course his diagnostics checks come back all clear. Apparently, or so he told me, they are not allowed to work on our line unless the checks show a fault...which they didn't.
I've just had 24 hours of our broadband working but just now it's started dropping regularly again.
I am getting very frustrated/annoyed. What do I do now? How do they expect to solve the problem if it isn't constant and they can't get an engineer to look at it within 3 or 4 days? Do I just keep on calling our an engineer until by chance it happens to hit a problem while they're on site? Not good for customer satisfaction and surely it must cost them to keep sending out an engineer! -
Rotating images: Poor performance and incorrect direction of the dropshadow
I've created an extremely simple application that is rotating a bitmap image. I have two issues:
1) The performance is quite frankly terrible with stuttering and screen tearing. Is there any way to improve the performance or is this a known limitation of JFX's rendering?
2) The Image has a dropshadow, but as the image rotates so does the shadow which is not the behavior I want since that makes it look like the lightsource is also moving. How can I get around this? I want the shadow to stay on the bottom right. Am I putting the dropshadow in the wrong location in the scenegraph?

Poor performance and out of date
I'm sorry to have to say this, having been a big fan of Robohelp in the past, but Robohelp 8 is like something out of the dark ages. I last used it 2003 and it doesn't seem to have been updated since then.
These are the problems I've encountered so far:
1. Compared with general authoring and editing in Dreamweaver it is slow and cumbersome.
2. The CSS is very difficult to edit and still uses point sizes for fonts (no 'em' option appears on menus). The potential of CSS doesn't seem to be understood by the Robohelp people
3. The glossary hotspot doesn't find all glossary entries even though the text on the page is EXACTLY the same as the glossary entry. This means that the feature unuseable as I can't see any way of adding them by hand.
4. There is no help as far as I can see on using CSS styles for Mini TOC
5. The help generally is the type that states the obvious and describes what's on the screen but doesn't give indepth information.
I'm in a bit of fix here as I recommended this product and it's really not up to job.Dreamweaver creates HTML that is at once source and output. A HAT such as RoboHelp processes source code to generate and publish targeted output for multiple layouts, online and print. It might use points instead of ems, but that's a decision based on these business variables.
If you double click the minitoc placeholder, you're presented with this dialog for styling it.
I've always used a separate Glossary topic, accessible from a toolbar button and from the TOC, instead of the default built-in utility, but that's just me.
If you have any other questions on specific issues that you can't resolve, feel free to post here again.
Good luck,

I have a four year old Powerbook G4, running on 10.4.11. I downloaded (using Firefox as my browser) Java for OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-02 (Power PC). Since that time, I can no longer open iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Yahoo and MSN Messenger. Software update will not open from the Apple menu, but I can open and run it from the System Preferences panel.
I tried to re-download Safari and iTunes, but the installer won't open the files - just says that the installer closed unexpectedly and to send the info to Apple.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HD (my HD is not the original HD, but a new one installed two months ago), and the device, without any success.
Any ideas in where to go from here?Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing. -
Shortcuts do not work anymore in Safari and Maps since I updated to Yosemite
Since I upgraded to Yosemite, both Safari 8.0 and Maps 2.0 do not respond to any shortcuts, like "cmd q" to quit or "cmd c" to copy. I have to do everything manually which is quite frustrating, as it slows my workflow down. I can only use the shortcuts if I click on the bar at the top of the window (Safari File Edit View etc.).
I bought my Mac 6 months ago and so don't think i'ts because of the hardware .__. I only have the problem with Safari and Maps.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks already

I've noticed quite a few events have disappeared since the last update. Also my calendars appear to have either been deleted or merged. I've lost some very important events. Has anyone else had these problems?
