Safari slowing down over time

Hello,
     My computer has been acting up lately. It seems that everytime I've been on safari browsing the internet, It gets slower and slower but speeds up again after a while. I ran the EtreCheck application (below) and said that com.apple.mrt.uiagent.plist failed. I've been on a lot of other discussions about safari being slow and this is one of the problems. I've already checked my HD drive and it is running fine and clean. I'd like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

XY dot plot slows down over time

In my VI I am using Express XY graph to plot a continous stream of XY coordinates over a contstant domain and range. I would like to keep the trail of these points.
Initially, plotting is very fast. But it eventually slows down to a crawl as point keep coming in. I have disabled autoscaling and smooth updates, but still the same problem.
Is there any solution to this, other than periodically reseting the graph?

Hello Amir,
I�m assuming that your data is being streamed into an array, and that you are then plotting that array on the XY graph. If this is the case, the XY graph has to rewrite itself every time, since XY graphs are a one-shot display. They are not set up for streaming. As your data keeps streaming in, the array gets bigger and bigger, causing the XY graph to take longer to refresh, slowing everything down.
One solution is to only plot the last x number of data points (x based on how fast you want it to refresh vs how much data you want to see). I�m including an example of a circular buffer than does just this. You�ll have to modify it for your data and for the XY graph, but the idea is the same.
If none of these suggestions help, please
post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, and any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

Code Slows Down Over Time

While using LabVIEW to code an optical sensor that is used to see when a coin passes through a passage, the code will initally run at a fast enough rate to read a coin falling through it. Yet as time goes on the while loop the sensor is within slows down to a point where it is not quick enough to see/detect a coin falling through. There are two while loops running in parallel, that may still be causing some issues in priority?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Along with what crossrulz said, your acquisition to find the coin is a little funky. You're pulling a single sample each time that loop runs, so you're limited to the loop rate of that loop for find the coin.
Instead, you should configure your DAQmx task to do hardware timing at a fast(er) rate and then pull all available samples with each iteration. Then you can see within all of the new samples if there is a coin when there wasn't previously (same logic you currently have, but on a data set). For example, you can have this loop timed to run at 20Hz, but your data is acquired at 1000Hz and chunks of the data can be analyzed at a time. This way is much more efficient than what you're doing.

Time Capsule Wi-Fi slows down over time

Hi,
My Time Capsule 2 TB (running firmware 7.4.2, which is the latest version for my model Time Capsule) has an annoying habit of running slower and slower over time, eventually requiring a restart...
It becomes worse and worse gradually. At some point, transfer rates get very slow, websites take ages to load, connections even start to drop... and that's when people connected to my network start asking: "What the %($) is going on?". I then restart the Time Capsule, and everything is back to normal (for a while).
This repeats about once every month. I'm not satisfied with one month of continuous uptime on a Wi-Fi base station... I'm used to such devices running for a year or two before they may eventually require a reboot.
Has anyone else had this problem? Should I try to exchange the Time Capsule for the new model (running firmware 7.5.1)? It seems like Apple isn't planning to release a firmware update for the older model, even though it's still under warranty and obviously has a few glitches...
Tim

I've got this exact same problem with the older Time Capsule. Mine drops to around 10% of the original speed over time. Mine requires a reboot too.
I was thinking of buying a new one, thanks for saving my money.

EA6200 slows down over time and needs reboot

Anyone with a EA6200 notice it slowing down after about a week of use? I just replaced my e2000 with a EA6200 and its runs very well for about a week. After about a week I notice it slows down. Pages start loading very slow on all of my devices on my 2.4ghz and 5ghz ssids. It slows down to a point where it takes forever just to get logged into the router to and get to the page where I can reboot it so I know its the router. Once I reboot it, it runs great for about another week. Its using newest firmware. I have 2.4ghz set to 20mhz and 5ghz set to 80mhz, channels set to auto. Nothing to customized beyond that.

Try:
Connectivity => Administration => Cut through Forwarding => Uncheck
If IPv6 isn't required by your ISP; Connectivity => Internet Settings => IPv6 => Edit => Uncheck Enable
Media Prioritization => Enable => Check
Media Prioritization => Settings and apply accurate Downstream and if available Upstream values; Initially keep all devices and Apps normal priority
If you have throughput issues on Wifi try Disabling WMM support (EA6200\6400); if no difference is notice re-enable WMM

Slow Performance Over time, Drawing Access Forms

we've been using a small access database for almost a year now, written from scratch using only Access 2013
over time drawing of one of the forms slows right down, once the form is draw its fine, but if you switch to a different form at the top then switch back it draws slow, maybe 7-8 seconds compared to the usual 1 second, sometimes it can work all day no problem,
sometimes after an hour it starts drawing the form slow, the only way to cure it is to restart the machine.
Logging off and logging back on doesn't cure it, only restarting it, it does get restarted every night automatically as an attempt to help the problem
this happens on 2 machines, both have intel HD graphics, (previously one was using a NVidia GT 250 which had appalling performance in design mode (even with hardware acceleration disabled) so we switched to the on-board, although this issue happens
with both machines)
Back end gets compacted/and repaired every night on a schedule as I did notice a big slow down if you let that go a couple of weeks, I've decompiled/recompiled the front end, short of re-writing the form I'm not sure what to do, it does have a lot of controls,
around 30 textboxes 1 combo box + 20 or so labels and 4 buttons, one embedded report, it only happens on this one form, I have embedded reports in other forms which don't have the same issue and have the same number of controls.
I'm a bit of a loss, its not a huge issue, but just an annoyance, when I get time I'm tempted to try recreating the form from scratch, but there is a lot of VBA code behind it, before trying that just wondering if there are any suggestions to improve performance?
*edit* the form is loaded from a list of customers, so it gets opened closed a lot, I thought simply hiding the form instead of loading/unloading all the time would speed it up, it does slightly improve the speed after viewing the second lot of details,
however it suffers the safe fate of slowing down over time, it seems to be only drawing the form and not accessing the db

I think you would benefit from a code review by a strong Access developer. What you are describing is not normal and may be caused by systematic programming choices.
-Tom. Microsoft Access MVP
Just wondering, once this does happen going into design mode on any form is slow to draw, but only the one form at runtime once it starts happening.
the only visible difference apart from waiting is seeing the 'property sheet' on the right hand side gets visibly drawn left to right on any form once this happens, switch back to form view you see it get wiped out slowly, fade from left to right as it blanks
the form out
I had this 'slow' behaviour constantly with the NVidia card in one of our machines, even on new blank databases.
I'm not even sure if this is linked to the form I've made or not, its just the only reason I notice it is that it's frustrating to use.
Is this code review idea something that people volunteer to check or is it a paid service?

Why does project save slow down over duration of project life?

I notice when I'm editing in a project in Premiere Pro CC, the auto save or even if I just save, the save slows down over time. You can slowly see the save bar going slower and slower over time. Even if I don't add any new media or import different files the save still goes a lot slower overtime. Sometimes the save bar will hang at a certain point for 20 secs or so and then continue. I understand if I add more media, files, pics, music etc... the save will take longer. But why does it do this if I'm just editing with some effects? Is it something to do with the cache folder getting too large or that I have too many auto saves? Should I clean out these folders? Also if it hangs at one spot for 10 secs or so is it because there is a corrupt file somewhere?
I just find this very frustrating if you are saving every 5 mins and you have to wait for 30 secs for a save.
My specs: Mac Pro 2009
Processor 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB
Startup disk SSD

I can answer some parts:
The auto save works as a five project silo. Once the list gets to 5 saves, it starts to write over. Also the auto-save only saves the project--no assets, no renders, thus the file is relatively small.
applying aneffect (filters transitions, etc) causes the program to create a new file as Premiere does not modfy the original asset. The more effects that are used, the more files that are created. When you finally export, the AME creates a single file, once again, not affecting the original assets.

My DSL has slowed down over the last few months

Guys;
My DSL has slowed down over the last few months. I had the service that is up to 1.5 M and I used to get 1.2 ish on the verizon speed test, lately I've been getting between .9 and 1.0 at the most. I got the info from the speed test and here is a portion of that info:

SHould I be concerned by the portion that I bolded and underlined?
Also, I just last night upgraded my service to the 1.1 to 3.0 service but I've not gotten a speed increase. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The great safari slow down.

For three days now safari has been very very slow to load webpages. When I type in the URL safari connects to the site and then can take 2-4 mins to load. Say I try www.bbc.co.uk it will take two mins for the home page to load.
If I switch to Firefox all websites load quickly so I know its not an issue with my dsl connection.
Pings and traceroutes to sites come back fine and responses are good.
Its just when I use safari.
I have emptied cache and history.
Restarted (many times in the last three days)
Reset my dsl router.
Checked cables
Turned off the built in 10.4.2 firewall.
Any Ideas ?

This is a wide-spread issue. Just check out all of the posts in this forum that relate to Safari slowing down, crashing, etc., etc.
I've been having the same problem for about 1 week or more. Tried all the things that you tried, including trashing Safari and reinstalling. I suspect that it has to do with a liveupdate of Safari software that occurred shortly before the problems began. I also tried trashing Safari again and reinstalling the older version. Didn't work.
The info I've read seems to indicate that the problem affects more than the Safari application itself; the installation may add components to the OS also. This would appear to mean that the problem can't be erased by just trashing the application.
This problem is affecting both Tiger and Panther. So far Apple has been silent, as far as I can tell. Meanwhile I've had to say goodbye to Safari. Unfortunate. There just aren't great substitutes for it.
Has anyone with a service support warranty (3 months) still in effect tried to call Apple support about this?

Cursor slows down over clickable objects

hello,
how do i turn off the feature which causes the cursor to slow down over clickable objects? in system preferences i click on the mouse icon. in that window i set the "tracking speed" to fast. this works except for when the cursor rolls over a clickable object. for example the red yellow and green circles in the top left of a window will reduce the "tracking speed" when the cursor moves over top of them. how do i turn this feature off?
thanks
any help is greatly appreciated!
if you need more info just ask

-bump-
is it not possible to turn this feature off?

RFGuns slowing down several times a day

Hello,
RFGuns in our warehouse really slow down several times a day and start taking time. I am wondering if this is a network problem. Any ideas where to look? Thanks

Try to determin when the issue started and whether or not any changes went in when the problem started, updated security measures? new access points, switches and such? any thing related to RF connectivity has changed?
After checking with network team, they should monitor, look for network issues, check sygnal strength
1. check with network security team, ask if they run scans durring the times you see slowness
2. check for batch jobs that might suck system resources (financial batch jobs can slow entire sytems)
3. check for firmware updates for the devices, some devices have known issues w/newer secure networks
4. do server analysis to make sure enough resources are devoted to the boxes that handle the transactions
good luck

Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

This is a strange problem but here goes...
Some useful background info:
I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
Additional details:
Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
The router is still the WRT54G on ATT's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G; an older version of this device that I replaced recently with a new one [although this copy worked with the new one as well prior to the issue I'm posting about coming up].
The firmware version of the WTR54G router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (this issue was occurring over the WRT54G's wireless network before the firmware upgrade to the Airport Express).
If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilettantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in the art of network configuration.
I've been using a LinkSys router for a long time with a Mac/PC internal network that connects to the internet and computers inside the internal network for many years now and have had few issues.
Thanks in advance,
Darin

I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

Does anyone know where I should begin to try to resolve this issue? I've tried LinkSys tech suppport and I still get "we're not able to provide Mac tech support" reply despite the fact that addressing the router is done via a webpage and the BSD guts under the hood. If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilletantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in this stuff.
Thanks in advance,

I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

Safari slowing down my system?

I swore by Safari when I first started using it back in 2008, but the latest version with 'webkit2webprocess.exe" is causing some huge slow downs. I just can't figure out what's wrong, and why safari is sudenly a lumbering beast instead of the sleek predator that it used to be.
My system constantly caches, the bhard drive is constantly w eatorking with this thing installed. It eats up RAM, and more ram, and never dumps anything, untiol there's no more page filing space. Even now, after I wrote that last sentence my HD went active again. Sure enough, "webkit2" is eating up naerly a half gig of ram. And now when I type, I can't see what I'm typing. and now it's eating up my video ram because I've run out of file page space.
who the upgraded this thing, the marx brothers?
thjis used to be the best brower on the market, but hnow it's JUST a piece of ram eating junk.

I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.
