Sherwin Williams paint visualizer flash performance is horrible

I'm checking few different colors in Sherwin Williams paint visualizer that uses flashplayerplugin_11_9_800_94.exe*32.
The picture I uploaded is only 600kb but the plugin increase beyond 3GB RAM just after few minutes of changing colors.
I tried both Firefox and IE and performance is horrible.
Browser does not respond when saving a color scene for more than 10 minutes and comes back finally.
No other tabs are browsable when this is going on.
Also, it takes so long to come back that it displays an error that the changes could not be saved and to try again later.
Then, moving mouse on the app is not smooth, it stutters, moves, disappears etc...
It's a core i7 desktop with 12GB RAM.
I let it sit there without touching it for 15 minutes and the memory stayed around 3GB with going up to 3.3GB at times without my interaction.
What the hell is taking that much resource?

Update:
I used the same app in google chrome and it doesn't take resource like in IE and Firefox.
RAM usage was only 19mb all the time and it did open another instance with around 5mb RAM so total around 25mb from two instances of Flasplayerplugin in Chrome.
I did get 'Unable to save scene. Try later' message but that's from Sherwin-Williams site.
My PC still normal after 1/2 hour of playing with the app.
So what's the issue with IE and Firefox?
The same app uses over 3GB of RAM in those browsers (IE and Firefox).

Flash Video performance is horrible in Internet Explorer 11 & 10 Win7 64bit

Video performance is horrible with Internet Explorer 11 & 10 on a Win7 64bit system.
Flash Player version 12.0.0.70
The video is choppy and stuttering and it's dropping frames no smooth playback is possible.
HTML5 Video playback is super smooth in IE 10 & 11.
ActiveX Shockwave Flash Add On is installed correctly and activated.
ActiveX filtering is off.
nvidia Video hardware (Quadro FX 2700M) drivers are current and up to date with the latest version 332.50
Tested with Flash hardware acceleration on and off = same problem
Tested with Internet Explorer hardware acceleration (software rendering) on and off = same problem
Any suggestions what the culprit may be?

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

What most affects Flash performance?

What components, hardware and software, affect Flash
performance the most?
I believe that video cards have no bearing, but have
recently come into a debate over the RAM vs processor.
Also, on Windows XP, any tricks to bring up performance
speed?
Thanks in advance,
michael

Do you mean in reference to authoring or the player?

Flash Performance

In all the test I've done, with Flash 9 and 10, it just seems that Flash videos just can't keep up as they can in Windows. Do you think it's a driver or flash problem? It's extremely discouraging, and making me think to give up Linux for Windows because of many example of poor drivers and support for Linux from big business

sam wrote:
Flash performance is dependent on the flash player and the video driver your computer uses. Flash player is generally slower in linux than in windows. This is probably due to adobe's priorities. Heck, for a long time linux only had flash 7 while windows had flash 9 and many sites used flash 8. It was a grim time in linux history... Having said that, the performance difference between windows and Linux versions should still allow for relatively smooth video animations, if it wasn't for the drivers.
I'm not sure if this is because flash now tries to use your video card to speed up rendering or it is because of bad video card drivers, but the drivers have an IMMENSE impact on video. I have an ati card, and ati has been undergoing a change of philosophy toward linux and this is impacting their drivers. This usually bring about good change, like AIGLX; however, it introduces many bugs that affect video performance. The current ati driver is 8.6, however I'm still using 8.4 because 8.5 and 8.6 make youtube videos UNWATCHABLE on my dual core. The 8.4 driver is slightly sluggish, but at least I can watch flash videos.
The performance of flash videos is indicative of the general performance of flash on the platform. If you dual boot and want to see this difference, you can try a simple video like youtube.com. Most likely this will work equally well in both OSs, where you will 'likely' find a difference is HD videos on dailymotion (unless you have a powerful video card).
The good news about all of this is that the future of flash looks very promising. Adobe finally treats linux with the same respect as windows, and is apparent by the simultaneous release of flash 10. Ati is breaking milestones with their video drivers, and the open source ati driver will eventually surpass the stability and performance of propriety drivers.
keep believing it then

Flash Performance testing

Hi All
I am Newly using Flash player into my web application, I want
to check Flash performance in the web application
Can you help me by listing some GUI tools that supports Flash
Performance testing?
Thanks In advance

I agree with having the developer test on the lowest config
PC we have, which they currently perform. But, we have a seperate
group that performs Performance testing on all web applications and
they are looking for a tool. They currently use a combination of

N82 Flash Performance

So how does the phone's flash perform its operation comparing to other hi end nokia camphones and other tops like k850i etc? Is it that outstanding or so so..?Message Edited by korngear on 30-Nov-200709:26 PM

Ahem..
Well. Say you sittin in a literally non lit, pitch black room that's 13-15 feet in length. Take a picture with this 82 and it's like someone switched on a neon light in the room. I never knew I'd smile at a picture like this. Sure pic quality CAN be better, but the flasher kills off some of the quality disappointment. I wore glasses in college and only wear'em when I watch TV, till today. Without wearin' 'em now and lookin at pix compared betwwen this handset and the k850i.. I'd say what I see. About 6-70% brighter pix from the 82. Pic quality.. I don't know.. Hmmm.. And shanapps.. The red I don't light blinds the freak outta anybody just as much or more. ok ok.. its flash.. It's just perfect for the mobile phone age we're in, but for right now. Honestly, I'm satisfied. Alot!
Peace..

FlexPod Flash Performance: Then and Now

FlexPod Continues to Leverage All-Flash Performance with Expanded Product Line, Deals

Poor Flash performance on G4 mac mini

Hi,
I've got a 1.25Ghz PPC G4 mini with 512mb running 10.4.11 that exhibits extremely poor Flash performance; jerky almost unwatchable video. I downgraded from Flash 10 to 9, and it only got slightly better, and most videos now require 10. I've heard the Flash drivers for Macs are awful; is this the problem?
Also, maybe possibly related, when I leave the computer on for awhile, the hard disk eventually, and magically, "fills up". After a restart, I have 1.55G of a 37.5G drive. When I leave it on for awhile, it'll get down to Zero KB, and become so slow that I have to restart it again, if it doesn't just crash outright? Is this a memory leak? Is the only way to cure it by wiping the HD and reinstalling the OS?

I think Boece has nailed it. Can you get more memory in your mini? I know it's a pain and the max quoted by Apple is only 1G, but I think a big part of your problem is just plain lack of memory. When the system does not have enough real memory to work with it will use virtual memory - use the hard drive as if it were memory. This really slows things down, especially when you have a hard drive that is way too full as yours is. You have very little ram to be running OS X and you've effectively blocked the system from the work around it wants to use to deal with this by having a hard drive so full. Add a resource hog like flash and the problem just gets worse. Every time I've added memory to a mac the page-outs have gone down and the system become more responsive. You have a lot of page outs. I've seen macs run all day and have zero - but that's with 4-6g ram. Still, the fewer the better. Here's a nice link to Apple's discussion of memory usage in OS X: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342?viewlocale=en_US
Also, flash will never run great on the graphics sub-system in that unit. I have a MDD G4 1.25 with a similar graphics unit and flash isn't great on that either. But for security reasons I would never run less than the latest version of flash - it is one of the main conduits of malware these days and although I've never heard of problems on the mac it's still not good to leave gaping security holes. Hope this helps.

Is there any way to boost flash performance in a MAC?

As I said... is it possible? Why is it too slow?
Any answer is welcome.
THANKS!

Are you referring to the IDE or the player?
if its the IDE, then you'll need to wait for Flash 9 which
will be
intel Native, if its playback then using the 9r28 player has
yielded
much better performance in our testing

Flash performance inside mx:HTML in a Flex AIR app

Hi. I'm new to AIR development and after doing some basic tutorials I thought I'd make a little stream player app.
The amount of tutorials on the web made me choose Flex / Flash Builder over HTML & JavaScript. When I built the player in Flex I saw performance was terrible when out of focus, I would say it drops to 3 fps if not less. Surprisingly when I downloaded someone else's similar app, his didn't have that problem. On closer inspection - he made it in HTML & JavaScript and HTML AIR apps dont suffer from the same problem.
Is there a fix for this Flex performance problem?
I've made a video demonstrating the difference between Flex & HTML for your convenience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU2mfELhSC4.

Sure.
1.
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit, build 7600.
Adobe AIR 2.0.3.13070.
Unfortunately I only have machines with the exact same OS install at my disposal right now but I'll ask some people to test it on their boxes.
2. http://pastebin.com/AsdmD3Yb
When I point the mx:HTML to a youtube url instead of ustream.html the fps drops around to around 5 to 10. That's a lot more fps than when using ustream. Might be a clue to whats happening.

Macbook Pro 15 i7 2011 - Overheating and Poor Flash Performance

Anyone out there having similar dissapointing performance from their 'premium' Macbook Pro 15 i7 2011?
Flash - stuttering on flash sites such as you tube, a little bit better with latest update but centrino windows laptop plays better video
Overheating - too hot to have on your lap, fan kicks in while surfing the web and watching movies, absolutely cr@ps itself when playing games using facebook
This is my first mac, and must say for top dollar machine isn't been an underwhelming experience and a bit worried about starting a fire when doing serious work.
Any advice for both issue would be great before I start requesting a refund for what seems to be a bit of lemon and frustrating experience

ok flash does that i mean when you load a flash based video the fan kicks off and the MBP overheats
you can try PRAM reset (hold down Command-Option-P-R during restart, and wait for the machine to restart again) and also SMC reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
and check if you have the latest update for your flash player

Vista / Flash performance problem

I have a well-patched / McAfee / Firewall Dell / Vista
Business laptop. 2Gb, plenty of horsepower. I have uninstalled
Flash, rebooted, reinstalled flash WIN 9,0,124,0, but I seem to
have a performance problem that other Vista workstations do not
have.
I have a flash application for quiz questions. Hovering the
mouse over the choices should highlight the choices instantly. On
my workstation, it takes about 2 seconds for the hover effect to
appear. On my other Windows XP and Vista desktops, it's an
immediate effect.
Any suggestions as to where the problem might be?

Luis,
Whenever I hear someone mention the words 'it takes 5 minutes', my mind always seems to think about DNS problems (since 300 seconds is a typical timeout for DNS related problems).
Would you mind having a look at the HTML sourcecode for your application and locating the part where the Flash chart is specified, it will look something like -
<param name="movie" value="/i/flashchart/2DColumn.swf?XMLFile=http://yourserver/pls/apex/apex_util.flash?p=1299:1:1265142206329375:FLOW_FLASH_CHART_R1760625855571144_en-us">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="FlashVars" value="waiting=Loading data. Please wait.&loading=Loading data...">Take a look at the URL that is used to retrieve the data for the Flash chart (the ?XMLFile parameter in my example).
Does the URL in your page use the same domain name as the URL you're using to access your application via the browser, or are they different?
I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely here, but it's one of those 'nagging thoughts' I often have ;)

Help: Slow Flash performance (Snow Leopard)

Dear Gurus,
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my MacBook Pro's performance playing FLASH videos is gone. Jerky, choppy videos are the norm now. Full screen mode is out of the question. YouTube is unwatchable...
I have tried every sugestion I have found on the net but the problem still persists. I did a clean install of the Snow Leopard and the problem is there.
How do I fix this???

Very late to this, but what is the capacity of your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? A too-full hard drive can cause deteriorating performance.
Also, have you maximized the RAM? How much RAM is installed?
Sometimes it can be your internet service provider at fault. What speed is your connection?
See, when somebody says, "I've tried every suggestion," unless you enumerate exactly what you have tried, it's hard for us to tell what you haven't tried (and what may actually help).
