Slow performance after app start up on AIR 2.6 on Android

I'm developing an application built using AS 3.0 compiled with the latest Flex 4.5 SDK.  We have a CS5 fla expored as a SWC which is then imported by an AIR project. 
We use a mx:Application mxml as the entry point to the application and immediately show a "Loading message" as the application finishes loading.  How it's designed is it builds all the UI elements that are needed by the entire application, instantiates them, and then makes most invisible (or on lower layers in the viewstack).  We realized we needed to call .stop() after we set the visible property as false.  However the number of actual clips in the entire application is less than 300 instances in totality.
When we run the application on a desktop either as AIR or a flash swf on a webpage, the performance is fantastic.  Every button reacts correctly, all the drop shadows appear perfect, and it functions with no issues. When I profile the application the memory footprint isn't that huge (~14mb) and it drops and climbs by a few mb, but never grows very large and always settles back down again. 
Unfortunately when we deploy it to an HTC EVO, the exact same application starts to load and usually finishes quickly, but soon after it gets amazingly sluggish to touch response.  Sometimes taking more than 15 seconds to register a button click event.  After a minute or so, it suddenly goes back to normal and then functions perfectly well for the rest of the time it's running.
We've tried checking for any memory leaks or objects that don't get garbage collected, but there isn't really any culprit.  We only use about 4 timers in the application and then they only run once every 5 to 10 seconds anyway.  We've switched many of the filters and vector graphics to PNGs and turned it into gpu renderMode, however the application still functions the same.  We've changed sprites that we don't change their rotation, color or alpha to cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitMapMatrix.  Still no change. 
Does anyone have any suggestions of where else to go next?  We unfortunately can't release the source code of our application but may be able to provide compiled versions if anyone needs it.

So after a lot of additional investigation the only thing we can figure out that helps is frame rates.
According to:
http://www.unitedmindset.com/jonbcampos/2010/09/08/optimization-techniques-for-air-for-and roid-apps/
Setting the frame rate on the stage to something like "4" should improve your application's performance if you're not using any animations that you really want to be smooth.
Unfortunately we found with a frame rate of 4, the application has serious performance issues after it starts up (usually within 30 seconds).  We are not using any components other than a few standard flex and flash components (imported from a swc) and no long movie clips or motion animation of any kind.
When we raise the frame rate to 8 suddenly the entire applications becomes much more responsive and the entire slow down issue disappears.
Thought I'd at least tell someone.

  • Slow performance after iOS 7.1 upgrade, please help.

    My kids have iPad Airs.  One of them has a serious slow down in performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1.  The others work fine.  It is so slow that it is unusable.  When you type a single character, it takes several seconds to show up on the screen.  I'm rebooted and did a reset in Settings.  Any other ideas?  Please help.

    I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".
    It came to a screen with a USB cable and arrow to iTunes logo.  I had to connect to my PC and lanuch iTunes.  iTunes recognized the iPad in restore mode.  My only option per Apple Support was to restore to factory defaults.  It appears all data is lost.
    The Apple Support person would not admit that this is a known issue with iOS 7.1 even though you can go online and see that may people have slow performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1.

  • Imac slow performance after upgrade to 10.10.2

    Following the installation of 10.10.2, my imac (circa 2010) is super slow to launch apps and in general just is under performing. A security update seems to be installed every time I reboot.. has anyone seen similar behavior? Tips ?
    Thanks !

    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.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    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 it 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. See, for example, this discussion.
    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. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. 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:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    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 and start typing the name.
    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. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, 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, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, 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 for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Slow performance after installation of new OS-X

    I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing the same problem as me, but it seemed to occur after I installed the new OS-X.
    My MacBook Pro has gone stremely slow and it seems to be related to MAIL. I thought that the standard MAIL program that comes with MAC was the problem, so I installed Postbox and that seemed to work for a while (1 day or 2) and then it was the same. It's not just email programs that are slow, but all programs.
    Click and wait seconds (10, 20, 30 sec) just for a program to open. Moving between files is so slow. I feel like I'm using Windows again.
    I'm no expert, but when I look at MEMORY usage, out of 4GB I'm using 3.8GB. My Virtual Memory is 4.76GB. See screen shot below.
    I would apprecaite if anyone can help me resolve what the problem is.
    Thanks

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Clicking noise to the right of mouse pad, and very slow performance after updating software to Yosemite. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

    So I recently updated to the latest Yosemite software (last night to be exact), and this morning i started to get a weird clicking and sort of grinding noise to the right of the mouse pad and extremely slow performance. I have no idea what is going on. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
    Thank you

  • Why is my mac mini slower performance after upgrade to OS X Mavericks.

    Since I updated my standard mac mini mid 2011 ( CPU I5 2.5 GHz , 4 GB 1333 DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6630 256 MB DDR5 , 500 GB harddrive 5400 ) to OS X Mavericks it starts up slower , operates slower when working on it and shuts down slower then when OS X Lion was installed.
    In short for me it does not perform as it has been advertised , being the better, easier and faster new OS X.
    Is this something that will be resolved or is this it ?

    Here's the result of etrecheck maybe somebody can tell me if there is a problem :

  • Mac OS slow performance after bootcamp installation

    So, I've been searching around here and on other forums, but I haven't found a solution yet to this problem and wanted to see if others knew of it. The problem is that the performance on Mac OS seems to have degraded when I have bootcamp (with WIndows 7, 64bit) installed. I've gone through uninstalling and reinstalling bootcamp a couple of times now and the result always seems to be the same, Mac OS is much slower... although I should note that the Windows side of things seem unaffected, and I'd say that (gasp) WIndows is running more smoothly that the Mac OS on m machine. Pretty **** annoying.
    Some symptoms:
    - Slow boot time AFTER I log in. The loading of the desktop and apps seems to take forever, when prior to bootcamp they'd all pop-up in maybe 10 seconds max. Note: this is not the general boot-time from OFF to the login screen... that's fine.
    - Loading applications (safari, terminal, etc) all seem to take forever to load. For instance, safari may take 30-60 seconds to load and show my home page. Before bootcamp, this would take a few seconds.
    - Once in Safari, the load time from page to page seems slow and jerky. Say I load engadget.com, or something equally image/content heavy, it seems like the whole page has to load before I can even start to scroll. Even then, scroll seems 'jerky' and not so smooth. Again, before bootcamp, this wasn't a problem.
    I've gone through a bunch of stuff to try and fix this, but nothing so far has helped. Here's what I've done so far:
    - repaired permissions
    - used disk utility to verify/repair any problems (it didn't find any problems, btw)
    - reset PRAM
    - rebuilt spotlight index
    - disabled spotlight indexing of the BOOTCAMP by placing a file called '.metadataneverindex' in the root directory on that partition. This interestingly helped speed up the the post-login boot-time, but application loading and browser performance is still pretty bad.
    Anyone else have these issues and figured out what's going on? An IT guy at my job told me to stay away from bootcamp 'because 'it'll slow down your machine', so I don't think this is an isolated occurrence.
    From what I've read all over the place, I shouldn't be taking a performance hit on the Mac OS side of things for installing bootcamp. Any thoughts tips you could provide would be helpful.
    *I might use Parallels or some other VM down the line, but I don't want to run Windows 7 solely in a VM. Yes, I HAVE tried installing Parallels with Windows 7 and it didn't slow anything down, but due to the nature of my work, I want to be able to boot to Windows directly without having any overhead. (this is small percentage of what I'd be doing with the Mac, but enough that I wanna get this bootcamp install working)

    Sorry, Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz... pretty much a stock 13" new MBP. I'm running bootcamp 3.0.2.
    I should also note that I was having this issue last week and decided to reinstall everything and start from scratch just to see if that helped. It's a new-ish Mac, so clearing everything out wasn't that big of a deal... other than taking the time to do it. I didn't use a time machine backup as I wanted to reset everything.
    So, I think I've figured this out after fiddling with the user accounts per your suggestion. I had set up my Mac so that my general-use account was 'standard' with a separate admin account for installing stuff.(more secure) This was different from what I had setup last week where I had one account that was setup as the admin. (less secure)
    I added a new user, 'test' as a standard account. I restarted into 'test' and still had an issue. I quick-switched over to my admin account for something and immediately noticed that everything speed up. Hmmm...
    I changed my regular account back to admin and that restored the performance on my mac to its pre-bootcamp state. (happy!) I'll need to play around with this more, but it seems that the two things I did to fix this were:
    1) Add the file to the bootcamp partition to exclude it from spotlight
    2) Login as an admin account
    I haven't had a chance to see if setting my account back to a standard account will in fact cause the performance to drop. I also then need to test with removing that file from BOOTCAMP to exclude it from spotlight. Right now, I think I have more correlation than causation, but at least it IS working well again.
    I'll update later today. Hopefully I'm not going to have to leave my main account as the admin.
    *ALSO, I tested out configuring Mac OSX to immediately unmount the bootcamp partition at login, and that did help with performance, but kind of made using Parallels a PITA as I had to then go and manually mount that partition when I wanted to get into Windows through parallels. It worked, but it was a janky work-around. I have since dropped that configuration and now just let BOOTCAMP mount.

  • Yoga Tab 2 8 inch slow performance after update

    Hello everyone!
    I recently bought a Yoga tablet 2 8 inch (Wifi only). By default, it was running smoothly, and the performance was overall solid, both on the launcher (Lenovo's and Google Now Launcher) and in apps.
    However, after two updates (The first one was around 350MB and the second one 79MB), some aspects of the software got much slower.
    For instance, when running on the stock Lenovo launcher, the transitions between the pages of apps are much slower. Even weirder, they are slower in landscape mode than in portrait mode! When running in portrait mode, the stock launcher is about as fast as it was before the updates.
    The Google Now launcher, which was running fine before, is now running really slow both in portrait and landscape modes.
    When it comes to apps, Gmail runs pretty smoothly while Chrome also seems to be capped at 30 fps. Opera, which I downloaded from the Play Store, seems smooth enough. YouTube is smooth when playing a video but choppy when navigating.
    The settings of the tablet (display, networks...) is silky smooth as it should, while Kingston Office (provided by Lenovo) is struggling and laggy.
    To sum up, some of the on board apps and the launchers seem to have taken a massive performance hit (while oddly enough some aspects of the software are smooth, like the settings), while third party apps downloaded from the store are, for the most part, unaffected, except for launchers (Granny Smith runs at 60 fps) (The performance on Nova Launcher is as poor as on Google Now Launcher)
    I don't see any app running in the background (I even disabled some of them, like Security HD), and Power mangement tools are off.
    The version of Android I am running on is 4.4.2, build : YOGA Tablet2-830F_S000195_150422. I also did a software reset through the settings, but the performance issue remains.
    Sorry about this long description, but it looks like a software issue and any help is welcome, because other than that I really like this tablet. If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you! 
    Vincent

    Hello Ronnie_S!
    Yes I am running on the update that was released yesterday, however I noticed a performance drop on the first update I got (the 350MB one), so my performances were already hit before that latest update. So I can't tell you what effect the update released yesterday could have on your specific device.

  • Slow Performance after Leopard 10.5.2. Update

    After updating to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, I have encountered performance issues that I suspect are related to my Creative Suite applications.
    I find that after a reboot, my system performs pretty well, but over time (a day or two) it starts to slow down dramatically. Using Activity Monitor to look for clues, I noticed what seems an inordinate number of "MSGS SENT" by several applications, e.g.:
    Photoshop CS3 is running in the background with a document open, and it's sending about 100 Msgs per second.
    Illustrator CS3 is running in te background with no document open, and it's sending about 500 Msgs per second
    Unfortunately, I did not observe these numbers prior to updating to 10.5.2. But I have observed, that quitting these applications seems to restore system performance to an acceptable level.

    I think it may have something to do with Photoshop's event
    handling. That is, it is polling for input even though you
    have no file open. I'll maybe take a look at this later if
    I have time.

  • Slower performance after Mavericks upgrade

    My Macbook Pro has been significantly slowed down by my upgrade to Mavericks. (Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7) (Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) (Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB) I can't watch a 2 minute video without long... long rendering pauses.  I get error messages and find the computer quits and starts again at random moments.  Loading apps is slower.  I am not talented technically and need some layman version of how to use time machine or other backup info to go back to my Mountain Lion IOS or how to fix this deterioration of my computer performance.  I have run the etresoft app to provide more info.  Unfortunately I am very much a novice at problem solving computer issues so if this is above my paygrade please feel free to send me to more competent sources..

    Do you know the reason for using WiFi Utility? It is not part of OS X and may be contributing to the problem.
    Assuming you have no reason to use it:
    Navigate to the following folder by selecting the entire line (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Open:
    /System/Library/StartupItems/
    Find the file WiFiUtilityStartUp and drag it to the Desktop. You will need to authenticate.
    Next: Open System Preferences by selecting it from the  (Apple) menu, then select Users & Groups. Click the lock icon and authenticate, then click your User account. Select the Login Items tab, then select the item WirelessUtility. Delete it with the "–" (minus) button.
    Next: Backup Engine is not part of OS X either, and is unrelated to Time Machine, which you are using. It may have been installed as part of a utility supplied by Seagate or other hard disk manufacturer. Such utilities should not be used on Macs. If you have no reason to use Backup Engine, delete it as well using the "–" button.
    Quit System Preferences, log out, and log in again. Reply with your results.

  • Any remedy for slow performance of Pages '09 on MacBook Air?

    I love Pages '09 (except for the lack of a system for automatic numbering of figures and tables), but I have been struggling with it on my MacBook Air, which I have used as my travel computer for more than a year. On this trip (a month) Pages has started to perform very sluggishly. It's almost impossible to work with masks for inserted pdf graphs, typing is exceedingly slow, and so is saving the file. It's a first-generation MacBook Air with an 80GB hard drive, with a little more than 10 GB available.
    I'll be home soon and have my MacBook Pro, but it's really affecting my performance in the field, so if there is a quick fix, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
    Thanks, Rick

    Open activity monitor (in applications/utilities). Check system memory and note if you have page outs. If so, you don't have enough memory for what you are trying to do. If you can't raise your system's memory, then you should consider breaking your huge 100 page file into separate files. I suspect that is the issue here, the file is so big it can't be held in memory (fast) so it is swapped back and forth between memory and the hard disk (very slow). Thus the stutter.

  • Video size issues/slow performance after update to CC 2014

    Hello everyone,
    I'm not an editor by trade, so please bear with me here. I've spent the last few days searching around for an answer and haven't been able to come up with much.
    I'm on a late 2011 Macbook Pro, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b).
    I spent a month cutting my first little experimental feature which the assistant editor set up for me (and who is currently away).
    My computer isn't rocket fast, but I was able to complete the first few passes on Premiere CC (7.2.2?) with few major issues.
    About a week ago, I upgraded to Premiere CC 2014 8.0.
    I immediately noticed that my footage went from this:
    To this:
    (The specifics of the footage:
    As you might be able to tell, we shot very old school VHS to help sell the 90's setting. It was a nightmare to find the best way to export it all. I'm still not sure if we did this entirely properly -- and hopefully it's not the cause of these issues. Also, I know VHS is only SD -- we chose to import at the utmost quality, i.e. 1920x1440 and ProRes 422, because more of the image detail was present in low-light.)
    I found that I had to select all the clips in each timeline, right click, and select the 'Set to Frame Size' to have the video full frame once again. Then I had to render everything.
    As I tried to resume my edit, the performance was much slower. Playback is a nightmare. I get the beach ball of death constantly. It would take several minutes to save the project. And it started to crash about once an hour on top of everything.
    But I continued to work for the last eight days, hoping that I'd be able to rectify this somehow.
    I cleared the cache with no luck.
    I read that I could uncheck 'Composite in Linear Color' to make it faster, but that wasn't an issue in the last build.
    My playback and paused resolution is 1/4.
    I read that I should update my OS to OS X Mavericks, but that keeps crashing too! Haha.
    I understand that my system isn't the best, but I just want my project to perform as well as it did on Premiere CC before the update.
    I just spoke to an Adobe tech who basically told me that there wasn't a solution here besides reverting back to Premiere CC from CC 2014 -- or buying a new Macbook.
    But there has to be a way that I can get the same performance that I did before the upgrade, right? I have a feeling something happened to how CC 2014 is using the existing footage.
    (Also, I noticed that clips where I increased the zoom, i.e. 100% to 110%, were back at their original size. And instead of saying 100%, it was now saying 300%. I'm assuming this is because of the 'Set to Frame Size' setting, but this wasn't the case on Premiere CC.)
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do here?
    Here's my sequence settings on CC 2014:
    And on CC:
    For some reason, portions of this window are grayed out, and not in CC 2014. Not sure if this has anything to do with the issue.
    Thanks a ton in advance everyone! I really can't afford to lose 8 days worth of work, so any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!
    I'll be more than happy to provide additional info.
    I'm really looking to find out, definitively, if my only two options are: a) go back to Premiere CC and lose my recent work, or b) buy a new laptop, which I can't afford.
    (As a side question, is there any way I can transfer my recent work from CC 2014 to CC? I understand it's not backwards-compatible, but there has to be at least a partial solution.)
    Best,
    Jon

    Thanks for the quick response!
    So just this right (to DV):
    I scrubbed through really quick, seems like it just may have worked.

  • Very Slow Performance After Removing Windows Partition

    Hello,
    Recently I went through a failed attempt at installing Windows 7 onto my Macbook Pro using boot camp. After this failure I decided to try again another day and used the boot camp assistant to remove the Windows partition.
    Ever since doing this, my computer has been running extremely slowly and beach balls on the simplest of tasks.  I have tried resetting the SMC and my PRAM all to no avail.  I have also used Disk Utility to verify my disk and it says that my disk looks OK.
    Has anyone else experienced this/know of any possible fixes?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    This may happen sometimes due to anti-virus or firewalls also.Disable them and check if it works better...Or, otherwise try these:
    - First uninstall the latest Windows Updates.

  • Does any one experience having slow performance after upgrading to lion? (I'm using an iMac early 2008 with 4gb memory)

    I'm having a problem on my iMac early 2008 (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo 4gb SDRAM) after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.
    The animation such as mission control and full screen and especially, launch pad performs really slow.
    Sometimes, mission control doesn't even show the animation.
    This is terrible and I want Apple to fix these problems or otherwise this is just making my mac useless.
    Does anyone experience having similar problem?

    thanks for the reply!
    I've checked the activity monitor but nothing was taking up the space expect for Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in, which takes up 29% of CPU)
    here's my screenshot. can you see any problems?
    and here's another

    The query returns a single row, because it calculates the sum. The query could be better written to get rid of IN or NOT IN which are costly. But I just wonder why the plans/performance are so different?
    I used analyze to analyze other tables and it is still working fine in 10g. Now based on the plans, do you think anything wrong ?
