Slow performance inside a Windows-VM

We have several (3) Windows 2003 x64 Systems working on top of a 8gig quad-core machine.
The Systems are only for testing and evaluation and are being used only by a few (ca. 4) users.
If the systems are booted up everything is very slow because of the enormous memory and pagefile usage of oracle and sap.
How can we change the memory usage of every SAP instance and also the oracle databases which are also installed inside the virtual machines?
Regards.
Alex

Hi Ciric,
Is this Java or ABAP? on either case, 3 systems with its own database on a 8 GB machine and 4 cores it is too much, do you really need 3 systems, 1 system can be share by your four users.
To reduce the memory used by Oracle you can adjust the following parameters:
db_cache_size
sga_max_size
shared_pool_reserved_size
shared_pool_size
Those mentioned before are only the most common.

Slow Performance on new Windows Server

Over the weekend we migrated from NetWare 5.1 running GWise 6.5 to a new Windows 2003 Server, still running GWise 6.5. We plan to upgrade to GWise 7.0 but needed to be on the new Server first due to a storage problem. We now have the MTA and POA on one Windows Server and GWIA and WebAccess on another Windows Server. Everthing is now working well but it is very slow. Any suggestions on how I can improve performance?

Duplicate. Please don't post the same question in multiple forums,
thanks.

Slow performance when resizing windows

Hi I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. Certainly capable of resizing windows, however when I resize windows I get very poor performance. I always have to wait for the window to redraw on screen. This is unacceptable. This powerful of a machine can't resize windows in real time? I'm running Tiger 10.4.11. Is this normal behavior? Anyone else experience this? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

That's not right. What happens when you run your visualizer in iTunes? You should be able to get 60 FPS. Try running your hardware tester once and see if you may have a graphics problem.

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.
Click on the Start Button> Type Windows Updates in the Start Search box > Click View Installed Updates at appears at the top > In the Installed Updates screen Sort the updates as per installed date by clicking on the Down arrow next to installed and choose a date or last week...
Uninstall the updates that were installed recently one by one. Do not restart.Click cancel on restart window.
Then perform a clean boot as shown in the link and follow these steps:
Perform a clean boot >
In the start search box type msconfig > Click Startup tab > Click disable all at the bottom > Then Click services > check the box next to Hide all microsoft services at the bottom > Then select disable all > Click Apply > Ok and restart.
Once it restarts then go to windows updates and complete all the updates > Restart and check. If it works better then Go bak to msconfig and enable only the startup programs and services that are required. Enable few and check again..
Let me know if problem continues..
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Windows 7 icons disappear/reappear Green Progress folder bar issues with slow performance. HELP!!!

Hi there, I hope someone can help me. This all started about a week ago. So I tried a fresh reinstall from my recovery disk. to no avail. Ok I have Home Premium 64bit and it seems my icons in my user folders and subfolders and the actual file icons are
blank stand ard or missing. after a while they reappear to normal. the green progress bar in the explorer folders always lags and never fully completes. It hangs. Now I see that it takes 30 secs to get a program to open. Currently my control panel screen is
blank and my connection between my ipod touch 5g and my desktop is very slow at data transfer. I'm going bonkers! The only things I altered was turning off WMM in my router, Installed a software someone gave me (only to find out it was a crack software) deleted
that first! and used CCleaner to clean my registry

Hi,
So a total reinstall didn’t fix the issue?
We may take a try with the following article to make Windows a better performance.
Optimize Windows for better performance
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/optimize-windows-better-performance#optimize-windows-better-performance=windows-7
Then, please check to see if any new updates available, also the related drivers, make sure they are up-to-date.
After that, if issue insists, please refer to the following article to run chkdsk command in CMD to check if there are disk issue.

Slow Performance, Windows with My Documents Redirection, path temp

I've been annoyed by the SLOW performace on Itunes for Windows ever since i purchased my iPhone, i think i know one reason for my slow performance now.
My Windowx-box is member of a domain (connected to a Windows Small Business server) and for security we use folder-redirection on "My Documents" folder (i.e instead of "C:\%username%\my documents\" we use \\server\%username%\my documents) this is a quite common setup on any businesscomputer using windows.
Itunes on windows defaults to storing its cache and library in My Documents and in my case its on \\server\ , this hurts performance tremendously since im on a wireless 54g connection.
I'd like to be able to configure where I want the library stored AND wich HD to put temp-files/cache on...
If this is something that takes ages to fix I welcome any reghacks or directions or wich file to hex-edit to make a workaround.

Copy the iTunes folder on the server to you local hard drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library*.
Select the *iTunes library.itl* file in the iTunes folder on your local drive.

Windows Server 2012 very slow performance executing files

Hello,
I am running windows server 2012 as dc with 2 clients connected running win7 pro x64, this is a new setup.
Whenever i try to open a large file from the client or an application from the client it takes forever to startup or to load. The performance monitor indicates a maximum workload of 15% at all times.

Slow performance from Premiere Elements 10

Hi guys,
I recently purchased Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 10 to edit some wedding video. I am experiencing some slow performance with the software (and random lockups for that matter). My CPU usage shows nearly nil when using the program and with IE with multiple tabs open at the moment and the Premiere Elements open, I am showing that I still have about 5GB of RAM free. However, I am still getting some slow performance from the software with random lockups. The video came from a sony HDR-CX700V camera, it is all 1080P video and there is about 3 hours worth of footage added to my current project. I imported the footage by just dragging and dropping the video folder contents into the "Project" tab within the program.
An example of the slow performance I get is this. I added a Title card to start before the video. When I hit play to see how it looks, the preview screen shows nothing, but you can see the time scrolling, then the video suddenly starts, but the video is really choppy. I also had a heck of a time just adding that title card, as when I did it the program crashed once and locked up a couple of times. Any ideas how I can fix this? What other information would you need to help me further troubleshoot the problem?
My system is has an i7-720 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX260M with the latest driver from NVIDIA.
TIA guys!

APEX 4.2 Slow Performance

Good morning,
I have installed Oracle 11g Express in my Windows 2012 Server and I have 10 apex applications running on it. The access and the performance inside all web applications is very slow. How can I improve it?
I've read about increasing JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES or SHARED_SERVER parameters but I'm not sure.
If I install Oracle HTTP Server my APEX web applications could go faster?
Thanks and regards

I've already installed apex listener in Glassfish but I don't know how to configure it to connect with my oracle database.
When I put http://localhost:8081/apex/ in my browser I am redirected to http://localhost:8081/apex/not-yet-configured with the message "This installation is not configured yet"

Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all

This is a DELL PowerEdge R820 / 256GB RAM / 4TB onboard storage configured as Remote Desktop Services Host /TS... running QuickBooks, MS Office 2010 STD, Symantec EndPoint Protection (basic antivirus installation ONLY)... 1 month old server... SUPER fast,
super powerfull.... Part of an AD in SBS 2008 Premium... single NIC card 4 ports / 3 ports disabled. single IP... no VLANS... server is able to resolve ANY pc, DNS record with no problems... able to resolve DC by name, able to receive GP, able to update, able
to do everything that I can think of.... EXCEPT... anything I open, word, excel, QuickBooks, IE.... takes forever to open... after the application is open is fast but to open anything takes 3-4 minutes.... open ticket with Symantec all looks good, created
lots of exceptions for antivirus/real time scanning, open ticket with QuickBooks: files look good application was removed and reinstalled to be sure all was done correctly... check the binding order for the disabled NIC; the active one is TOP option, no errors
at all in event viewers for system, application, setup, no errors at all in DELL management tool, no hard drive errors, no controllers errors.... this server is replacing an old dell poweredge 2008 STD with 24GB RAM... the old DELL opens the same applications
way faster than the new one... same Quicken version; old server opens Quicken in seconds, new one 3-4 minutes..... Real time monitoring NEVER goes above 1% for CPU and 3% for memory utilization.... one more thing... removed antivirus 100% restart... same performance
without antivirus.....
Any ideas will be great as of how to troubleshoot the slow performance....
Thank you!

Hi,
As Sam suggested, please check if there any issue occurred in hard drive.
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and troubleshoot, then check if we can find more
clues.
Please check if you have installed all necessary updates for the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if there has software conflicts.
Please use Resource Monitor to troubleshoot and check if we can find some more details.

Slow performance on a iMac 27" (maybe originated by the HDD)

Hello,
Well, I've had my iMac for 10 months now, but have never really paid attention to its performance since it was my first Mac and I was upgrading from a quite old computer, so it obviously proved to be a far superior machine.
However, I noticed the problem when I started to be more critical with my machine's performance (this triggered by the fact that I bought, some months after, a MacBook Air which flies beyond time and space). Curious about this, I requested a friend to do a benchmark test with Xbench resulting in his machine (another iMac 27” with comparable specs) clearly outperforming mine. Even the Air, with its slower processor and smaller RAM, has a relatively close performance.
Additionally, I have started to notice how the computer takes a long time to start-up and, after the desktop is “layed out”, it takes a lot of time before the machine becomes “responsive” (I usually try to start Mail and Google Chrome as soon as the pointer pops in!) with the final result that I have to wait in company of the beach ball for quite some seconds (half a minute) and even after the application had started, I can still hear the HDD working it as if there would be no tomorrow! And then, it is slooooow. Funnily enough, “tougher” applications like Photoshop or Illustrator don’t seem to have as many problems, relatively speaking.
A little bit on the background info: I have two partitions: one for Bootcamp (since I was migrating from Windows, I had some software that I wanted to use there: Matlab and Office, basically, and then some smaller Windows-only programs).
Derived from the benchmark test, I think I might have isolated the problem to the HDD (not sure though!).
SO THE QUESTIONS ARE:
1. How can I verify that the slow performance is due to the HDD being defective/badly configured/etc.?
2. Has the Windows Bootcamp Partition any effect on my machine’s performance under MacOS? (I would assume not, but you never know!). I have more than 1.3 TB free space left
3. What kind of corrective measures should I take?
4. Any other type of advice will be warmly welcome: I will try to do some PRAM and SMC resets but I am not counting on it. I had also ran the disk utilities and there were no permission errors (not so sure what this means, but I’ve read that it is supposed to be good news.)
5. Any extra info you might need, lemme know!
Greetz,
Víctor.
PS: Sorry for the loooong post. I tried to be thorough!

1. How can I verify that the slow performance is due to the HDD being defective/badly configured/etc.?
Run Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
2. Has the Windows Bootcamp Partition any effect on my machine’s performance under MacOS? (I would assume not, but you never know!). I have more than 1.3 TB free space left
Probably not but 1.3TB of free space left on the total HD is not enough for OS X, OS X needs a minimum of 10-15% free space! If you mean 1.3TB of Windows space I'd recommend posting that question in the Boot Camp forum.
3. What kind of corrective measures should I take?
If the drive is failing per the AHT then it's covered by warranty and will need to be replaced. Remember back up!!!!!!!!!!
4. Any other type of advice will be warmly welcome: I will try to do some PRAM and SMC resets but I am not counting on it. I had also ran the disk utilities and there were no permission errors (not so sure what this means, but I’ve read that it is supposed to be good news.)
Can't hurt, make sure you read the instructions carefully and execute the tests exactly as they are described for Intel based iMacs.
5. Any extra info you might need, lemme know!
If you no longer have a need for Windows on your iMac I'd recommend removing that partition using Boot Camp Assistant. That may correct your problems.
I would also recommend checking if System Preferences - Startup Disk and see if your internal HD is highlighted as the Startup Disk.
In addition I would recommend checking your Login Items (System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items) and delete any applications you don't need launching at Login.

Slow performance-CS4, why?

Hi,
I have a Q9450 proccessor, Vista 64 bit with 4GB ram. ever since I installed CS4, things are going a bit slow in PPRO, and I don't understand why?
For example, scrubbing or playback in the timeline have become painfully slow, and sometimes, I see leftovers of the marker, as if I don't have enough memory (it's hard to explain in writing... I hope
you got it). Overall, all the symptoms shows I don't have enough memory, because of the slow performance, but it doesn't make sense, cause I have 4 GB, and in CS3 it all worked great.
Any suggetsions?

worked just great...
I don't get it.
I googled a bit and found this thread:
http://dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=149929&page=4
read what Dave Helmly at Adobe had to say (below):
YES we use all Cores for playback , effects, and rendering for both Mac and Windows.
I highly recommend switching to Vista 64 if you are a Windows user (Mac guys are OK with 10.5.4 or higher) Vista 64 will allow Production Premium CS4 to run using more than 4GB of Ram (XP/Vista32 Limitation). As with most NLEs, there are several programs running at the same time to give you the NLE experience. CS4 now allows each process to take up to 4Gb of RAM. If you have 16GB of RAM, then 4 processes can take up to 4GB each. This is a HUGE advantage over CS3. What are some examples of processes? DynamicLink, AfterServer, Photoshop Server, Adobe Media Encoder, Titler, Playback, Capture, Importer, and many more. I tell most people to count on buying 8GB minium.
So maybe I have to add more ram, in order CS4 to run properly...

Slow performance LR 1.3.1 (Library Module)

LR 1.2 is running OK on my iMac. A while ago I tried LR 1.3. The upgrade really slowed down performance. Mostly a lag in the sliders and navigation tools in both Library and Develop modules that made it unworkable to me. I changed back to LR 1.2.
Since I want to import Canon G9 RAW files into LR, I upgraded to LR 1.3.1 recently. Performance of sliders and the navigation tool in the Develop module seems the same as in LR 1.2 (or maybe even a little better). Which means it is OK (workable). It still shows the blur when navigating a 100% zoomed image though. But the navigation tool in the Library module still has the same slow performance as it had in LR 1.3. Unworkable!!! I tried everything: optimizing, new catalog, rendering previews, etc.
I need the Library module to work smoothly (as in LR 1.2) in order to compare images at 100% zoom. I am afraid I have to go back to LR 1.2 again and find another solution for my Canon G9 RAW files. Most inconvenient. I am very disappointed. Especially, since Adobe showed they CAN get it right with the Develop module in version LR 1.3.1...
Oh yeah, my system specs:
iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM (2GB + 1GB)
232,89 GB Harddrive, 113 GB available
ATI Radeon X1600 128MB
Mac OS 10.4.11
Please Adobe, make the Library module run as smoothly as the Develop module in version 1.3.2...

The preview folder is 2,11 GB big. The .lrcat is 47 MB big.
I opened a new test catalog. I imported 326 images. After the import I rendered 1:1 previews. It took a long time. Real memory used was between 700-1000MB. Virtual memory used was between 1000-1400MB. When it was done rendering it still keep on using 700MB real memory and 1000MB virtual memory. I had to close LR and restart. Real memory after restart was 75MB real memory and 375 virtual memory.
But it didn't matter. The lag in the navigation tool of the Library module was still there.
I noticed that when clicking in the navigation window there was less delay as when I slide the white square in the window (in Library module). In the develop module this seems the other way around. Sliding showed less delay than clicking.
What's going on here?
I also have a MacBook. Performance seems much faster than on my iMac overall. After creating a new catalog and rendering 1:1 previews, the lag in the navigation window seems less than before. But it was still there...

Slow Performance Weeks after Encryption

I encrypted my organization's laptops several weeks ago and did not return them to users until after I could tell by device performance that the bulk encrypting task had completed. I have two users that are experiencing extremely slow performance on their systems. When the users are typing anything like a Word document, upon each keystroke they see the Windows 7 "circle" icon at the mouse cursor. This seems to come and go several times over the week, and every few days we are getting a request to resolve the issue but after restarting the behavior may not act up anymore.
I found a TID suggesting to change HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell-FDE\Parameters\ThrottleEncryption to a lower level like Idle or BelowNormal. Is there anything else that I should also try? Thanks!

Yes, but nothing from Novell yet - I will keep pushing them forward and let you know if I get some results.

Sounds like you have a SR going on this also. Have you heard anything on a
fix? Mine has been stagnant for a while and I just bumped it to see if
anything has been figured out or if more info is needed from my side. Hope
to here something soon. This is a pretty severe problem especially when it
happens multiple times to a machine.

Hi,
We have had (maybe) similar issues with our FDE setup that FDE policy
assigned devices tend to loose the policy and start to do disk decryption
and suddenly get once again the policy back and start to encrypt again. This
could be found from "ZCM agent, Full disk encryption, about, Agents status,
Settings, on section "Emergency Recovery Information" you could see events
'Zone Changed' what according to Novell support meant that the policy was
"re-initialized / changed" even our policy counter have not changed = policy
got lost in some phase.
We are now suspecting that there is some issues with the policy service that
plays tricks on us.

In ZCC on the devices that you are having issues with look at the Emergency
Recovery tab and see if you have multiple listings in here that corresponds
to the slowness. If so your devices are decrypting and then re-encrypting.
Your mention of being asked to reboot leads me to believe that is what is
happening to you.
I have had a few SRs going on this one for a while and it got bumped to
backend but no info in a month or so.
