Slow rendering when working on large vector graphic

I'm having difficulty working on vector images - Panning, zooming, selecting etc... everything is lagging constantly. I can't figure out what is wrong. It only happens if the image is too complicated (Yes, it does contains several hundredths of anchors points).
The computer was originally used for CADing, but I now primarly use it for AI, PS, ID and 3D image composing using Deep exploration/3D via Composer (Deep exploration/3Dvia does not work properly becuase the lack of video memory). I have tried to work with the same type of vector image using a different computer (equipped with Nividia Geforce 9600M 512MB). Same result as the previous computer, everything is lagging. Although, when using Deep exploration/3Dvia it works smooth. So I rule out that the video card is the problem.
In addtion, neither of the computers work on 100%. So I can rule out that the CPU is not the issue either.
Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong...?
Hardware:
Computer 1
CPU: Intel C2D 6400 2.13GHz
Graphic: Nvidia Qudro FX 560 128MB (CAD)
RAM: 3GB
HDD: 500GB (7200)
Computer 2
CPU: T9700
Graphic: Nividia Geforce 9600M 512MB (3D)
RAM: 3GB
HDD: 500 (5400RPM)

Three possible culprits:
1) Has your artwork got embedded images? If so, link them instead of embedding. Linked files weigh next to nothing.
2) Are you saving your file with pdf compatibility? If you are, don't unless you have to. The pdf component makes files much heavier
3) Does viewing the file in outline view (Cmd+Y, Mac / Ctrl+Y, Windows) speed things up? If so, there may be something wrong with your screen memory.
1) Nope, it's just a AI file with bunch of anchor points.
2) It is opened as a PDF, but once I save it as a AI file, it reacts the same.
3) Not at all... it is the same.
Screen memory?

Speed up Illustrator CC when working with large vector files

Raster (mainly) files up to 350 Mb. run fast in Illustrator CC, while vector files of 10 Mb. are a pain in the *blieb* (eg. zooming & panning). When reading the file it seems to freeze around 95 % for a few minutes. Memory usage goes up to 6 Gb. Processor usage 30 - 50 %.
Are there ways to speed things up while working with large vector files in Illustrator CC?
System:
64 bit Windows 7 enterprise
Memory: 16 Gb
Processor: Intel Xeon 3,7 GHz (8 threads)
Graphics: nVidia Geforce K4000

Files with large amounts vector points will put a strain on the fastest of computers. But any type of speed increase we can get you can save you lots of time.
Delete any unwanted stray points using Select >> Object >> stray points
Optimize performance | Windows
Did you draw this yourself, is the file as clean as can be? Are there any repeated paths underneath your art which do not need to be there from live tracing or stock art sites?
Check the control panel >> programs and features and sort by installed recently and uninstall anything suspicious.
Sorry there will be no short or single answer to this, as per the previous poster using layers effectively, and working in outline mode when possible might the best you can do.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router

safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router - any ideas on why?

Is your problem with Safari on the iPad, or some MacBook Air?
Are you sure that the ASUS firmware is tested with the device having trouble and its operating system?
Note: MacBook Airs do not run iOS. They run Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.

Working with labelled vector graphics (CS4)

I've working with a rather large set of simple geometric vectors.
They've all been created in illustrator, but need to be scaled in InDesign and flow with the text.
The only method I've come up with is somewaht convoluted, so I thought I'd share and see if anyone had any suggestions on how I might improve the workflow.
- vector graphic is pasted (not placed) into InDesign and ungrouped
- strokes are converted (manually) to object styles (graphic styles created in illustrator are lost)
- graphis is regrouped and roughly scaled
- labels are added and paragraph styles applied
- labels are grouped with graphic, cut, and "paste into" anched text box
- re-scaling and label edits are done with select content/container/next object
More complicated graphics will be linked and rescaled in illustrator and relabelled and placed as above.
Is there a better/easier way to do this?
(Maybe CS5 will have a container isolation mode...)

I want to keep the labels out of illustrator, but there are a few graphics with more detail that percentage scaling is the way to go.
It would be far easier if InDesign would respect (i.e. import, map) Illustrator's graphic styles.

Table contained in a topic causes slow response when working with source

I am using RoboHelp V8.0.2 (I have applied the two fixes available from the Adobe product site).
Here is my issue:
I am documenting a product that has over 1,500 metrics.
I am trying to make a list of 1,077 metrics in one topic (all the metrics are of the same "type" so they are grouped together).
The table presenting these metrics has two columns, a Field Name column and a Description column.
There is not a lot of text within the table - most of the explanations and calculations are defined outside the table.
When I have more than about 400 table rows, the response time working with the topic in source is just horrible.
It took 3 minutes to open the topic in source, another 3 minutes to move the table over .425in from margin.
When I try to close the project, it gets hung up.
Has anyone else run into a problem working with tables within a topic?
I had a similar response time issue with V8.0.0 in general when I first installed it.
Once I installed the two fixes, that problem was (for the most part) eliminated.
I think the second fix specifically addressed response time issues when working in source.
I am going to try this on one of my other writer's machine to see if it is the age of my computer.
My computer setup is:
Dell Precision work station with an Intel Xeon 2.40GHZ processor and 2MB of RAM.
I am using Windows XP Professional 5.1.26 Service Pack 3.0.
I have a 110 GB hard drive with 18 GB available.
As always - thanks for any insight or information.
Michael F Weart

Hi Michael.
Interestingly the maximum number of rows you can use when you create a table via the Table > Insert > Table menu item is 100. That said, I've just created a 500 row table and whilst it is slower than a smaller table it is OK. I am also using RH 8.0.2 but on a higher spec PC.

Slow performance when moving bunch of vector shapes

Hi there,
Photoshop CS6 Beta is soo slow in comparison to Photoshop CS5 when moving lots of vector layers. Check the videoa below please:
CS6 - http://screencast.com/t/wBOzhTySdSf
CS5 - http://screencast.com/t/ab7BDbgNxUYe
- GPU Settings Enabled in both
- GeForce GTX 560, latest drivers
- i7 3,4 GHz, 16GB RAM
Why CS6 is so slow in this situation?
EDIT: I found the Problem comes form the Layer Palete. Take a look how changing the tabs form Layers to Channels affect the moving performance : http://screencast.com/t/Gi01o1GzFPzJ
This have to be fixed, as in more complex files this will be huge problem..
Regards,
SK

Hi,
Nothing peculiar at all. Normal text laters.
Each field have subgroups with info - http://screencast.com/t/ykon4QwdBxC Overall lots of layers there, but in CS5 no problem to move them.
Still can't understand why I can move all of these better when layer palete is not displayed.
Test file - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0phn6xiF-cobkc3cUViM0dSV3ktYk5Vbm5Bci1TUQ
Please test it on CS5 (you will notice how smooth it is) and CS6 on both try to switch between layers palete and channels palete and try to move to see the difference. Move whole group named "Form",
Please let me know if I can help with something else to define the problem.
/I'm using Windows 7 x64, Photoshop CS6 beta x64/
Thank you!
Regards,
SK

Incredibly slow rendering when editing raws from the new Nikon D800

I would be happy to hear from users of the D800 and Apple's "Aperture" 3.2.3. My own experience is that the rendering of f.inst. a "burned" file/picture (Raw-file) is incredibly SLOW....what is your experience. Any knowledge of whether Apple will come forward with an upgrade of Aperture?

mamster37 wrote:
I am fully aware of all about the file size, and that one should expect a slow down in the rendering, but this is really a significant slow down, and unless Apple come up with a solution I am afraid that one is obliged to find other solutions for the editing of Nikon D800 raw files. My details are:
MacBook Pro Intel
OS: Mac OSX, 10.7.3 Lion
Installed memory: 8GB
You have not described which MBP CPU/GPU, drives SSD/HDD, how full any HDDs are. That is essential information.
As all the photo sites have discussed, the D800 files are huge and will require more horsepower to handle. With a new D800 you are the experimenter here on the bleeding edge of technology, so all of us will learn from your observations.
I would guess that only the strongest Sandy Bridge MBPs with 8-16 GB RAM will do well. I was doing fine with 8 GB RAM (zero page-outs) and then recently I did some very aggressive Photoshop/Aperture work and page outs skyrocketed: I need more RAM, and I don't have a D800 yet so my NEF files run only ~20 MB each. How large (MB) are your NEF files?
You can evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM by looking at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical work session; recheck after working and if the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved. Ignore page ins, the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor.
If your test shows that page outs increase at all during operation it is affecting performance. You can
• add RAM as feasible
• restart with some frequency if you suspect memory leaks (common especially with less-than-top-quality applications)
• and/or simply try to run only one app at a time, for sure diligently closing unneeded apps like browsers
• and/or switch 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation (which will make some additional RAM space available). Note that your Mac may already default to 32-bit. See Switching Kernels:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4287
Note that RAM is cheap and heavy apps' usage of more RAM is a good thing. Photoshop for instance has been able to under OS X take advantage of up to at least 32 GB RAM for years.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
-Allen
EDIT: Note my focus on discussing RAM above is because that is all we know about your MBP. It does not mean that I necessarily suggest that RAM may be your primary issue.

Two work-arounds for Siena when working with large files

MonaTech pointed out that Project Siena will crash when switching to the desktop or another app. I've also noticed this happening even when the monitor goes to sleep with inactivity. To be clear, this is *developing* in Siena, not after the app
you're working on has been compiled and installed.
The 'non-technical' work-around that has been successful for me is to split the screen before I switch to another app. It's not perfect but at least I can switch to another app (browser, desktop app, etc.) without losing where I'm at.
A more technical work-around is proposed in this thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c768be8f-3c85-444e-bb44-6f29abdecee7/project-siena-app-memory-issues-with-large-project-?forum=projectsiena
If you have a version of Visual Studio (that's not Express) it may do the trick for you.
FYI - In the post you'll see that Olivier responded and indicates that this is a known issue.

Very slow response when working in MIDI

no matter what the action is my app is responding painfully slow when i work in midi. is there anyway i can optimize performance? the app responds about 20 secs late! agh!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Removing RIghtZoom worked for me!
I only had it installed because I don't like the way windows in OS X don't fully maximize like windows. I much prefer Illustrator to work than have full screen... plus photoshop tool selection is much faster as well.

You are stuck with giving PS less than 70% of the RAM resources or else you will starve computer and it may crash.
And if you run any other programs at the same time it takes more computer resources to keep everything running.
If running huge files you don't have many options. It may work better in CS5 or less as seems like every new version takes more horsepower, and CS6 sends a lot of work to the video card.

Can motion 5 work with imported vector graphics?

Hey everyone, does motion 5 allow you to import vector artwork files such as eps or adobe illustrator files?

You need to change your illustartor or eps files to pdf (either in illustratrator or preview). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can keep your layers.
One thing to look out for... the default is for the pdf to be rasterized - if you don't want jaggies you turn it off by selecting it in the media tab, then go to the inspector media tab > media controls and click off Fixed Resolution (or give it a higher fixed width/height). Not extremely intuitive, but it gets the job done...

Some advice for quicker rendering of work area preview in AE?

Hi
I've been using premiere over the past while and gotten used to the option of 'render effects in work area' and then leaving it for a few minutes till the green bar is ready to be viewed, but now that I am using After effects, i have found that RAM preview is extremely slow, very very slow, especially when working with particle systems, is there a quicker option to select is i only wish to preview the small work area of the composition? Is RAM preview work the same way as 'render effects in work area' as in premiere or should i be using a different preview render option?
Thanks

There are numerous options in the RAM Preview pallet for creating faster previews. You can preview just the work area. You can reduce preview resolution. You can reduce preview frame rate.
You can also solo layers to preview a specific layer animation without having to render the entire composition.
Remember that AE previews in a very different way to Premiere Pro. AE loads every pixel of every preview frame into RAM before it plays, while PPro can play straight off your hard drive.

Query Designer slows down after working some time with it

Hi all,
the new BEx Query Designer slows down when working some time with it. The longer it remains open, the slower it gets. Especially formula editing slows down extremely.
Did anyone of you encounter the same problem? Do you have an idea, how to fix this. To me it seems as if the Designer allocates more and more RAM and does not free that up.
My version: BI AddOn 7.X, Support Package 13, Revision 467
Kind regards,
Philipp

I have seen a similar problem on one of my devices, the 'Samsung A-920'. Every time the system would pop up the 'Will you allow Network Access' screen , the imput from all keypresses from then on would be strangely delayed. It looked like the problem was connected with the switching from my app and the system dialog form. I tried for many many long hours / days to fix this, but just ended up hacking my phone to remove the security questions. After removing the security questions my problem went away.
I don't know if it's an option in your application, but is it possible to do everything using just one Canvas, and not switch between displayables? You may want to do an experiment using a single displayable Canvas, and just change how it draws. I know this will make user input much more complicated, but you may be able to avoid the input delays.
In my case, I think the device wasn't properly releasing / un-registering the input handling from the previous dialogs, so all keypresses still went through the non-current network-security dialog before reaching my app.
