[SOLVED] Web navigation very slow

I've installed the last version of ArchLinux (archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686.iso) and the web navigation is very slow. Loading Google's home page in Windows is instantaneous but in Linux it takes about 9 seconds. And the rest of web pages are the same. I've noticed that, when loading a web page, it takes a lot of time in "Looking up www.google.es..." so I guess that it is a networking problem. I've tried several web browser with the same result.
I've tried several changes which I found in Internet:
a) According to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61408:
- I included the host name in /etc/hosts
- I deactivated IPv6 in /etc/modprobe.conf with "alias net-pf-10 off"
b) According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qui … ux_Install:
- In /etc/rc.conf, I updated:
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
because my router is in 192.168.1.1 and the page recommended to remove the ! in ROUTES=(!gateway)
- I added /etc/resolv.conf.head:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
These changes improved a bit the performance but I am not satisfied yet. It takes a lot of time to retrieve the 1st page from a server (however, afterwards, the navigation in that server is normal). It looks like there is no cache for DNS names.
Any hint?
Thank you in advance

Glad you found it! One of the first things I do when setting up a system behind the typical soho router, is to put either the isp's primary and alternate dns addresses into the router itself. (I actually prefer OpenDNS addresses - scroll to the bottom right of their web page)
In days of old when soho routers didn't always follow internet rfq's, and seemed to have their internal dns routines tuned for Windows / Mac, doing this helped bypass that nonsense. Now the *nix boxes had no problems with slow dns lookups, and the windows/mac boxes were just fine as well. I suppose soho routers are better these days, but I still do this.

*SOLVED* - 2D draw very slow, intel / fglrx Xorg driver

Hey all,
My very first support post to the forums
I have an issue on a few computers whereby the 2D drawing in X is very slow. This happens on my laptop with Intel vga and also on a desktop when using the proprietary fglrx driver. I did not have this problem a few months ago when using stable. At that time, I installed testing and discovered the problem, so I went back to stable. Some time later an update to Xorg came into stable and since then the problem is now in the that tree also.
I thought it might be the new GEM stuff for the Intel driver, so I installed the 2.6.28 kernel when it was released - it did not solve the problem. Installing an NVIDIA card into the desktop box does solves the problem (can't do that for my laptop!). Because it's happening with the intel and fglrx drivers, but not with NVIDIA, I think it might be a problem with some Xorg component that the NVIDIA driver performs itself? But I've no idea..
Essentially, I'm using wmii as my desktop, which is a tiled window manager. Creating a new terminal window, switching between them and closing them all is very slow (taking a second or more), when it should be pretty much instantaneous.
When doing these things, Xorg takes up 90% CPU usage. By comparison, on the same laptop under Debian it only uses 10% CPU (and the problem does not exist).
I have created two desktop screencasts of what I mean. In the videos I am quickly opening a bunch of xterms and then later holding down 'switch between terminals', then holding down 'close terminal'. I run htop to show the CPU usage.
Arch, 4.9 MB, OGV - http://christophersmart.com/videos/archlinux-wmii.ogv
Debian, 5.7 MB, OGV- http://christophersmart.com/videos/debian-wmii.ogv
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
Chris
Edit: FYI, the desktop has an Intel Core2 CPU with 8GB RAM and 2 x WD Raptor drives in RAID 0. With an ATI card, wmii is unusable.

Well I first discovered the problem with the 'intel' driver and later when I set up Arch Linux on a desktop I was met with the same issue. I think it might be some part of Xorg that they both share, but it's not just a problem with the catalyst driver.. unfortunately

Navigation very slow and not able to enter in memory a sequence issue

Hello,
we have a big problem with oracle forms performance since we deployed our
application to the web. all our customers are not confortable with this new
environment because the sytem are very slow and working it's very difficult.
our application is very slow in point of when the user use very quickly the key
functions it doens't work.
I explain :
for example, we have a button &Verifier (alt+v : acces key to this button) and
when clicking to button we have a dialox box that contains 2 buttons:
Oui(alt+O:access key) and Non(alt+N:access key) and if we click Oui(alt+O) it
popup as an information box and we must click Ok(alt+O: access key).
then if we click quickly alt+v after alt+o after alt+o it doens't work and it
wait to click againt alt+o.(like the system doesn't follow or has not yet enter all the sequence in the memory)
before in client/server it work's fine.
it's like our application in the web it's not able to entered in memory a
serial of access key.
please can you help me the problem is always occuring in the production
environment.
our environment:
- oracle jiniator :1.3.1.22
OAS 10G (9041)
DATABASE 9206
- the complete version of forms : 9.0.4.0.19
- we have 23 USERS.
any help are welcome, the problem are urgent.
thank you.

Hi
Lets analyse and hope to narrow down your issue
We have used the Pick and Pack Manager to release goods from Sales Order through to Invoice. The functionality offered is good,
> Slow performance could be triggered by multile issue , so lets wait
> Do you know PICKand PACK manager is only for status ,but it actually doesn't affect inventory level .
but in practise the system is so slow it is taking 2 to 3 times longer than copying to a Sales Invoice.
> You need to do delivery first and transfer the delivery into invoice .
Is there any way of cutting out part of the process to speed things up? What we really need is to be able to create an invoice(s) straight from the Pick and Pack manager.
>> It basically depends upon your business process . but by software , You can bypass Pick and PACK Manager process. You can transfer your sales order into A/R invoice and while posting A/R invoice , inventory will be reduced .
Hope this help to narrow down your issue
thank you

[SOLVED] Pacman is very slow inside VirtualBox

Hello everyone, I've used Arch Linux for a while now and I never had any serious issue. I've been testing Arch inside VirtualBox recently and it installs fine and all that but when I try to update the system, updating repos is very slow, once the repos are up-to-date, pacman offers the latest packages to download very fast and waits for me to press 'y'. Once I do press 'y', it downloads the packages very slow.
I have a 15 Mbps connection (goes up to 30
Mbps when bandwidth os available).
I'm using a mirror close to
My state NY (rit, umoss, vt, or even gatech).
The /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts have the same hostname.
I've tried to test in VMware server but there was a problem with vmware. Fedora 13 also updates really slow as well. Debian and Ubuntu don't have a problem.
I have Arch on my flash drive and I booted it up on my machine and pacman works much faster when not inside the VM. The weird thing is that when I was using and older version of VirtualBox, everything was working great, which makes me think that it's a Virtualbox but.. but then why is Debian working fine but Fedora and Arch slow?
Any suggestions?

Alright, since no one has posted, I'm going to assume no one knows how to fix this yet.
I've been messing around for the last couple of days, and I was looking into the network options that VirtualBox has.
From all the options:
NAT
Bridged Networking
Internal Networking
Host-Only Networking
NAT and Bridged Networking seem to make the most sense, but the problem was that NAT requests a new IP from the router and uses it's own driver to do the networking, I saw this as that the VirtualBox NAT driver might be messing up how the traffic flows (including the speed) in Arch Linux and possibly in Linux in general.
For Bridged Networking, the VM uses the physical adapter of the host, and that shot me right away. I told myself, why use an intermediate driver to communicate with the router if I can use the physical adapter directly and pull information faster. At the point my statement was theoretical, but once I booted up Arch Linux and tried it... the slowness was gone. Pacman now updates repos and downloads packages much faster. Fedora 13 in the VM also works much faster as well, not only for updating repos and downloading packages, but also for web browsing within the VM.
I think that there might either be a bug or performance issue that's affecting the NAT driver in VirtualBox version 3.2.8 r64453, because you do recall I said that I was using the NAT driver in an older version of VirtualBox and it wasn't slow.
I hope this can help someone in the future.
EDIT: Check this page about Networking options in VirtualBox and what they do:

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't help then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Web page VERY slow to load

I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, but the gallery page loads very slow. I believe it's from the images, but they want to keep all those images and that size. I used IrfanView to compress the images but to me, the page still loads slow. Here is the web page http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery.html. Is there anything else I can do to help the web page load faster? Thank you!

I think you're missing the point.
You need to actually resize each fullsize image to make a smaller image which will be your thumbnail. Then compress.
e.g.http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery/DSC00486.JPG is 3264px x 2448px.
1. You need to resize that image in Irfanview to 240px x 216px then compress it.
2. Then insert the 240px x 216px thumbnail in your page. (Not the fullsize image which takes far too long to load)
3. Then link each thumbnail to its fullsize version (3264 px x 2448px which is still too big dimensionally for a webpage)
4. Same steps are required for all the fullsize images.

[SOLVED] Network speed very slow, no apparent reason

Hello, recently I switched from Windows 7 RC1 to Arch on my home machine (I have used Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Fedora 10 on the same machine in the past), and for some reason network speed is very slow.
I have Verizon's 20mbit/5mbit package, and I have always gotten that speed.
Using speedtest.net and 100mb.test from cachefly on multiple computers I have come to the conclusion that it is infact my Arch install that is causing the problem:
- All other machines on my network are getting 20/5 (both wired and wireless)
- I ran a speedtest from 2 other machines using the ethernet cable that this PC is on. Again, full 20/5.
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> other Arch box: ~2.8MB/s.
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from other Arch box -> this PC: ~2.8MB/s.
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> UK VPS (100mbit line): ~539KB/s
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from UK VPS -> this PC: ~76KB/s
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> Chicago Server (dual gbit lines): ~563KB/s
- scp transfer of 100mb.test from Chicago Server -> this PC: ~91KB/s
speedtest.net result:
Upload speed seems to be unaffected.
I have tried disabling TCP window scaling, and appending my hostname to /etc/hosts.
What is weird though is that the other Arch box has an identical network config, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
My NIC is an integrated Realtek something, I can get the exact model if needed.

Hi, whipsch
Can you try ethtool to see if your ethernet card is actually negociating and using a 100Mb full duplex link on your LAN ? If not you can try to force the link parameter with ethtool. Also maybe the driver of your NIc has options related to link negociation.
Hope this helps,

Web pages very slow to load if at all

I just bought my first Mac about 9 months ago...and was loving it until 7-10 days ago the web access has slowed to a crawl, and sometimes not at all. I also seem to recall it was about the time I updated some software.
I have tried several of the suggestions on these forums...adding DNS numbers, reversing DNS numbers....etc...nothing has worked thus far.
It also seems to have affected Firefox... is that possible?
Many times I cannot even access the web at all...I had to try about 6-7 times just to get to this Apple website.
I am wide open to any suggestions. Please note...I am only somewhat savvy regarding operating systems...so be gentle!!

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash.
If deleting the cache.db file doesn't help, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not third party add-ons, troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
 Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
And if you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, it would be beneficial to do so.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Web Pages Very Slow To Open

I recently switched DSL providers. In the process, I got a new DSL modem. This is a 2Wire (2701HG) DSL modem. It has a wireless router built-in. I have the 2Wire modem connected to an eMac via ethernet. This works well. No matter what Web browser I use, Web pages load at a very fast rate. I also have a Time Capsule connected via ethernet to the 2Wire modem. Time Capsule provides wireless Internet service throughout the house. I use a MacBook in various rooms to connect wirelessly through Time Capsule. My dilemma? The so-called "latency" rate on the MacBook. When Web pages load on the MacBook, there is a 12-15 second delay before the page actually loads. If I connect the MacBook via ethernet cable directly to the 2Wire modem, Web pages load fast. Any idea what's causing the unacceptably slow loading of Web pages on the MacBook when it's connected to the Internet with a wireless connection via Time Capsule? The 2Wire modem's wireless router is turned on and password protected, but I don't use it. The Time Capsule is also on and password protected, and I'm trying to fix the latency rate when I use the MacBook with a wireless connection. Any suggestions? Would disabling the 2Wire's wireless signal solve the problem? I'm using DHCP on Time Capsule. Does a setting need to be adjusted using Airport Utility? I have reset the Time Capsule numerous times, adjusted the Time Capsule's settings, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info about the modem or Time Capsule settings, I will provide it. The Time Capsule is not a bridge, it's just set up as a wireless router. Thanks.

You should only have one router on a home network (as its function is to translate a single public IP address to multiple private addressed on your LAN). If you have the 2Wire and TC both configured as routers, slow connection or no connection would be the likely result.
Suggestion would be to choose "Add New Network Device" when setting up the TC and add it as an Access Point. This will provide wireless connectivity and ensure that only one device is doing network address translation. My network is setup in this exact way (when an Airport Extreme router and a TC added as an Access Point) and I have not experienced any problems with 4 Macs that connect wirelessly.

Flash Web Pages Very Slow

Hi all, i've noticed on my iBook G4 1.33, 1GB, OSX 10.4.7 that any web pages that contain flash are really slow and not very responsive. I appreciate that flash movies are probably more intensive to the machine but having come from the PC where flash makes no difference regardless of your spec im finding it a little frustrating. Am i doing something wrong?
Cheers

aghh right,
basically on both the links above, i have no problems,
my problems are whenever there is flash ads or flash movie
streams, my scrolling is so bad, i have to go back to the old
fashion drag the bar.
i did actually think i had cured it with a reinstall of flash
player, but its back again.
as much as it pains me to say this....iam real tempted to go
back to the dreaded I.E.
as my main interests are gaming, virtually all my sites i
visit are every flash orientated, so to be honest, i dont know what
to do.
one thing for sure its dam annoying.

Jumanji web browser very slow when trying to open a new website

Hi Andy,
I believe that happens because all websites are part of the same Web Hosting Plan (Resource Group).
You can read more about it
here. In order to solve your problem you need to create a new hosting plan via the

Since a week or 2 Firefox has been loading web pages very slow. Or it does load them but it takes a good 3 seconds before i can scroll or enter anything.

This morning also it froze up for a good 10 seconds and then it loaded the web pages again. Especially when i am browsing on a forum and return to main page or something. It just takes ages before i can select anything. It loads somewhat slower also but the part of it that i cannot select anything or scroll down before it stops thinking.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

[SOLVED] Netcfg@.service very slow...

Hi!
I was wondering why is [email protected] taking so long to load:
systemd-analyze blame
4206ms [email protected]
2220ms psd.service
685ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
626ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service

12ms tmp.mount
5ms systemd-user-sessions.service
1ms sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount
I managed to get rid of consolekit, and i use a psd.timer that makes psd start 20sec from startup. So netcfg is the only thing is slowing my boot process.
The strangest thing is that networkmanager.service takes only 0.7s to load, and it seems very weird to me that network manager is faster then netcfg.
Here it is my "mynetwork" setup:

## Uncomment if the supplied ESSID is hexadecimal
#ESSID_TYPE='hex'

# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
I run
systemctl enable [email protected]
Network is working, so it's not a bug somewhere in netcfg, it is only SLOW. Really slow.
Thanks for any help!

Is 4.2secs really slow? I think it may just be kind of nitpicking since with systemd's parallelization it definitely would not boot four seconds faster if you did not enable it.
Oh i know...but networkmanager was really faster...is there a reason?
EDIT: with networkmanager, the overall
systemd-analyze
was 10s, while now is
systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 6769ms (kernel) + 7293ms (userspace) = 14063ms

Web pages very slow to load

I have just bought a Mac (3.1 GHz with 7 GB RAM) and have been very frustrated with the performance of Safari, Chrome and Firefox - specifically how long it takes web pages to load.
Chrome says 'sending request'.
Safari says 'contacting website' or 'loading http ....'
Firefox says 'connecting to website ....'
I am connected to a LAN via an ethernet cable and am connected to the internet via cable modem (BigPond).
My DNS servers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
I have cleared the history in the web browsers and have rebooted the machine many times.
What am I missing?
(My PC, connected to the same LAN, does not have the same problem.)
Many thanks for any help.

Let's stick with Safari.
Have you "reset Safari" from the Safari menu? You might try that.
Also, in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS, have you entered the DNS server?
What does a speed test like http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
or one of the others show?

EPM Web Pages very slow to render

I've installed Foundation Services on a Windows 2008 box with a single dual core CPU, 4GB RAM.
When I launch Workspace, the web page takes at lease 5 minutes to render. In addition launching any applciation within Workspace e.g. Shared Services, it also take about 5 minutes to render.
