Song load times?
Maybe it's just my crappy computer (see below or in my profile for more info), but iTunes takes about .8 seconds to load each song. It is especially noticeable on Tracks that transition into the next one. I changed the crossfade to 1 second, but it's not perfect.
I'm a prospective buyer, so I was wondering- does the iPod have this same problem? (PLEASE say no!)
2005 Gayass brand (aka dell) Windows XP Pretty f'in gay. Only 80 friggin gigs. 512 Megs of RAM. Utter crap by today's standards. Etc...
If you are planning to arbitrarily browse through songs, I would not go with a hard drive based iPod, or any hard drive based mp3 player. Hard drives suck up a ton of battery power, so the iPod software shuts the hard drive off as often as possible. As such, if you frequently skip back and forth through playlists, or switch playlists a lot, it's going to be spinning up and down a lot, and it does take about 1-3 seconds for it to spin up and load something. It's not really a big deal if you are just going to pick a playlist and listen to it.
If you don't want that latency, get a flash memory based iPod.
Hope this helps!

PS you might want to consider changing your computer profile. I know it's all true, but Apple can be pretty anal about language in the forums (it used to not even let you use the word "suck" in posts, even in the context "the laptop ***** the battery dry."). I'm not really trying to complain or anything though, just wanted to let you know!

Hi all,
I have a couple files I'm currently working on that take very long to load, one of them over an hour. I'm using 5 or 6 audio instruments, some have the "Play" plugin, which may contain a few patches on different midi channels. Also, I have an Ivory Piano plug on one of the channels and 3 or 4 audio tracks. There are no frozen tracks.
Any ideas why it would take so long to load these files? I don't feel I'm using many plugs since I will need to use more for more complex projects.
Thanks,
CobbHi,
Thanks for responding. Yes, I have no choice but to wait. I have to get the song loaded so I can work on it.
I have a lot of drives, but all the files related to the project are on a fast internal drive. The next step is to disconnect all my drives to see if that helps. Maybe one of the plug-ins is causing the problem. I can load the file without plugs and maybe try turning some off to see if the file loads.
I force quit Logic and tried again. It's been 50 min so far and the arrange window still hasn't loaded. It will load eventually... I hope. When it does, I'm going to bounce all the software instruments to audio and start a new file. -
Hey guys, I just got the shuffle, and i loaded it up for the first time (I checked hte option to convert high bitrate songs to 128k AAC so i can fit more songs on it) and it took 5 hours to load the 512 mb shuffle! Why is it so slow? My computer has USB 2.0, and all other storage devices take minutes to fill, why does it take so long for the shuffle to fill up? Is it because of the AAC option? will unchecking it speed it up a good 4 hours? thanks
Hey there!
I've got exactly the same problem.
Could you fix it in the meantime?
Thanks for answering,

Any way to move the Radio tab (Itunes Radio) right? Because it's the left-most tab, it loads first..forcing me to click on songs every time itunes loads. I'll never use ITunes Radio. The screen will forever be trying to sell me on using it. Its free, I know. Still not using it.

Project Manager - Loading Time
I think I mentioned the following issue before on the forum, but it's driving me nuts and I just want to know if can get some updates.
"Here is the deal"
1) You set up your scan path for the Project Manager and let it index all the relevant files
2) Project Manager writes the index data to the "~/Library/Preferences/Logic/PM Data/LogicProject7" file. The more files you index, the bigger the "LogicProject7" file.
3) Logic also writes an invisible file called "Logic 7 Database" to the root level of all network volumes it is indexing
3) When you start Project Manager, it seems to read those files and updates them when you work in Logic.
"Here is my problem"
I have a fairly big amount of data siting on an XserveRAID (Logic Songs, Loops, EXS, Audio files, ...). I don't know the exact size, because I exclude some of the nested directories and try to index only the relevant files. I guess the total is getting close to 1TB.
The Project Managers index file "LogicProject7" is now 127 MB and the launch time just for the Project Manager is 7 minutes . That makes it impossible to use the "start Project Manager at startup" feature. As we all know, Logic still crashes once in a while and adding the 7 minutes to the already long launch time (reading the EXS instruments), I would end up with close to 15 minutes launch time.
I don't understand where the bottleneck is. The progression bars of the Project Manager during startup (building tress, etc) are crawling like a snail despite a G5 dual 2.5GHz and a Gigabit connection to the Server that is connected with a dual Fibre Channel to the RAID.
The Activity Monitor shows Logic with a 30% CPU utilization and the network shows the activity with 60kB receiving and 30kB sending which is more or less constant during the startup process. Is the reason for that, because Logic is not optimized to use the full bandwidth and CPU power.
"Here is my question"
1) Does anybody have more insight into the Project Manager's functionality in regards to speed.
2) Can you post your reference: "LogicProject7" file size vs Project Manager startup time
ThanksFirst of all - iSchwartz - you are not only okay, but also one of the most friendly and in depth advisers here on many subjects.
Now stop biting your nails - please! What are you gonna do with all that excess calcium?
You are indeed blissfully unaware of the benefits of this often overlooked PM thing (TG it's not a PMS thing...). If you are happy with EXS loading times, are never asked for multiple choices regarding the location of a sample, and your system runs stable, then don't change anything.
Es wird Dich nicht eines Tages in den A.... beissen!
Check your EXS loading times. Mine improved dramatically. Admittingly I have to confess, that my PM is overseeing, tracking and updating a little less then Edgar's, about 800 GB.
P.S.: Would you mind posting a picture of you in the newbie beanie? -
I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.
Here is the crash report:

The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

Can a BIG form be served up one page at a time to avoid long load time?
Tricks I have read for optimizing the load time of large forms are not helping. Linearization causes the first page to render quickly, but you can't interact with the fields until the whole form finishes loading -- no help there. Is there a way to break the form into pages (without creating entirely separate forms) so the user can fill out a page, hit a Next Page button, fill out that page, etc.? Understood that this is an old school idea, but until Reader can download a 1+ MB form in less time than it takes an average user to get ticked off, old school might do the trick.
Alternatively, is there a way to construct a form so you can start interacting with it without having to wait for it all to load? This question comes from the (uninformed) assumption that maybe there are forward references that can't be satisfied until all the bits have come over the wire. If that's right, can a multipage form be architected so as to avoid this problem?No that technology does not exist yet. There are form level events that need to have the entire document there before they can fire. Also you would have to keep track of where you are so that would mean some sort of session information for each user.

TomBud, I know the corners look bad on a few shots. Believe me, I was kicking myself when I looked at the video for not being more careful. I tried putting in a matte in the corners, like little triangle pieces, but I think it detracted from the video more than the blemishes. -
Hello, I own a T420i and have been experiencing very slow load times on startup. The "ThinkPad" BIOS screen stays active for roughly 5-10min before continuing like normal. Once operational the computer works fine other then an occasional freeze up (which becomes extremely annoying with a boot time of 10 min).
Thanks for any suggestions.Hi Epitome, welcome to the forums,
do you have any external devices, especiall USB storage, attached to the system when booting? If so please detach them to see if you experience the same problem.
If the system boots normally please exclude the USB devices from the boot order in BIOS; the system may be scanning them for boot information before moving on to start from the main hard drive.

Improving load times in Linux LabVIEW executable
I'm looking for (simple) ways to improve the loading times in a Linux LabVIEW executable. We're using a low performance, low cost CPU board, and loading times are terrible. The CPU is capable of doing everything after the application is loaded, but takes forever to get there.
One of the problems is the size of the executable, that grows everytime you just look at it. Are there ways to create smaller executables? It runs from a Compact Flash card, which is ofcourse much slower than hard disk.
Another problem is a dynamic vi, that is started for every TCP connection that connects to the application. It takes a long time to load, and connecting too fast can even effectively hang up the system. Starting a handler task takes about half a second, up to a few seconds for the first task.

I'm
not sure about the first part of your question. LabVIEW is highly
binary and does a lot of memory allocations before even one VI is ready
to be started. So maybe the memory manager is a problem. Another issue
is that the Macintosh like resource file format that is used by LabVIEW to store its VIs etc. results in
lots and lots of individual disk accesses with a rther random like
character inside a single file. So if you can configure the read
caching of your disk to use more memory this may significantly increase
the speed of loading LabVIEW VIs or applications.
And finally spawning VIs through VI server is a rather costly operation
especially on low resoruce systems. A VI is more like an executable in
many ways as far as resource consumption is concerned rather than a
thread. A much better way would be to avoid spawning subVIs altogether
and implement a queued TCP/IP server similar to the Date Time Server
example. It is a little extra work to work with this shift register
architecture but it will not have the issues of long load times for
every new TCP/IP connection coming in.

Hi there -
Is there a good way to improve load times for my pages that have Edge animation? I have a very simple slide show set up, and even with the Preloader script, it's taking many seconds to load the page. Any thoughts?
Thanks!Hi Amy,
Did you try the suggestions in this article?

Long load times and poor application performance
We have packaged and deployed Adobe CC using SCCM within my school division. It pushed out fine, but now when we attempt to open Photoshop (or any other CC app) it has unusually long load times. 2-4 minutes. It seems to be hanging at the "Reading preferences" stage. After the application appears to have started, it takes an unusually long time to actually start working in the application (it appears to just hang).
Hello There,
EXE's always bundle additional files because it is a stand-alone entity. And, if the size 9GB then it will surely take time to load all the files. I'll check with the team again on how we can optimize it. BTW, are the videos inserted as slide video or Event video?
Thanks,

is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!
I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through. -
Dvrcast load times - is HDS a solution?
We are streaming H.264 video to the dvrcast application using RTMP streaming. Everything is working fine, though we are noticing some unacceptable load times when loading large videos for playback that have been recorded this way. I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/3399973#3399973 which offers some suggestions. I will be looking into post-processing the video to defragment it, but I'm also interested in HDS. Is it possible to use HDS with dvrcast streams that were recorded to mp4 via RTMP streaming? I tried the HDS URL convention - http://server/dvrcast_origin/stream_name.f4m but this isn't working. Are there other suggestions for improving load times for long videos with the dvrcast application?
Additionally, I can't seem to get the F4V post processor to work with these files. It is throwing an error "cannot open file" and the -v flag adds no helpful output.
