Suddenly Slow Performance

My powerbook G4, which I bought three months ago, has worked very well until the last two weeks. First, I think it had a bizarre overheating problem which caused it to randomly fall asleep, only to be woken by removing and then replacing the battery and the power supply. After reading about many other users with such problems, I seem to have solved it by elevating it off my desk enabling more air flow around the bottom of the computer. Now, however, I have a new problem. Yesterday everything was running smoothly, but today when I use it, even for the simplest tasks, the performance is dreadfully slow. It is literally running about 1/5 the speed it was yesterday. I have 1.5 G of memory, all of which shows up, and in the activity monitor my idle CPU usage is always 0. Any ideas?

download macjanitor and run tasks daily, weekly, or all, it's up to you. This may or may not improve system performance.

Sudden extreme slow performance

I have run Tiger on this machine for about 6 months with no problems. In the last few weeks everything has started slowing down noticably. The hard disk is running ragged, constantly reading/writing, from looking at the cpu monitor it seems like the computer is not actually using it's ram and is just reading and writing. I tried clearing caches and that worked for a few hours but the machine now seems to lock up after a few hours use. I get to the point where i cannot open menus, switch programs, or even force quit or restart. Everything locks up - spinning beachball - and the hard disk is left constantly writing. I have 9 -15Gb free out of 40Gb on the disk - i assume this is enough. Playing music and safari is no problem. But I am using iphoto and photoshop as well as other programs in the background. This was never previously a problem and ran smoothly. I know it's fairly vague but if anyone can help..

Hi, Ben.
Thanks. However, it would help to see some of the specific data points from the instructions in those FAQs. Specifically:
1. You wrote: "(the pageins/outs are about equal) but i'm getting REALLY slow performance across the board. "It still sounds like it is "thrashing."1.1. Did you check the pagesin/pageouts per second as described in my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ? The per-second values can only be found using top as described therein.
1.2. Did you check for a runaway process in Activity Monitor per the "Troubleshooting" section in my "Tuning Mac OS X Performance" FAQ?.
The activity you describe (beach ball, heavy disk writing) has to be coming from somewhere, so checking Activity Monitor as I describe in that FAQ should tell you. Find the process consuming the most %CPU as instructed in the FAQ. Post back the result, i.e. the process name.2. You wrote: "It seems to lock itself up with the hard disk clicking and crunching. Is it possible the hard disk is giving up and so is writing at a very slow speed??? "To check this, see my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ:2.1. Perform at least Steps 1-3 of the Procedure section therein in the order specified.
2.2. Also, review the section therein on "Bad Sectors" to see if the "clicking and crunching" sounds you are hearing are similar to those that generally indicate bad sectors.3. If the disk checks out OK per point 2 above, and depending on what you find in point 1.2 above, the process may be an errant Startup or Login Item. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
Good luck!

CS5 or Pc Slow performance?

Hi there,I have a problem with my pc at work and because I am not quite sure in which one is exactly the problem I decide to ask you.The pc is intel pentium 4 with 3 Gb Ram XP professional service pack 3 Photoshop CS 5.
The pc is connected to server(data base).When I open a bunch of photos (20-30) approximately 8 - 12 MB each one and sometimes I experience a slow performance(for example I am trying to retouch/clone something and it takes a lot of time for the pc to redraw/respond) the interesting part is that it doesn't happen always(sometimes can be even 3 photos and it will take ages to do something) also I notice that after appr. 20 minutes it's suddenly start to work as it should normally(it's like there was an update and when is updated/complete everything is fine).When that start to happen today I restart CS5 and load the same photos and it work fine, so it is really bizarre for me.I put a 89% ram usage to the CS5(I pretty much use only all the time Photoshop and bridge ) also made the history steps to 7 and the cache to 6 for big and flat files.I was checking the Efficiency and it's all the time 100 % so it's like it's not the photoshop but like I said today i just restard the ps and upload the same photos and got fix...I tried to copy the photos on my hard drive(so it should not be affect of the performance of the server but still the same as when I take them straight from the server.Because the hard drive is only 80 gb ( I don't store anything there ) i did clean up and disk defragment still the same situation.Do you know what can be the problem and is it the Photoshop or the Pc?I'll appreciate it.
Thank you

Could be that your PC is sometimes looking to check things on the server, and maybe the server or network is busy/bogged down and you PC gets caught in that cycle mess.....so,
suggest next time you use Ps, set win performance monitor perfmon.exe or perfmon.msc ; setup to view graph of disk use and network activity and cpu usage.....then you may see/track a problem area.
on win7, task manager does most of the same stuff

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.

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.

Bug report: Energy Manager causes slow performance...

Very slow Windows Startup..
Energy Manager's plans and the problem occured using any plan as I remember, and it wasn't an issue with the maximum processor state. I had heavy disk usage, especially access to the Page File, which is what the person in the second link I posted also described. CPU usage was low. The disk usage was seemingly not related to Energy Manager (Chrome was usually the worst), but removing Energy Manager completely resolved the problem. If you would find it helpful. I'm quite confident that even with Maximum Processor state at %100, CPU usage was low when it was slow, and that disk access was the culprit.
previously have use 1.0.0.31 or 32 not sure.
Windows 8.1
Im using Lenovo Energy Management Driver
1.0.0.28
4.6.2014

I actually have the same problem. Sorry to work on a old thread, but...
I've got my Lenovo B50-70 less than 1 month ago, and had switched it to SSD and had set everything up and is working perfectly. However there are a bunch of lenovo programs that came pre-installed. This computer is used mainly for work and I really don't like programs that suddenly pop-up and ask you to do stuff, as it is quite distracting, and with Lenovo Energy Manager being one of them so I removed it. (I did do some research before I remove...)
Everything was fine, until when I try to switch on my wifi (I usually have it off, as I use LAN most of the time)... For the B50-70 there is a airplane button on F7, which allow the user to switch wifi and bluetooth on/off. That button was unresponsive... After some digging it is actually related to the power energy manager being removed. So I've downloaded the latest version from Lenovo and it was working again...
However though, whenever I start my computer it is taking so long to start... And I tried uninstalling the power energy manager and it solved the problem... And I am stuck with either having no wifi on/off ability or a really slow boot, which loses the whole purpose of the SSD. After you enter your username and password it originally takes around 5~10 seconds to login, now it takes over 1 minute.
I have found this other link, which says Lenovo Power Manager having the same problem.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Bug-report-Power-Manager-causes-slow-performa...
There is a solution, which you can change the registry to switch a function off. I've tried it and it didn't work, which is not surprising as it's a different program.. But I am hoping that Lenovo can provide a similar solution for Lenovo Energy Manager...

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!

One - your project must match your video... if you have a red line over the timeline immediately after importing the video, your project is wrong

Constant freeze and slow performance when wake up

hi,
my laptop freezes all the time like when i play music for long time especially when norton performs a background check.
also when i open it and it was on sleep it becomes very slow when i open chrom, or play a movie.
alot of time sudden stop of the cruser and very slow performance that it can't even opens the my computer.
I always have to restart the windows.

First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

Slow performance of discoverer portlets

Hi,
I am running into slow performance of a particular page in portal, there are multiple sites hosted on the portal but these all have static text and are very quick to load but the one page with discoverer portlets and a web-clippping portlet is taking ages. If I run these reports on their own they are instant. Has anyone had similar problems with 9.0.2 portal and the discoverer reports ? I tried to identify a particular report that may be the culprit by deleting them one by one and to no avail. After a few hours effort I found the design mode was hanging as well. Again, just for this 1 page.
There are 3 tabs on this page with about 4 report portlets and 1 web-clipping portlet.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

Thanks for the help.
Seems to have been resolved although I'm not sure if thats the end of the story. Will wait and see.....
So far apparently a port conflict of some sort in the discoverer config was causing it to hang and then also other system demands on the network and server housing the discoverer end-user layer were also causing problems.
No error messages unfortunately......

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

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.

If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Why has my hp deskjet 2050 printer and scanner suddenly slowed down and printing one line at a time

why has my hp deskjet 2050 printer and scanner suddenly slowed down and printing one line at a time

This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.

Slow Performance - Java Related?

This is an old box that I bought used recently, but the system install is recent. The system performs very slowly - about 50% of the speed of comparable Mac's in the XBench database. If I use Xupport to manully run "All" of the system maintenance crons I get some improvement, but it quickly goes back to being slow.
Looking at my logs I have a "boat load" of Java errors under CrashReporter; there will be a string of "JavaNativeCrash_pidXXX.log" entries - many of them, as follows:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : Bus Error occurred at PC=0x908611EC
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.
Many of the line entries that follow, but not all of them, refer to SargentD2OL, which is a Java app, which I installed, but it did not work properly so I removed it. Yet I continue to get Java errors that refer to this now non-existant app.
I have read that Java apps use a lot of resources, and that D2OL in particular uses a lot of resources. Can my slow performance problem be Java related? If so, any idea of how I can fix this problem?

Sorry to take so long to respond, but other issues in life have demanded my attention.
None of the solutions given have had any affect. My Java folder has both a 1.3.1 and a 1.4.2 app - the Java Update 2 will not reinstall because it sees an up-to-date app in the folder. But reading the update file it says the older Java will be removed - but it is still there. Problem?
On XBench the system scores a 9 to 10, while similar boxes on the XBench database score around 18 to 20. My cpu, memory, and video scores are very low. The HD through-put scores are the only ones that are normal. TechTool Pro 4 finds no problems. I have removed the memory sticks one at a time and retested after each cycle - no difference.
I have two drives, each with a 10.3.9 install. One works fine, scores around a 17 on XBench, the other scores a 9 to 10. So it appears to be a software problem. The slower install is a drive from a iMac G3 that has been moved to the G4 - are there issues with this?
My favored drive is the prior G3 one (newer and faster than the other drive that system tests faster in XBench) - it has my profile and all my info on it. It worked fine in the G3 - no problems.
Thanks for the help,
