Ultra slow project load time

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and can point me to the solution.
After capturing 40+ hours of footage in a new project (log and capture only), every time I try to load the project it's a 10-minute affair.
I'm wondering if I'm low on memory (see 3GB and other specs below) or if it's my Firewire 800 LaCie drive. All the clips are either HDV or DV (NTSC), so nothing out of the ordinary.
If I need more memory, I'll get it. Just want to identify the problem and not throw money at random solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

Well...I broke. After waiting 20 minutes for the project to load up (for about the 25th time), only to do 'spinning beachball' every time I try to work with the project, I've decided to start the capture over again Hello, 40 hours of re-do capture time.
This time, all project files and media will be captured/stored on my CalDigit S2VR Duo drive (thanks Shane for the nice review and why I went this direction instead of G-Tech). Hopefully, this problem won't rear it's ugly head again on the new striped RAID drive.
I can only assume that it's one of two things: (1) I had some bad media in the whole mess and it's freezing the system when trying to access the project and relink video clips/files or (2) maybe the LaCie drive is on it's last leg. I don't know, but in the long run, it may take just as long (with the frozen state of the project) to figure it out as it will to recapture.
I will post back with an update once I've reached the 'old' video capture point on the new project file (on the new drive).
And before someone asks, the Media Manager was working just as slowly as the loading of the project, making it impossible to try and re-capture the project onto the new drive through FCP.

How to reduce project load time?

I am currently working on a large project (25+ Mb, thousands of vis) with something on the order of 100 classes. Opening the project is painfully slow. It usually takes 7-8 minutes. I'd like to figure out a way to reduce the load time.
What is LV's behavior regarding loading project file vis and libraries (lvlib, lvclass, etc.)?
Are all items in the project automatically loaded when the project is opened?
Are items not in the project but used as sub-vis automatically loaded?
Are dynamically linked items not included in the project automatically opened? (I imagine not.)
Are dynamically linked items that are included in the project automatically opened?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
I have talked to multiple people about your issue and we honestly believe that you you are experiencing is expected behavior based on the size of the project and number of VIs used. Creating a new project will sometimes help when a project file has a corruption within it. Since you are experiencing the same behavior on multiple computers, any difference in load time will be a function of the speed, RAM, etc. of that particular computer as compared to your machine. In saying that the files are technically loaded, I am saying that their locations are known so that when they are called, they can be loaded into memory as needed. It does not have to load any portion of the VI other than the location on disk. I would not expect either of those methods to reduce your project load time. Switching to dynamic linking only changes the order in which LabVIEW searches for the files. As I stated before, files added to the project are defined by the name and location on the disk. You can think of the project file as an XML file with different pieces of information about the files. If the file cannot be found, it will try to dynamically link the files by searching for them on the disk. When this happens, it goes through a seris of locations where the files might be located. When the project is loaded, it looks for the files that are listed in the project file first. I hope this helps.

Slow page loading / Time outs

Hi guys,
I am getting very slow page loading times. This only started to happen today, before this my connection has been solid.
I have reset the router, all the other PCs in my house are having the same problem. I am not running any P2P/Downloading software.
Speedtest says I am connected at 12MBPs. It takes me a very long time to load a page and most of the time they just time out.
Router stats -
ADSL settings

Flip4Mac Beta, Slow WMV load time?

Just wondering if anyone else who is using Flip4Mac Beta Universal is experiencing slow load time when loading a WMV movie file. I loaded a 1920x1200 606MB video file and that might be why. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing slow WMV load time.

Like you I've noticed that when working with larger media files it'll slow down loading and other aspects. Especially moving through said files by fast forward/reverse.
I wouldn't exactly call it too bad though. QT native files get slowed down the larger they are too.
Don't forget it's still a Beta.

One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

Slow initial load time - URGENT

I created some business component forms in jdeveloper 3.2.3. For some reason, it takes 15 seconds to load any of the forms for the first time (afterwards, it only takes 2 seconds). I get the same timings regardless of the number of rowsets I use.
It takes 15 secs for a screen with 1 rowset and for a screen with 5 rowsets. It also is slow running in jdeveloper and in production.
That is unacceptable for my end users (they are ready to reject the project because of it).
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs (which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation.
Is there any way to speed up the initial load?
TIA.

If this is a wizard generated form, was there any modification made ?. The jbInit
code by default sets up the InfoProducer objects. The ApplicationModule is then
created and queries executed when the publisSession method is called on the SessionInfo
object. This publishSession by default happens after the jbInit code. I would imagine
the publishSession method to take more time in comparision to jbInit code which
typically instantiates the UI elements and creates your form. Is there any other
setup that happens in jbinit ?.
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs
(which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation. Could you provide more info., on what you mean by navigation ?. Is is the setup of
the navigation bar and menu you are referring to ?.

Slow BIOS load times

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.

Abnormally Long HDV Project Load Time with CS3

I have a relatively small HDV project, about 30 clips captured with HDVSplit. I find that after the CS3 splash screen goes by and while the project loading progress panel is displayed it takes about 2.5 minutes for the project work space to appear. Everything seems to work fine once the work space is displayed re: CS3 editing functionality.
Has anyone else run into this slow loading problem? Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? The clips are relatively short and the entire sequence on the timeline is less than 15 min.

For Pete's Sake man!
I am new here and there seems to be a few guys that have their heads so far up Adobe's *** that you do not see what you are saying.
I understand Howards frustration.
You people think that everyone must go out and buy All of Adobe's Products. To assume any person must be forced to buy a program they do not want or cannot afford is plain rude and obnoxious.
We are not all professionals like some of you, some of do actually shoot weddings, like myself. Why the heck must I buy more programs than I need (although I won After Effects Already)!!?? If you are all so professional why are you on these forums instead of making features in Hollywood? Dammit I get so upset by some people.
You leave people hating Adobe and their products. I have been reading this forum for about a day now and there is a common pattern. A guy will have a problem, 2 people will complain that he posts on the forums, 3 people will tell him to get rid of his camera, 4 will say buy After Effects or go buy this plugin. It is ridiculous! You are people are insane.
Final Cut Studio is by far a better option, you buy it and it works straight out of the box, no plugins no go buy another application. I am not an Apple supporter is hater, it seems that everyday I struggle with Adobe is one day I consider moving my business to Apple and Final Cut.
Premiere Elements is for kids. I wanted a professional editng program that was able to do it all in one, Adobe seemed to offer this.
Let us think about for a minute lads. It is either PC or Mac, Mac has good points but the initial investment is quite large so let us put it aside for now. PC. What editing software is there for PC. Sony Vegas, Premiere, AVID, Edius, Avid Liquid/Pinnacle, Ulead, Movie Maker, Power Director/Producer, and various others. So what do you chose....
Vegas, just does not have it all you know
Avid Liquid, again it's a bit for beginners
Avid, wow too bg for the guy starting out,
Premiere, the best pick of the bunch,
the rest are for kids and real amateurs.
Buw wait Premiere cannot function on it's own, it needs a plugin to this and a plugin to do that, it forever needs plugins. The only thing it is good for is just SD. I want to edit HD or HDV in Premiere I must go buy Cineform, what a load of crap. I want to do basic little effects,go buy After Effects, I want to colour Grade, go buy this or that plugin.
The cost of Premiere is fairly good, but before you can use it you need to buy After Effects (for effects simple and advanced), Photoshop (for titles), Cineform (well to edit anything actually and to support formats and proper 1920 x 1080 HD 4:4:4 uncompressed), and add that all up and it costs a shitload.
So that leads us back to Final Cut Pro where it all makes sense. You buy one G5, and one Final Cut Studio and it gets the job done all in one wonder. NOBODY OUT THERE CAN ARGUE WITH THE BENEFIT OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Now this entire post was pointless since I know everyone out there could not wait to get to the end just they could quote me and argue. You reading this did not even bother to see it from an objective point of view, I know for a fact. Whilst reading you were not listening. So this post was pointless, because nobody will STILL get it.
Disgruntled Adobe End user. I am returning CS3 back to Adobe for a refund.

J2SE 5.0 plugin and slow applet load time

Folks,
I have an applet (https), with about 5 MB of jar files. After we
moved to J2SE 5.0, the load time seems much slower. It used to load in
40 seconds. Now it loads in 4 min.
An odd thing I noticed is when I minimize my Internet Explorer window,
the applet seems to start up quickly again.
Is this possibly related to the "starburst logo" progress bar
animation that Sun now uses for applet start ups? I know that
animated gifs can sometimes chew up quite a bit of cpu time.
I think the progressbar property is no longer in 5.0
I'm running on a single proc laptop. When I run it on my 2 proc
server, it is not as obvious, and startup time seems reasonable.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm also seeing a similar slow applet startup time. CPU is 100% (IE is in high 90s). Works ok on my 3GHz P4, but is very slow (up to 16 minutes) on 400 MHz P2.
My problem seems to be related to how my .properties files (23 total, for internationalization support) are handled.
During start-up in JRE 1.5 I see the following for each .properties file:

The file (1 of 23) I supply is named fax.properties (the default file). Since my locale setting are English/US I guess the I18N code is trying to figure out if the regional files are present. Each of these requests is timing out 5-8 seconds for each - it builds up quickly.
I haven't been able to find out why this is happening or resolve the issue. I'm close to restricting my applet to only 1.4.2 as that was fine and posting this as a bug.

Broadband + Slow Safari Load Time speed tweek

Give this a go to see if it improves your slow loading Safari.
* QUIT Safari before typing these commands into terminal
To add this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.001
To remove this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 1.0
Launch Safari again and give it a go. If not helpful, quit and enter the last line given above to remove the behaviour.

Slow image load time in web browsers. My images load too slowly.

Hi, My images are loading slowly in my site. They are png and all under 600kb. Should they be jpegs (they are photos) Can anyone advise?

I would do a few tests, I think you might be fine with the High setting, but also try a little lower if you can to conserve load time. It would be good to get your files to around 120kb each.
A .jpeg file is the way to go, as .png files tend to be 20-40% larger.
Here is an image that is set to 730x486- saved as Medium - Quality 50 - jpeg - final size 99 kb

Slow song load times

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,
John

Slow website loading time.

ok here's the problem, some websites for me take a really long time for me to load for some reason such as roosterteeth or at times myspace, when i try to load them up on firefox it says that it's loading 'google-analytics' and some other crap like that and it takes forever! and i just tried loading them on my mom's computer and they load near instantaneously so i was wondering what the **** is wrong with my machine?! and i would be very grateful if anyone could help me.

Try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Project Loading Times in P6

Hello,
When I load a project in P6, it is taking over 30 minutes or more to actually load the project and get it open. I have tried many solutions, including prim49750 from the KnowledgeBase. Has anyone else experienced such a problem?
Please advise. Thanks!

A few more questions that came to mind:
-Are you using Compression Server?
-If only one project is plagued by this slowness was this imported from somewhere or created directly in P6.2.1?
-Has this always been an issue or did it come about suddenly?
Some things I would take a look at if you have not already (in no particular order).
-Latency to the database server. (Ping it's IP address).
-Run ValSchema against your P621 DB to check for any inconsistencies.
-If the slowness is unique to this one project you may also try running Check Project Integrity in the application.
-Establish a connection via the client then on the DB Server open Management Studio, right-click the P621 DB, left-click properties and check the Status. I suggest this as I experienced an extreme slowness with a users local database once and eventually found that MS SQL Server saw errors on the DB and was attempting to repair it. In my case there was no production data so rather than wait for it to complete I simply dropped the DB and re-created it.
-Monitor the CPU/Memory usage on the DB Server when attempting to open this project. Are there free resources on the server or are you at %100 utilization when attempting to open this project from a client?
-Monitor the CPU/Memory usage on a client when you attempt to open this project. Are there free resources on the client or are you at %100 utilization?

Slow project load

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience of RoboHelp HTML taking an
excessive length of time (over half an hour) to load a project? I
have a colleague who has a project of similar size that takes a
couple of minutes to load. Is there any way to identify the cause?
Thanks,

How big is the .cpd file?
If it is large, take a back up of the project file, delete
the .cpd file and try opening the project via the .xpj file. You
may see a significant reduction in the .cpd which can get a bit
bloated.
Kind Regards
Craig
