Very poor CPU and GPU performance when disconnected from AC

I've been looking for a similar topic here but after a while I didn't find anything similar.
I know when the Macbook Pro is running just with the battery the performance and speed is lower than plugged to the AC, but in my case the difference is ridiculous. I can't use the Macbook Pro unplugged to do my work with apps like InDesign and Illustrator and I have a lot of trouble viewing mid to hi res videos.
I've been running Xbench tests and when the AC is plugged, my results are:

The difference between the CPU test is like 60% lower performance and in the Quartz and OpenGL tests are like 70% lower performance!
I think something is wrong here, is it normal?

If you remove the battery and only run on MagSafe power then it will only use one CPU and you'd see a major drop in performance, but you're seeing this result with no power and battery only it's very strange.

    Hi rhaughan,
    I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

  • ZBook 17 g2 - poor DPC Latency performance when running from z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD

    I'm setting up a new zBook 17 g2 and am getting very poor DPC latency performance (> 6000 us) when running from the PCIe SSD. I've re-installed the OS (Win 7 64 bit) on both the PCIe SSD and a SATA HDD and the DPC latency performance is fine when running from the HDD (50 - 100 us) but horrible when running from the PCIe SSD (> 6000 us).  I've updated the BIOS and tried every combination of driver and component enabling/disabling I can think of.  The DPC latency is extremely high from the initial Windows install with no drivers installed.  Adding drivers seems to have no effect on the DPC latency. Before purchasing the laptop I found this review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-ZBook-17-E9X11AA-ABA-Workstation.106222.0.html where the DPC latency measurement (middle of the page) looks OK.  Of course, this is the prior version of the laptop and I believe it does not have the PCIe SSD.  Combining that with the fact that I get fine performance when running from the HDD I am led to believe that the PCIe SSD is the cause of the problem. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?  As it stands right now my zBook is not usable for digital audio work when running from the PCIe SSD.  But it cost me a lot of money so I'd sure like to use it...! Thanks, rgames

    Hi mooktank, No solution yet but, as of about six weeks ago, HP at least acknowledged that it's a problem (finally).  I reproduced it perfectly on another zBook 17 g2 and another PCIe SSD in the same laptop and HP was able to reproduce the problem as well.  So the problem is clearly in the BIOS or with some driver related to the PCIe SSD.  It could also be with the firmware in the drive, itself, but I can't find any other PCIe drives in the 60 mm form factor.  So there's no way to see if a differnt type of drive would fix the problem. My suspicion is that it's related to the PCIe sleep states - those are known to cause exactly these types of problems because the drive takes quick "naps" to save power and there's a delay when it is told to wake back up.  That delay causes a delay in the audio buffer that results in pops/crackles/stutters that would never be noticed doing other tasks like video editing or CAD work .  So it's a problem specific to folks who need low-latency audio performance (very few apps require low latency audio - video editing, for example, uses huge buffers with relatively high latency).  A lot of desktops offer a BIOS option to disable those sleep states but no such option exists in HP's BIOS for that laptop.  In theory you can do it from within Windows but it doesn't have an effect on my system.  That might be one of those options that Windows allows you to change but that actually has no effect. One workaround is to disable CPU throttling.  That makes the CPU run at full speed all the time and, I believe, also disables the PCIe and other sleep states.  When I disable CPU throttling, DPC latency goes back to normal.  However, the CPU is then running full-speed all the time so your battery life basically goes to nothing and the laptop gets *very* hot. Clearly that is not necessary because the laptop runs fine from the SATA SSD.  HP needs to fix the latency problem associated with the PCIe drive. The next logical step is to provide a BIOS update that provides a way to disable the PCIe sleep states without disabling CPU throttling, like on many desktop systems.  The bad news is that HP tech support is not very technical, so it takes forever for them to figure out what I'm talking about.  It took a couple months for them to start using the DPC Latency checker. Hopefully there will be a fix at some point... in the meantime, I hope that HP sends me a check for spending so much time educating their techs on how computers work.  And for countless hours lost re-installing different OSes only to show that the performance is exactly the same as shown in the DPC Latency checker. rgames

  • NB205 - very poor product and service, do not buy Toshiba!! Completely dead in 6 months

    I am posting this to warn as many people as possible to avoid buying Toshiba in the future.  Not only was the product faulty, which I can understand sometimes happens w mass production.  But the service was completely unacceptable, which was the deciding factor for me.
    1.  My new Netbook NB-205/BL started intermittently shutting down for no reason (complete black screen, not even to blue screen).  By the time I returned home from my trip it had stopped working altogether.  The power light will come on, and the fan/hard disk will try to spin for a split second and then go silent and stop completely.
    2.  Upon calling tech support who walked me through a bunch of diagnostic attempts (removing and re-inserting battery, etc.), they concluded it was dead and I needed to send it in.
    3.  The only thing I really care about is my data as I had stored a bunch of invaluable photos and downloaded about $200 worth of Amazon MP3s since receiving the Toshiba NB205.
    4.  Tech support assured me they would back up the hard drive for me and ship either a fixed or new computer with all my data still intact.  They asked me to register it w their warranty department and call them back so they could send me a shipping box to send it back in.  I did all that and it's been >3 weeks and no box.
    5.  So today I called Tech Support again and the guy goes "Oh yes, you have shipped your computer in for a hard drive failure?".  At which point I had to explain how A) it's not a hard drive failure B) I haven't shipped anything anywhere because I never got the box I was promised.
    6.  Then I proceed to ask him again if my data would be safe, to which he informs me it's Toshiba policy/practice not to back up data for customers.  I found this to be unacceptable and then I didn't know who to trust so I asked for a supervisor.
    7.  This supervisor wasn't able to help me either as he further informed me that they will not back anything up for me AND that I had to pay for shipping AND pay an authorized Toshiba Repair Center to back my hard drive up.
    8.  I suggested what everyone who I've talked to has said:  Toshiba could send me a new computer since they've diagnosed the old one as being dead.  I could swap out the hard drives, or they could send me one without a hard drive.  And I could send them back the dead NB205.
    9.  NO was the answer.  Toshiba wouldn't do anything for me, because software issues are NOT under warranty.  And backing up my hard drive is considered to be a software issue.  I repeatedly told him that it's their defective hardware that is causing the need for data backup.  But this went ignored and I was told they don't cover anything in this case.
    I either had to lose my data or pay probably $100 for a Toshiba dealer to back up my data for me.  Oh yeah, and there isn't one of those within 20 miles of me and I live in Silicon Valley!!  Oh yes, and they want me to pay to ship them the dead computer.
    10.  I finally asked him how he would feel if he was the customer, and if he felt this was any way to treat Toshiba customers.  He replied by saying they have a process, and this is the process!
    Well the next time I and any of you are in our "process" of deciding which brand of technology to buy, I'm certainly not going to consider Toshiba anymore.  This is the second chance I'm giving Toshiba after having a very poor laptop AND service experience in 2000.  Well, it took me 9 years to give them another shot, and I'm never going to trust them again.  I told myself "well, it's a high quality Japanese brand, one that commands a premium in price that people are willing to pay so it should be an excellent product.  AND if things do go pooryly, Toshiba will stand behind their name."
    I was SO wrong!!!  Let this be a message to all people out there, as I did read these forums before buying my product, but the NB205 was so new it didn't have many posts.
    Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me!  I'm done with you Toshiba, it's really too bad that you will not honor your brand with fair treatment of your customers.
    Ming Wu

    It isn't that difficult to back up the data from the hard drive.  You can easily do it yourself for about $20.  http://www.datarecoverytutorial.com/recover-data-from-failed-laptop-notebook/
    As for Toshiba backing up your data, ALL of the manufacturer's have that same policy.  NONE of them will backup the data for you nor will they guarantee that your system will be returned with the existing data intact.  This is spelled out in the Warranty documents and is fairly common knowledge amongst most computer users. 
    If the data was that important you should have been backing it up to USB flash drives, a usb external hard drive, or some other backup device on a daily basis just for this very reason.  The fact that you failed to do so doesn't make it Toshiba's problem.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

    I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

    Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
    If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
    Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

    Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
    Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only?  I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
    On the list above...
    Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
    This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
    1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
    2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
    3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
    4) Hit SAVE.
    5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
    6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
    7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
    Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
    Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
    Sigh.

  • Apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. why is this?

    Firstly, I really like the new reminders in iOS 7. However, I noticed that apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
    why is this? am i doing something from?

    unfortunately, that does not address my question. your link describes how to clear the missed section of center.  I know how to clear the missed section of notification center, as I said in the original question. I will re-peat my question to clarify. it is:
    apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center. 
    why is this? am i doing something wrong?
    the behavior I would expect would be that when i click the circle on the "today" view. it would clear it out from the missed and all view so i would not have to clear in 2 areas.
    I Hope this clarifies...

  • Poor Lightroom 4.4 performance when laptop connected to an external monitor

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently purchased an external monitor JUST to be able to edit my photos at a higher resolution (1920*1080). However, Lightroom performance is extremely bad and the sliders and crop tool are all laggy when I just connect the monitor that I have bought . Doing the same task on my laptop monitor takes much less time and runs perfectly smooth (the resolution of the laptop is 1366*768).
    Is this an issue with Lightroom 4.4 or is it my because my laptop is not fast enough?
    Here is some more information about my system specs:
    The Lightroom version is 4.4 and I have a laptop with 8 GB ram, a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU, the GPU is Radeon HD 5650.
    My OS is Windows 7 64 bit and the connection to the monitor is via a VGA cable
    I just want to use the external monitor (single display) so I use it as a projector and I do not extend the displays. I just wanted to edit my photos with a higher resolution monitor so that I see the editing flaws in them more easily.
    Please help me if you know how to deal with this because otherwise I have to return the monitor because it's of no use.

    The higher resolution is pushing you to the next higher rendering resolution.  If you are in Develop and set zoom position to 1:4 or 1:8 it should speed back up (each level is 4 times as fast as tge previous).

  • SESSION EXPIRED and CPU Utilisation is 100% when called from Pro*C

    Dear Colleague
    We are having a production system developed using Pro*c and PL/SOL packages in HP Unix.
    The system is doing the following,
    A file will be decoded using Proc and data will be load into 3 temporary tables (permanent table used for temporary) using SQLLoader. Then it calls a PL/SQL package which will process the data in the temporary tables and will store the summary information in Transaction table and will returns a unique id to the calling Pro*c module. The whole process is completed in a single process/oracle session.
    The PL/SQL package, join the 3 Temporary tables and retrieve the data into an Oracle object(Collection) and process it. Then the processing summary will be loaded into Transaction table and return the Primary key.
    Now the problem is, when the temporary tables are loaded with more than 200,000 rows, in some cases the system is running for hours before it finish. And during the process the session shows as EXPIRED in the database and CPU utilization for the respective ProcessId in Unix is almost 100%. Then after a while the session comes alive and finishes the process.
    And for some other cases, with same row count, the entire process finished in seconds.
    If the same process (PL/SQL package) when run directly using a separate session inside the database(and the temporary tables are still available), rather than calling from Pro*c, it finishes in seconds, where it took hours when called from Pro*c.
    It will be highly appreciated, if anyone let me know, what actually is wrong. whether it is the resource allocation or should there any known problem in calling huge PL/SQL packages from Pro*C.
    we are using Oracle 10g and HP-UX ed42 B.11.31 U System.
    regards
    Sajid

    Dear Colleague
    I just want to rephrase the problem again.
    We have a Pro*C application. This will read the binary file and dump the data in ascii format to a data file. Then, within from the pro*C, 14 Dynamic tables will be created using EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement, each having almost a maximum of 45 columns. Also, created INDEXES to the tables in the same way from Pro*C.
    And Control file will be created as follows
    OPTIONS (SILENT=(FEEDBACK)) UNRECOVERABLE
    LOAD DATA
    INTO TABLE FILENAME_BCI_USED
    FIELDS  TERMINATED BY '|'
    TRAILING NULLCOLSColumns Listed
    Then Sql loader will be called using system commands (from pro*C itself) to loead the data into the table, as follows.
       sprintf(syscommand,"sqlldr %s CONTROL=%s DATA=%s log=%s rows=5000 direct=true", glb_connect_string,ctl_file,data_file, log_file );
       ret_value = system(syscommand);data loaded successfully.
    Then the Pro*C will call a PL/SQL package for processing the data.
    The PL/SQL package, to process the data, dynamically construct the below query and use it for the reference cursor to retrieve data and load into a collection.
    v_sql_query := 'SELECT '|| '/*+ index(b '||p_File_Name ||'_1) index(b '||p_File_Name ||'_2) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_3) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_4) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_5) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_6) index(e '||p_File_Name ||'_7)*/'   || '

    With almost 150K or more rows in BCI_Table & SU_Table each and less than 10 rows in EXCH_Table, the application takes more than 100 minutes to complete the process.
    When we checked the session activity, it is showing the same query for a very long time.
    Where as files with 100K or less rows are getting processed in a minute.
    And the performance for 150K+ rows is inconsistent, that when we isolate the package and run it directly calling from oracle, it is getting executed in less than 4 minutes. Whereas it takes 100+ minutes from Pro*C.

    Hi Arsie,
    Your IP profile is very low, which is the reason for the slow speeds as Im sure you've guessed.  Have you been restarrting, unplugging or resetting your hub in an effort to get the IP profile to increase?  The IP profile will rise when 3-5 days of a solid connection has been achieved, any disconnections will restart this time scale.
    Has your hub been disconnecting at all? And once did it disconnect so low to give you that profile? Unfortunately it takes only 75 minutes for the profile to drop

  • Poor Lightroom 5.7 Performance when using part repair tool

    Hi Lightroom pros,
    I'm using Lightroom 5.7 for about half a year and are very happy with it. Unless I'm working on photos where I have to use the part repairt tool to much.
    I'm specialized in car photograpy and often have to remove dust from the cars paint work and chrome. When I have to work on hughe areas Lightroom becomes slower and slower. I read that the repair tool costs a lot of performance but I'm wondering if I could optimize something or if there is a workaround for that? Because right now its not usable doing one click and waiting 2 minutes...
    I'm using the newest Lightroom 64-bit version on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit Laptop with an internal SSD drive. LR is installed on that drive and the Catalogue also is stored there. I have 70 GB of free space on that drive, my catalogue is around 5 GB, my Camera Raw Cache Size is 20 GB.
    The machine has 16 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 3 GHz Quadcore processor. My RAW files are stored on an external USB 3.0 Drive (not SSD).
    When working on that kind of picutres I usually close as much programms as possible, so that most of the time LR is the only working desktop programm. What seems strange to me is, that even if I'm waiting for minutes for LR to answer, that my processor and RAM are only using about 40% of it's power. The rest seems not to be used by LR?!
    I would be really thankful for tipps or ideas how to improve that issue because right now I'm really wasting a lot of time.
    Kind regards
    Torsten

    I guess this depends on what you are doing, what type of original files you are using, and your own perception of quality. I would believe that in most cases, if you do all the editing in LR except for the spot removal, get the photo to appear the way you want (except for the spot removal), and then lastly move it to PSE and remove the spots, that there isn't really any noticeable loss of quality.
    I must admit I'm not a pro concerning color managment. But I already downloaded the PSE testversion and realized that it is not capable to deal with 16-bit color depth. Wouldn't that be noticeable after the finale spot removal step?
    So, you should tell Adobe this, not me. This is a forum for users (like me) to help other users (like you).
    I know. I just wanted to emphasize why switching to PS wouldn't be the perfect solution for me (even if I'm considering it).
    Thanks so far!

  • CPU and GPU slow down after system upgrade

    Ok, I can't find anything similar to the question I have...but this forum goes on forever  
    As my system specs appear below, my machine was running quite comfortably a week ago, with same setup...minus the acrylic case and second 120GB hard drive.
    At that stage I had "nomal" benchmarking scores 3dmark03 - 5850, Aquamark3 41.000, PC mark 2002 - cpu7020 mem8438 hdd1050.
    Life was good and I loved my system
    Then I decided it would be cool to upgrade to an acrylic case (which has better cooling with 3 fans) and a second 120 GB HDD to make a striped raid array.
    My first concern was the raid Array. I was carefull to buy the exact same seagate hard drive, size etc. the original was only a month old anyway. The second was to use the intel southbridge chip for SATA RAID or the Promise controller? After researching these forums I decided to go with the Intel as it has more possible bandwidth and doesn't sit on the PCI bus.
    I got the new case and wearing those stupid white gloves, proceeded to move the components over and trash my "old" metal case.
    The windows NTFS format (full) flew by in 30 seconds and I was really impressed.
    Once windows xp and all it's drivers and updates were installed, incl sound and graphics etc. I did a 3Dmark 2001 test before upgrading to Dx9...what a bad mark! 3Dmark2001SE - 9950 (terrible for this system).
    I thought it was a DX problem...so I installed Dx9
    Then opened that corecenter program (the old one, the one that doesn't crash...)
    and my CPU was about 5c hotter than usual, it was running at 40-42c (I have standard intel cooling fan). It went up to 55 at times when running PC mark 2002.
    This didn't concern me too much a the system was stable at 32-34c and the northbridge read 60c (but we all know that's not true , more like 35ish.
    My PC mark 2002 is now cpu4200 - mem4800 - hdd1800
    (at least the HDD improved!) LOL
    I ran Aquamark3 next...29,900 (ouch!)
    Previously my CPU was 8,700 and GPU was 5300
    now the CPU read 4400 and the GPU 4600
    I don't really notice the speed loss when working, but games and benchmarks tell a different story.
    So, My question: What has happened? Why is my CPU power cut in half? and the graphics card slightly slower? The memory speed stayed the same and the HDD speed improved....not a worthwhile upgrade IMO
    What went wrong?
    Here are my theories.
    1) The CPU and system case is getting too hot
     Does the CPU "throttle" when it overheats? this could be the reason.
    Also both HDD get really hot and the fan in front blows air over them, this hot air could be going over the CPU or GPU. Maybe get 2 HDD coolers?
    should I buy a better CPU cooler like the Thermaltake spark7+ ?
    2) The PSU does not have enough watts
    I couldn't find traces of voltage lack or spikes...but it could still be a problem
    3) The RAID0 array is a strain on the CPU and chipset
      I'm not sure about this.
    My appologies for the lengthy thread, but I wanted to be sure that anyone trying to figure this out had as much info as possible  
    Thanks if u can help me figure this out.

    Well, your temps sound allright, no need to worry them, if they really operate at that level.

    The solution to set the FSB to 201Mhz sounds good. But do I set this in the BIOS or with Corecenter in windoze?
    Propably meant to adust your FSB at BIOS, at least that is what I would suggest.

    I will try to re-install the VGA drivers because something strange DID happen when I first installed them. I started with the hercules driver CD, this installed CAT 3.2 drivers. I then upgraded to CAT 3.7 and before it completed I got an error window (send, dont send).
    Remove drivers AND ATI control panel first, and then re-install. Use drivers from ATI site, and rather Catalyst 3.7. I Have had problems with 3.8 Catalysts.

    Still wouldn't explain why the CPU seems so crippled. I have managed to get a "normal cpu score of 7000+ in PCmark2002 by shutting down, restarting later and killing every process except explorer.
    Do you have any processes that seem to eat more juice thant hey should?  Arrange your processes by CPU usage and see if there is something strange.

    If this cant be fixed I will reinstall over the weekend. Does anyone know of the RAID0 array on the southbridge causing a system slowdown?
    I'm using Intel RAID and it works perfectly, no extra CPU usage is shown and it's pleasantly fast!
    And Install latest Intel INF updates and Application Accelerator from Intel site. That's what I'm using, and works fine.

  • CPU and HD performance

    Creating new templates in 8 (which is very easy to do), seem to have much better performance, at least what is shown in CPU and HD monitor window.
    Old templates from 7 show very high jumping HD activities.
    Maybe people with "disk too slow" problems should give this a try.

    Hi
    I don't use raid but think there's a NV Raid Manager you should have in windows.
    have a look at the nvidia site in the downloads section.
