Very slow browser performance

Hi and thanks in advance for your time.
My internet browsing is painfully slow. I tested the speed on speedtest.net and on speakeasy.net, the result were:
MP3 file download (5MB): 2 sec
Video clip (35MB): 14 sec
Movie (800MB): 5min
Download: 20 MB/s - 26053kbps
Upload: 6.52MB/s - 6594kbps
Ping: 71Ms
Another useful info is that since the last update, Safari has crashed few times, particularly with s website for music that has lots of QT videos. However, the speed was very slow even before the last update
I use Comcast with a DSL modem that was reset by comcast prior to performing the test (did not see improvement after that). Supposly, I got more speed that what I am paying for, but again, it is QUITE slow.
My computer is a 2Ghz PowerPC G5 running 2Gb RAM, bus speed: 667Mhz, 128MB video RAM, HD is 232GB (123 are used mainly on music, video, photos and keynote docs)
What can I do?
Thanks!

Let's try and deal with the slowness first:
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives 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
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
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 your Safari crashes, please copy and paste the crash report here.

Kapsel Fiori Client (FC): self-built iOS FC shows very slow UI performance

Hi Experts,
I have used KapselSDK to build our own FC using:
SMP3.0 KapselSDK SP07_PL00
Cordova 3.6.3
Xcode 6.2
OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite
Enterprise distribution certificate for deplyment
.ipa for iPhone4S, 5 (tested)
ipd also inside Airwatch (tested)
App config:
SMP proxy is not used.
The issue:
We use FC to launch the Fiori Launchpad where there are some Fiori apps. The problem is that after type usr pwd, it took very long time to see the Launchpad UI. Tried the standard FC from Apple Store, and it worked very fast.
Does anyone have any idea? I see some info about the slow UI performance for Android devices which can be solved using crosswalk, but my understanding is that crosswalk is not for iOS.
Thanks.
Dong

Have you tired testing the same URL through Mobile Safari to see if it is slow also?
We have had reports of slowness on iOS and we are researching. The details are iOS uses HTTP pipelining when the connection is slow. This means iOS bundles several requests (2-3 to our observations) together but the ICM does only response to one of them and ignores the others. After a timeout of about 1 minute (transparent to the FLP) the Safari automatically repeats the ignored requests. It may happen that this happens a second time, but not a third time – then the requests are not repeated anymore. Seems to happen in Mobile Safari Browser more often than Fiori Client and doesn't happen in Mobile Chrome on same device.
Thanks,

Very slow disk performance in Bootcamp 2.1 with XP Pro SP3

Tried bootcamp today and for some reason disk access is painfully slow. XP shouldn't have these issues on such a fast machine. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?
As it stands XP cannot be used for anything useful due to poor disk performance.
Any help greatly appreciated.
RobP

After more digging around I discovered that Bootcamp was operating my hardrive in PIO mode rather than Ultra-DMA - hence the very slow performance. I tried looking for drivers but failed. In the end I installed Vista Premium 32bit and everything now seems fine.
I wonder if bootcamp will get updated to give XP users the full speed of their Mac Pro drives?
Either way, I'm now sorted

Very slow mac performance

Mac is very very slow, I upgraded the RAM to 3GB but the difference wasn't noticable. I then downloaded the iDefrag application. The iDefrag app is unable to run a full defrag because there isn't enough contiguous space available.
iDefrag support team advised my HDD is in too much of a state to perform defrag and to create a boot disc and run it from there. I am unable to create a boot disc as my mac's DVD drive no longer burns DVD/CDs.
I have cleared nearly everything off my mac except software applications and the Adobe Lightroom 2 catalog file, which is 10GB. But I don't understand what is using the majority of my HDD space.
Any advice is most welcome.
The HDD size is - 119.69GB
Used is 58.75GB
Available is 60.94GB

I'd launch the Activity Monitor utility, set the list at the top to "All Processes", then click on the CPU heading until the top CPU users are at the top of the list. Continue to work until things slow down, then see what's consuming CPU time.
You should also select the "System Memory" tab near the bottom. If after you've been using your Mac for a while, the value for "Page outs" is greater than zero and increases while you work, then you could benefit from even more RAM.

Very slow Spotlight performance

Hi, I'm experiencing a very very slow (even none) performance when I try to spotlight some files and folders. It has slightly a better performance on the spotlight window. It's working perfect only with apps.
I've been rebuild the spotlight's database and did permissions repairs and other stuff found googling and nothing seems to get it correctly working. It did worked perfect some time ago. But not any more.
I'd thank some help.

Download and run ALL the free OnyX cleaning and maintenance aspects and reboot.

Help! Poor performance/very slow in performing GR

Hi,
I have a production situation where the GR in the system is very slow. The moment "post" button was clicked, it takes approximately 25msec for the system to return the material document number. BASIS which showed that the kernel portion took up the most time (see below). Iu2019m not too sure what to make out of this trace - can anyone help advice how to proceed for the next step in resolving/troubleshooting this?
From what i could see - most of the time is spent in GOODS_MOVEMENT_POST.
Many thanks in advance.

MacBook PRO very slow Tiger performance

dear all,
I have seen this topic many times but unfortunetly none of the tips mentioned has solved my issues.
Basically I am running OS X Tiger on a Mac Book PRO with 1G of RAM.
CPU wise, no problem, as far as I can see the usage is 30% CPU on average.
RAM wise, about 70% of the RAM is in use.
Now, when I use usual OS X application, the whole systems becomes very slow, for example I have a few (2 or 3) text files open with SubEthaEdit, one terminal window open with just a SSH connection to another machine, and then the regular apps like itunes, Mail, Safari, Address Book, Calendar, Transmit and AdiumX running as well as a few widgets like Clock, Calculator and the Stock Market quotes.
Now, for example when I put my mouse on the Dock, it fails to respond immediately, taking a few seconds to actually display the app name.
More over, if for example a Terminal window is down in the task bar and I click on, it sometime takes 10 seconds to come up.
Same with Adium, I click on one of my contacts, it takes 10 / 20 secs to display the chat window, and if I am lucky I can start typing in it.
Generally, just after a boot, the system is fine, but as soon as I start a few applications, the systems becomes very slow, even sometimes fails to respond.
One particularity is that I work with a Japanese username under a English OS X, as far as I know, this shouldn't be a problem.
Other thing is that I enabled the OS X firewall, but I am still experiencing the same issue when not connected to any network.
I hope those are enough informations concerning my issue, one more detail is that I did disable startup items and check if no extra deamon was running on the system (I did Repair my disk permission as well)
If anyone has an idea on where to check next and what could cause this slowdown issues, that would be great.
Thanks in Advance!

20 GB of swap? something is definitely wrong. I run more applications than you, which are more memory-intensive, and my swap never goes above 512 MB. Granted, I have 1.5 GB of RAM, but still...
Putting swap on a different partition of the same disk won't help at all. The bottleneck is still disk I/O, plus now the heads of the hard disk must seek farther to go between swap and reading/writing your actual data.
I would open your applications one by one, from a fresh boot, and see which one eats up all the memory. 20 GB is an obscene amount, and points to a problem.
Edit: I checked again. Menumeters says I'm using 256 MB of total swap space right now, but in Activity Monitor my VM size is listed as 5.46 GB. I'm assuming that's what you're looking at in Activity Monitor. Still, 20 GB of VM size seems obscene to me.

Windows 7 VERY slow browsing and creating folders

Hi!
I'm having a rather strange problem with Windows 7 RC. I've noticed that browsing folders is generally slower than in WinXP, but still acceptable. But lately I'm having a lot of difficulties moving files, creating folders, renaming folders and files, and even waiting for an Explorer window to refresh after some external app has created or modified a file. Sometimes I have to wait up to 30 seconds for a new folder to be created, and another 10 or 15 after I rename it (from "New Folder" to whatever else).
This does not happen in every folder in my HDD, but I don't know exactly in which ones. I thought it was the indexed folders, so I removed a few from the Windows Indexing database, and they were still slow (after system reboot and all). Then I thought it would probably happen in folders that are part of a library, so I removed them and the problem was still there. I can't think of another reason for this to happen in some folders and not others. It seems to happen in my frequently used folders, which honestly sucks.
Just for the record, here's my system's specs:
Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop (e1705), late 2006 model
2GB DDR2 667 ram
320 GB 7200 rpm seagate HDD, aftermarket (really fast drive, not the problem here)
Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo) 2.0GHZ
Windows 7 RC, multiboot with WinXP
Thanks!!!

For the benefit of those who are being driven nuts with SLLOOOWWWW Explorer 'Problems', I list the methodology which has worked for me.
As always, 'Use at Own Risk' and 'Your Mileage May Vary'.
Do NOT repeat NOT perform these steps unless youfully understand the ramifications and are prepared to live with the consequences.
BACKUP FIRST !!! - Create a RESTORE POINT!
The latest incarnations of Windows attempt to 'out-think' the user in order to provide a 'Better Computing Experience', and that is well and good for the average Joe-Blow, but NOT what the Power-User wants or expects. There are MANY suggestions as
to the cause and solution(s) for slow Explorer response, but we have to remember just how much work is going on behind the scenes.
Much of that work is to provide 'pretty' screen enhancements and to make for 'simpler' Searching. By foregoing some of these we can reclaim quite a lot of CPU cycles and Disk I/O for our own (Applications) use.
Before you embark on any changes, carefully assess just how you use your PC. - How important are Thumbnails? - What value does Content View really provide? - Can you implement a Folder structure and File-Naming convention which makes Snippets and Content
indexing of little use?
You'll still be able to see local thumbnails if that's what you want, they will just be remade each time you open the folder and select Thumbnail (Large Icon) View. This is usually less bothersome than the time loss of having a 'Master' Thumbnail
cache maintained and updated for every file operation.
Certainly, some 3rd Party 'add-ons' (Power Archiver for one! & similar) may cause problems, as can poorly configured A/V programs (realtime checking of Notepad for instance, every time it is opened??? Why not bring back the old innoculate method?) -
but I digress.
For many, the slow Explorer problem exists without any of the suspects / causes mentioned in previous Posts, or elsewhere online.
I repeat: 'This methodology has worked for me - Your Mileage May Vary'.
Now for the fun & games:
Kill the time and resource hog 'Indexing Services' - Plenty of advice on how to do that is available online.
DISALLOW Indexing on all volumes.
To retain the ability to search for my files, I have been using the Search Everything tool from:
http://www.voidtools.com/ which searches ONLY on local or removable NTFS volumes. (ie NOT FAT32 USB Drives!) But that poses very little problem when I examine my real-world use of any Search Tool.
SE needs Administrator privileges for its low-level file-system access, certainly not an issue to have a responsive Global Search at your fingertips.
With 34.5 Gb (> 137,000 files in > 20,000 folders) on HDD, and 627 Gb (> 2,300,000 files in > 82,500 folders) on a Portable USB Drive, Search Everything has about 74Kb RAM usage and the db file is 10.5 Mb on disk - not a huge overhead.
The initial run occupied about 10 minutes of my setting options and less than 5 minutes for the building of the database.
The online FAQ has plenty of information including how to use wildcards, Path Matching, boolean operators and regex use.
With a lean mean responsive search at hand, now to clobber some more of the 'features' which are supposed to 'help' us in our computing experience...
Big Guns Time!
Start Group Policy Editor -
Start > Run > gpedit.msc
Navigate to:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer
Locate and ENABLE the settings as listed:
1. Turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons on network folders
Disables the display of thumbnails on network folders in Windows Explorer.
Windows Explorer displays thumbnails on network folders by default.
If you enable this policy. Windows Explorer will only display icons and never display thumbnails on network folders.
That gets rid of the first time-waster - Network access is slow enough without adding the extra traffic for thumbnails, and many PCs are stand-alone anyway.
2. Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
Turns off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
This policy setting allows you to configure Windows Explorer to cache thumbnails of items residing in network folders in hidden thumbs.db files.
If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer does not create, read from, or write to thumbs.db files.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer creates, reads from, and writes to thumbs.db files.
This goes hand-in hand with 1.
3. Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data
This policy setting allows you to turn off Windows Libraries features that need indexed file metadata to function properly. If you enable this policy, some Windows Libraries features will be turned off to better handle included folders that have been
redirected to non-indexed network locations. Setting this policy will:
* Disable all Arrangement views except for "By Folder"
* Disable all Search filter suggestions other than "Date Modified" and "Size"
* Disable view of file content snippets in Content mode when search results are returned
* Disable ability to stack in the Context menu and Column headers
* Exclude Libraries from the scope of Start search
This policy will not enable users to add unsupported locations to Libraries.
If you enable this policy, Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data will be disabled.
If you disable or do not configure this policy, all default Window Libraries features will be enabled.
Well, with Indexing turned OFF, this one is a real no-brainer, isn't it?
4. Turn off the display of snippets in Content view mode
Disables the display of snippets when Content view mode is turned on.
Windows Explorer shows snippets in Content view mode by default.
If you enable this policy, Windows Explorer will not display snippets in Content view mode.
That stops peeking into every file and trying to decode the snippet - MORE time-saving.
5. Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures
This setting controls whether the thumbnail views are cached.
If you enable this setting, thumbnail views are not cached.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, thumbnail views are cached.
Note: For shared corporate workstations or computers where security is a top concern, you should enable this setting to turn off the thumbnail view cache, because the thumbnail cache can be read by everyone.
It (IMHO) is faster to generate the thumbnails as needed (for my usage anyway), rather than to be attempting to maintain a global cache each time a file is created, modified, deleted or moved.
This completely cuts out the thumbnail caching overheads, and makes quite an impressive speed difference. Even on an old 1.7 GHz Laptop with 2 Gb RAM and an Intel 915GM Graphics Card (NOT the best choice for Win 7 by any means!).
6. Turn off numerical sorting in Windows Explorer
This policy setting allows you to have file names sorted literally (as in Windows 2000 and earlier) rather than in numerical order.
If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by each digit in a file name (for example, 111 < 22 < 3).
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by increasing number value (for example, 3 < 22 < 111).
Do I REALLY want to waste the time on this procedure? If I want to sequence my files, I'll prefix the filenames with 0's - 003 < 022 < 111. Not a problem!
Subjectively, these changes make for a much more responsive system.
Objectively, moving over 2.3 Gb (7,500+ files) via 'Drag & Drop' from HDD to USB Drive shrank from 12 Mins+ to about 8 Mins. Explorer did NOT 'freeze', and I could freely change the displayed folders in both the Source and Target Explorer windows.
I hope that this is of use to others, it has served me well for the last several months.
A few minor delays when wanting thumbnail views, but certainly FAR LESS DELAY than before the changes, and
no more stalled Explorer.

VERY slow reporting performance

We've created reports which, when run directly on Oracle through sqlplus (copying the exact SQL from the report) take around 3 minutes, when run from BO (using Web Intelligence) take hours.
The SQL outputs around 300,000 rows, which equates to a few hundred pages in the report. Is there a reason why the report would take so long (the session to Oracle is open the whole time)? I can understand it not taking just the time for Oracle to execute the query, as WebI then needs to take the results and produce the report, but I wouldn't expect it to take hours.
So far on our servers we've concentrated on making Oracle perform faster, and now we've got that working better our attention has been drawn to the performance issues of the reporting, and we don't have any experience with tuning it, so any advice would be very much appreciated.
We're running BO Enterprise XI R2 SP3 on Linux with Web Intelligence as the only reporting interface. The database is Oracle RAC (3 node cluster) 10.2.0.4.

Correction: I incorrectly said jobserver in the earlier post (I read your post wrong).
You need to start a trace on the CMS (for querytiming), the Webi Report Server and the Connection Server (which accesses the db)
For the CMS trace, stop the CMS, in ccm.config, add a '-trace -querytiming' to the end of the cmsLaunch line. Similarly, add a -trace to the command line for the Webi Report Server (I don't remember the exact line; I don't have a XI R2 deployment on Linux available right now)
To enable tracing on the connection server, do the following:
(SAP 1197745 - How to enable connection server tracing on a UNIX platform)
Open cs.cfg in a text editor. These are located by default in
Linux: bobje/enterprise115/linux_x86/dataAccess/RDBMS/connectionServer/cs.cfg
Locate the following entry:
Traces ClassID="csTRACELOG" Active="No"
Change the "No" to "Yes".
Traces ClassID="csTRACELOG" Active="Yes"
Save the file.
Restart the Web Intelligence Report Server.
====================
NOTE:
Be aware that connection server traces slow down the server performance. Detailed traces get generated when this level of tracing is enabled. Disable tracing when not needed.
====================
PS: The Webi Report Server contains the Connection Server libraries. The Connection Server runs in-proc within the Webi Report Server. Hence the need to restart the Webi Report Server.
Also, I encourage you to open a ticket with BO on this. Performance issues are never easy to troubleshoot, even less so on a forum such as this.
Finally, I don't believe there is any document that lists all command line options. Or rather, if such a document exists, I don't believe it's available for public consumption.

Very slow (glacial) performance after 10.4.10 update

Updated Mac mini 1.66GHz last night via Software Update. Initially got extremely slow reboot and finder performance. Tried many things ie safe boot, repair permissions, reset pram, and even reinstall via Combo Update but all to no avail. It has been taking over 5 minutes to just boot up to Finder. Finder operations are really slow, but application response is nearly as fast as pre-update.
So, I do a backup (just in case) and plan to go back to 10.4.9. I normally backup weekly to an extra internal drive in my G5 Dual 2.0 via wireless and usually takes about 30 to 45 min. However, this backup takes over 18 hours!
I have perused these forums and others, but have not noticed this slow issue occurring. Any hints on how to speed back up?

Hello janala:
You might try trashing the preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restarting. Also, I would certainly run repair disk from your software install DVD.

Very Slow SMB Performance with DroboShare

Hi there,
We have a big issue with a DroboShare NAS device connected to a Drobo Drive (FAT32):
If we connect to our DroboShare NAS directly via LAN, the performance with SMB is terrible. Browsing folders takes minutes until the contents (15 items) are shown, opening and saving files takes minutes.
If we connect the Drobo via USB to one of our Macs and then share it via SMB, it is fast as ****.
Problem is that we cannot leave it this way, as we only have portable macs, so if they are removed, nobody can access the Drobo.
The problem nevertheless seems to be restricted to Macs: If we connect to the DroboShare with Linux or Windows Boxes, everything is as fast as expected.
Does anyone has similar issues with weak performance and/or knows how this can improved?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

I just ported netatalk (AFP) over to the DroboShare.

Fix for a very slow browser

Hello All,
I hope this helps.
Here's my problem. My browser, when wireless, had slowed down dramatically. Loading pages took forever. I tried it at home and the office and both were slow.
When I plugged it directly into the Ethernet it was blazingly fast. Made me want to cry
I tried many of the things suggested here including clearing cache etc.
Here's what worked for me. Corrupt network config file I guess.
System Preferences
Network
Location tab click to "New Location"
Name it Apple (or anything you like)
Click Apply
See if that works for you. Fixed 2 weeks of frustration for me!

Thanks for posting this Justin. I'm sure it will help others wondering what happened to their browser speed,
Also, consider adding 4.2.2.2 to your Network>Airport>TCP> DNS servers box, selecting "apply". This too may help in the speed department.

Very slow browsing speeds after 10.4.6 update

after updating to 10.4.6 Firefox, Safari are so slow compared to previous browsing speeds on a cable modem.
Speed has slowed from better than T1 to low DSL.

this is the only problem found.
Would this be the cause of the slow down?
If so, can I delete this file,, would a new one be created?
or what can repair this file?
If the above is not the cause of the slow down, any
suggestions on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
