Very slow response to online banking

On the Nationwide UK online banking website certain transactions take an age on Firefox 18 (and all previous versions that I remember) which happen without delay on Chrome. The transactions are usually transfers between accounts which have several steps over a series of pages. Submitting each page appears to happen swiftly but in fact a status message remains on the new page saying 'Waiting for onlinebanking.nationwide.co.uk'. This typically remains for 20 seconds to a minute. If I don't notice this and submit the next page before it goes away the whole transaction locks up and I have to start again.
Windows XP Home SP 3, 4GB RAM Intel 2GHz DualCore.
The problem is 100% reproducable on my system. I've called Nationwide and they say they can't fix it. It always works fine with no delays at all on Chrome. I've tried with Firefox in safe mode and get the same problem.

Hi there
Indeed I would recommend trying what is on Peter's site.
Go for it! Don't pass Go, Don't collect $200. Just be like Nike and do it!
Cheers... Rick

Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

VERY Slow Responses in iTunes When Deleting

Hi,
Can anyone help me with a problem of VERY slow responses in iTunes when I try to delete or amend track information. For example when I click on delete it can take several seconds or more to respond and again when I confirm the deletion or amendment.
I have had this problem for some time now and still occurs after a full re-install of the operating system (Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerMac Quad processor and iTunes 10.6.3) All the remaining applications work fine just as they should do.

Does anyone have an answer for this question? Is there perhaps some outside plug-in that can help?

Very slow response, stopping for seconds in the middle of typing an email

I'm having very slow response time with Firefox, so much so that I've switched to IE (gasp!). It'll stop suddenly for several seconds in the middle of typing an email and I have to wait to start typing again. Websites are timing out or just taking a very long time to respond after clicking on something. Yahoo in particular is extremely slow.

For me, I think the "Skype Click to Call 5.11.0.9874" addon was causing the slow response. Once I disabled this addon Firefox was responding normally.

Firefox 4.0.1 is constantly freezing, having to reboot constantly, and not responding to key strokes, and very slow responses to keys strokes and to change sites

firefox 4.0.1 is constantly freezing, having to reboot constantly, and not responding to key strokes, and very slow responses to keys strokes and to change sites. Firefox 3. (the previous incarnation of firefox) did not have such problems - this has started since "upgrading to 4.0.1 - I want to change back to the previous Firefox since this is a serious problem - need specific instructions on how to go back to the old Firefox

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application

Bex input help (F4) very slow response times

When running queries on some of our InfoCubes or ODSs (in 3.5 of 2004s) we are getting a very slow response when using the Input Help (F4) option. We have looked at the article the Nov/Dec 2004 BW Expert and the following SAP Notes 626887, 661251, 626887, 817335, 567746, 581802 and 748623. None of these are of much help. We did not seem to have this problem before the upgrade to 2004s.
Anyone have any other ideas? The users are wanting it fixed.

F4 help behaviour has changed in 04s 3.5 web run time.
See attached thread for a solution (not very helpful in some cases.).

New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS

Hi,
I've installed two instances of OIF 10.1.4.0.1 in order to create a test configuration to test XASP Attribute Sharing (i.e., we are not doing any other profiles).
Both OIF instances are using a separate instance of Sun Directory Server as its User Data Store, and both are using in-memory for Transient Data Store and have no Federation Data Store. Both OIF instances were installed similarly, using the "BASIC" installation choices, and are running on separate Redhat Linux servers.
The problem that we're seeing is very slow (10+ seconds to 30+ seconds) responses, even when we try to access a static HTML test page that we've placed in the OHS htdocs directory.
We've eliminated any networking problems as possibilities by a couple of tests that we've done, including shutting down the OHS and running a small, different test web server listening on port 7777. When we do that, response time for requests from that web server is almost instantaneous.
We are also seeing the same slow response when we try to access the test HTML page from the same server itself.
We have an SR open with Oracle, but so far, we've not been able to identify what the problem might be, so I'm hoping that perhaps someone else may have encountered this problem and have a resolution.
It is really puzzling because, as I said, this is a pretty vanilla default OIF installation, and it is doubly puzzling because even getting a tiny static HTML page is taking 10+ seconds. Also, I had installed OIF 10.1.4.0.1 on a Windows machine previously, and I don't see this problem on that earlier installation.
If anyone here has any insight into this problem, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I think I was able to temporarily eliminate this slow response problem. I think that the slow response problem is related to another problem that I posted about in the "Application Server - General" forum (see below, and Port 7200 conflict?
Jim
======= POSTED to Application Server - General forum ============
I think that I was able to temporarily work around this problem, plus another problem that I think is related (see: New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS
What I did was to just comment out the "include" line for "dms.conf" in the Apache httpd.conf.
Doing that got rid of the "Address already in use" errors I was seeing in Apache error_log and also eliminated the slow response I was seeing from Apache/OHS (see that other post in "Identity Management" forum), BUT I am getting new errors about Apache not being able to find "htdocs/dms/Spy0".
I have the impression that dms is some kind of process monitoring system that Oracle has in 10gAS infrastructure? So, I have some questions:
1) What's the effect of dms not working?
2) Is it possible to just disable dms?
I hope that Oracle support can come up with a "real" fix for both problems, but in the meantime, as long as what I did doesn't break anything else besides dms, we can at least test the OIF stuff.

Random users getting very slow response when opening messages/attachments or sending email

I have a small number of users, mostly very senior management of course, who are experiencing slow response when trying to open email messages and attachments or send messages.
They see the spinning wheel and sit there until it decides to open or send. If the message is opened and closed again you would expect it to be quick reopening the same message, no, it does the same thing again.
These users are all using Outlook 2010 and their mail accounts are on Exchange 2013. It does not seem to make a difference if they use a physical machine or log into a VDI.
I do not have the same issue generally, though I have experienced this when using VDI and this has been seen using a number of different machine pools so it is not a specific pool.
This is not specifically a VDI issue, as the 3rd paragraph says, the issues are seen on both physical and virtual machines.
none of the mailboxes are particularly large, most are at around 60% of quota limit, and the same limit applies to almost all mailboxes across the organization. They also do not appear to have a huge number of messages stored, other users without issues
have larger mailboxes and higher item counts. Any ideas what I need to look at to address this?

Hi,
How about OWA?
If OWA works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please try to run Outlook under safe mode and re-create profile for testing.
Any related error/warning/information message left in App Log?
Also consider the network Bandwidth.
Thanks

Very slow start up and very slow response

Hi guys,
SOS
My iMac is so slow to boot or start up. It takes about an 1-2 hours. It has very slow and very delayed response when doing tasks. I'm not sure what happened.
I have tried safe mode but it has not worked. I tried the disk utility but it was saying that my DVD (possibly because it is for snow leopard) is outdated. I think I updated to Lion.
Do you have any suggestions? I will try any other tricks. Do you recommend to back up before doing repair etc.?
thanks in advance!!

Tried to reset the RAM but did not get through. It went to disk utility again. Tried repair but it still saying to back up and restore files. Maybe the HD has been toasted. =(...
It says: Invalid key lenght. Volume Mac HD could not be verifried completely.. then it says Error: disk utilityu can't repair close back disk out, restoere etc..
In disk utillity as well, Mac OS X base system appeared- I dont know the purpose of this. It has some files on it. Dont know whether to restore it or what?..Mac HD seems like the it's empty..
Thanks again guys...It feels like I'm in a maze..

Experiencing very slow response time using AirPort while wired response is fine. Suggestions?

After a surfing session a few weeks ago the response time for my AirPort internet connection became painfully slow. When I plug in to the wired connection it works fine. Resetting the router and modem doesn't seem to fix it. What might have happened and what can I do to fix it?

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your AirPort Base Station from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, Wi-Fi Explorer or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Satellite L730 / L735 very slow..buffering online content, startup etc

I have only owned this since 26th May this year, and I have found the performance really slow.
I can't watch online content.. it takes ages buffering and has gotten worse over the past few weeks even though we have got a strong connection.
Also it is taking about 10 minutes on startup!!
Any ideas, seems a bit poor to be having such serious problems so early on? We have checked and defragmented the hard disk drive and that hasn't helped at all. There is very little stored on the HD.. less than 10% used.

> I can't watch online content.. it takes ages buffering and has gotten worse over the past few weeks even though we have got a strong connection.
The video streaming depends on the server where the video is hosted too!
If the server is overloaded, the performance can go down and this affects the streaming performance.
Did you notice the slow performance using other software too?
Please also note that background processes which are running in background of the operating system can slow down the system performance.
Usually you can disable not necessary background processes using msconfig.
But be careful with that. This can affect the notebook functionality too. If you dont know the single process, google for that to get more details.
I use the CCLeaner (freeware tool) to improve my notebook performance. Maybe it could be useful for you too.

Very slow response when selecting in Illustrator CS5 Mac

I am using Illustrator CS5 (15.0.1) on my brand new MacBook Pro with Core i5 processor and 8Gb Ram.
On this machine, Illustrator should behave very good, but when I do a selection of anything in an almost empty document, I get a beachball and have to wait a couple of seconds getting Illustrator to be responsive again.
This is very annoying.
This happens on anything I select (path, text, rectangle,...).
I have reinstalled the whole CS5 suite, but still the same problem.
Anyone got the same problem and know how to fix this.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Removing RIghtZoom worked for me!
I only had it installed because I don't like the way windows in OS X don't fully maximize like windows. I much prefer Illustrator to work than have full screen... plus photoshop tool selection is much faster as well.

HT4718 I upgraded my OSX to Version 10.8.4 and all operations are running very slow, especially my online browsing. Anyone else have this problem, and can undo the update?

I saw an update was available and trusted without exploring what was involved. Now all applications are running
slow including anything having to do with the internet. Can I uninstall the update?

Start up in Safe Mode. Connect to your router with an ethernet cable, as your wifi may not work, and apply the 10.8.4 Combo update.

HT204406 I am experiencing a very SLOW response on my iPhone when trying to make a play list.

Very slow response downloading purchased tunes

I purchased various songs yesterday. They started to download and have since hung up on the first one...
I shut down my machine yesterday, had trouble reconnecting this afternoon. Finally after several tries got connected to the Music Store. I validated the music is still there, ready for download. It seems to be trying, but flips between messages indicating it's "downloading 1 of 16" and then back to "accessing Music Store".
It's been doing that for about an hour now. Any body have any ideas? Just slow and be patient or something wrong?

unfortunately, i can't help you, but my daughter is having the exact same problem after "updating" to itunes 7. she could have written your letter. she did not have a problem with 6. anyone offer you a solution or did you find one yourself?
