What causes a slow mouse/cursor response on a fast machine?

I have a system that has always displayed poor cursor redraw performance with certain adobe applications.   All rendering and other effects are fast, but basic mouse selections and button knobs are extremely unresponsive.   I have searched and searched and can not seem to find out what causes the mouse cursor speed issues.   Does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would slow for such basic Interface interactions?    Do I need to change my hardware, settings, displays, BIOS, etc?
Any insight into what the mouse redraw/refresh is called in terms of computing would help me search for a solution.  And if you have a solution as to why my mouse cursor acts drunk and sluggish when interacting with the Adobe UI's in premiere and after effects and sometimes Photoshop I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank You.  I attached a screen shot of a very basic selection interaction that is dog slow.  The selection box redraws like there is a lag in some process associated with the square box overlay.

Your answer is in this part of your specs:
> (driving two 30 inch dell monitors)
It takes a long time to draw and redraw the pixels to the screen(s) with such large monitors.
We can mitigate this by making some changes in how our UI is drawn to the screen, and such changes are a rather high priority for use to work on for the near future.

  • What causes periodic slowing down ?- (cured with reboot)

    Hello, all! I'm loving my older Mac mini, but noticed a strange phenomenon - it sometimes gets really slow, cured by rebooting. I used the Activity monitor, and when it is slow, 90% of the CPU power is used by "system" I noticed an application named Twainbridge was using a lot of power, quit that, and that sped things up a lot, but it still progresses to extremely slow. Any thoughts? I have removed some programs. Checking permissions and disk space is OK (24gig free) When it runs great, it's fast and wonderful, and when it's slow, restarting cures it. Any utilities/fixes? Thanks

    It depends on the scanner and the software, but generally twainbridge only runs when it is called by the host software or connected hardware. A bit of trial and error might be in order in terms of simply leaving the scanner disconnected and checking to see if you suffer the performance issues. If not, then that should work just fine as a solution, though it suggests the software may not be entirely compatible with the version of MacOS.
    It's also possible that the hardware or software vendors have newer drivers and/or software available which may behave a little better.
    Also a possibility which has worked for some users with less than ideally compatible devices and software is to set up a separate account on the system to log in to and use just for those specific things, allowing the main account to remain unblemished by performance hits and potential stability issues.

  • Animations Cause Mouse Cursor to Blink

    I just upgraded my video card and am now using the <code>nvidia</code> drivers (I also upgraded my monitor to a Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW at the same time).  Ever since then, my mouse cursor blinks when either doing animations like the typical hourglass (wait cursor), or when I happen to be hovering the normal cursor over an animation (like the loading screen of Xfce, for example).
    The cursor blinking doesn't really cause any problems, but it is somewhat annoying.  Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    Add "Option "HWCursor" "off"" in Device section (where your GPU is defined) of xorg.conf.

  • I want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • What causes a macbook pro to suddenly become slow?

    I have only had my macbook pro for a year. Well recently it suddenly became very slow to the point where every few seconds the spinning beach ball looking thing came up (loading icon)... and it would stay there for a good 15 seconds then go away for like 5 seconds... what causes this?!?!?! and what can fix it??!?!
    HELP!!!!! It also has 350gb left of hard drive space and 2gb of ram... whats the issue

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • What causes ipad/iphones wireless slow download and high upload?

    Does anyone know what causes ipad/iphones wireless to have slow download and high upload? Tried using linksys e3000 and linksys ea6500 and ipads/iphones get approximatly 1Mbps Down and about 5Mbps Up. Macbook pro gets 46Mbps down and 5Mbps Up and is consistent. Does anyone have any wireless settings such as channel width and frequency that works best?

    I have no idea, but i would not buy another apple device as of now.  I have 2 iphones (3GS, 4) and an iPad 2 on my home wifi.  They usually get between 1-5mb speeds on wifi (i have a 50mb connection).  I tested my laptop, 50+mb, my android phone 25mb+, yet every apple device on its best moment gets 5...usually 3 or lower.
    I've tried everything...Different channels, WMM/QOS on/off, Wireless N only, Wireless G/N, i have a wireless N Verizon Fios router, i've shut wireless off on that and hooked up a D-link 655...tried everything, and still the sucky speeds.  It's set to WPA2/AES.  I can not even watch an HD youtube video without it pausing every few seconds.
    Apple is no help, Verizon is no help...i'm completely out of ideas.

  • HT1338 My mouse cursor dissappears for up to 20 seconds quite often. What's up?

    My mouse cursor keeps dissapearing erratically for 10 to 15 seconds at a time. Typing also seizes, then catches up. Running Mackeeper daily and cleared my disk utility permissions to no avail.... Help!

    I've red through the P67 errata about USB and all of them have the status "No Plan to Fix". As being quite familiar with the USB 2.0 specification (I've once written an USB driver for an embedded system myself) I do not see any issues mentioned that could be related to enumeration problems during cold boot or resume. This seriously doubts me that the B3 release will fix my issue.
    I will also put this problem in MSI support, but knowing how they did reply in my other issue report about the mouse not working in my BIOS I'm not so sure if they will take it seriously....

  • Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

    Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
    This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

    Hi,
    Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
    If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
    Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
    Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
    If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
    * I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

  • Help! Flashvars causing browser slow down

    Hi All,
    I have a very simple .swf file that is causing some kind of
    slow down or memory leak. It is effecting the browser its self as
    moving the mouse cursor around or selecting text becomes sluggish.
    Within the .swf, the stage is only 1px by 1px. It is meant to
    fit the size of the html element its embedded in. Once the .swf
    loads it adjusts its stage to the new dimensions. It then draws a
    rectangle movie clip to fit the new size.
    Once the rectangle is drawn the .swf then draws 50 circles of
    varying size to animate as a snow effect. I wasn't having any slow
    down until I added this snow effect in. However let me explain in
    the next paragraph that the snow is not the real culprit.
    The rectangles fill, stroke, and corner radius. Can all be
    set by variables sent to the swf. by the Flashvars attribute of
    object, and embed. Once they are retrieved by the .swf they are
    processed by a conditional statement I wrote. If one of the
    attributes isn't set they are set to a default. The code is
    attached below.
    Heres how I know the snow effect isn't the culprit. If I
    don't pass the .swf any Flashvars attribute and just let it use the
    defaults for styleObj in the .swf. The effect runs fine. If I do
    try to pass it Flashvars the slow down occurs. Is there an issue
    with my conditional statements?
    I have tried embedding using the SwfObject.js Class and using
    standard HTML tags. Both display the same issue if Flashvars are
    passed there's a slowdown if not its fine.
    If anyone could help with this, or shoot me some links with
    info I would be eternally grateful. I can also provide the source
    files if you want to take a look at it.
    I have uploaded a test page so you can see the problem in
    http://www.callmekev.com/client/test/

    Hey kglad,
    Thanks for all your help. I had the issue posted on 2 other
    forums and you are the only response I have got. I was unaware of
    the data-type functions you had listed. After some further testing
    I found that they had the same effect as using the - operator like
    I had been doing.
    I did find a solution however. I took the variables as they
    were coming in from the Flashvars attribute and saved them in new
    flash only variables as numbers. Then I assigned the Flashvars
    variables a value of null. I think the .swf was continully going
    back to the html variables causing the slow down and this gave it
    its on set to look at.
    You can check the new
    test its a lot smoother.

  • Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

    Hi
    First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
    Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
    Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
    When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
    I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
    Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
    I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • [Solved] Login freezing with busy mouse cursor and black screen.

    After installing some recent updates I have suddenly found a problem when starting the login manager for Cinnamon.
    After booting I am greeted with a black screen and a "busy" mouse cursor - like a stopwatch. I can't ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X.
    What fixes it is - if I ctrl-alt-F2 to a new console and kill -9 the Xorg process. This causes X to restart normally. I have to do this every time now
    I don't know if this is systemd related or what, but it only seemed to happen after the updates below.

    WOW! That did it
    Could you explain what happened or why this fixed it please?
    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know the details to be honest, but the title of your post basically describes my situation with GDM when I used accountsservice >0.6.25, so I figured it was worth a shot, since the symptoms were the same.
    Also, Cinnamon depends on accountsservice if I'm not mistaken, so it didn't seem unreasonable that the update broke Cinnamon too.
    I'm glad it works now. Let's hope a updated, working version of accountsservice is released soon.

  • Xorg: blank screen, mouse cursor only - ATI Radeon HD3450

    Last friday, my old Nvidia card died (overheated, I think). I got a replacement today: an ATI HD3450 card by Asus (R600 series). This is an old PC with an AGP slot, so my options were unfortunately limited. I was looking for a Nvidia replacement originally, to avoid having to reconfigure stuff, but that turned out to be too hard. So I got an ATI card instead. I regret this decision now... it works fine in console mode, but I can't get it to work in X.
    I've tried radeon and radeonhd drivers. I'm reluctant to try catalyst, seeing as they do not support the current kernel version (2.6.32) and I don't want to downgrade.
    radeonhd (xf86-video-radeonhd) is just a disaster. When I try to start X, all I see is a screen which is mostly black, except for a garbled band of about 1/4th the screen height, mostly white with some random colours thrown in.
    radeon (xf86-video-ati) doesn't work either. When X starts, all I see is the mouse cursor. And nothing else. Just a black screen with a mouse cursor. The funny thing is, it's all there, I just can't see it. When I tried "startxfce4", the cursor would change shapes when it was over window edges or text boxes. But they were invisible. Too bad.
    When I run "startx" as root, I see a couple of twm windows (the default configuration, I normally don't use X as root), and I can interact with them, but it's as if the screen isn't refreshed properly. When I move a window, it isn't redrawn, but it was definitely moved, because when I enter text in it, the text appears at the new position. The 'vesa' driver works, but I can't use that for obvious reasons.
    I have read the wiki article about ATI drivers and tried some of the things mentioned there (no xorg.conf, simple xorg.conf with some combinations of the sections mentioned, ...). I'm pretty sure the problem isn't KMS-related, because it's disabled by default with the 2.6.32 kernel.
    What pisses me off the most is that I get no error messages whatsoever, so I haven't a clue what could be the problem. I'm working on getting some Xorg.0.log output in this thread ASAP.
    Anybody have any idea what could cause this? I would really like to get this working soon. It would kinda suck if it turns out I've replaced an unusable graphics card with another unusable graphics card.
    If the radeonhd problem is easier to solve, then solutions for that are welcome as well. I just need a working driver that can handle compiz, and doesn't require me to downgrade my kernel.
    EDIT: Xorg.0.log contents, enjoy!

    "Enabling KMS will make Xorg fall back to software rasterizing, at the cost of 3D performance. " <- is this still true at the moment? In that case, enabling KMS really isn't the solution I'm looking for. Back to square one
    This is not true.  Software rasterization indicates that KMS was not set up correctly.  You will get 3D acceleration with KMS correctly configured.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply
    I'll give enabling KMS a try. What thread is it that you're talking about? Also should I follow the "early start" or "late start" instructions?
    EDIT: I'm guessing you mean this one? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=613720
    That thread is the one I meant. 
    Your xf86-video-ati doesn't have support for KMS - you have to rebuild it against libdrm_radeon. This also means that you have to rebuild mesa against same new libdrm because mesa doesn't have KMS support without libdrm_radeon either.
    Is this information applicable to my situation? No instructions on how to do this are provided, so I have no idea how to try it, or if it's worth trying at all.
    Yes, this is a problem.  You have to modify a PKGBUILD or two and build/install the packages in the correct order.  I detail the right way to do everything below.
    I used the following packages:
    * kernel26-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25304 (you must configure with CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m. CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y enables KMS by default.  you should be presented with a configuration menu when the package builds.  type '/' to search.)
    * kernel26-firmware-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25782
    * radeon_ucode: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33016
    * libdrm-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10254 (you must edit the PKGBUILD to enable radeon support, see below)
    * glproto-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18964
    * dri2proto-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19051
    * libgl-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19044 (this is out of date and requires a patch.  see my comment on the AUR page)
    * mesa-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8266 (you can reuse src/mesa from libgl-git, it clones the same repository)
    * xf86-video-ati-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15374 (you can reuse src/mesa from libgl-git)
    libdrm-git PKGBUILD:
    sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-nouveau-experimental-api \
    --enable-udev || return 1
    # --enable-radeon-experimental-api
    libdrm-git PKGBUILD modified:
    sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-radeon-experimental-api \
    --enable-udev || return 1
    Install those packages in that order and add yourself to the video group.  Make sure that your grub configuration has an option to select the new kernel.  Also make sure all of your PKGBUILDs from AUR are up to date.  A week or two ago they were all wrong (as a noted above, one of them is still wrong and requires a patch).
    I hope that helps.  Eventually Arch will support KMS for radeon by default, but the driver and the kernel need to go through another release or two.

  • Firmware Upgrade causes severe slowness and Hangs

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? I did do the firmware upgrade, and that caused slowness in responsiveness (followed immediately by that spinning wheel). In some cases, it completely hangs. At this time, I also tried to VNC into it, and it wasn't listening. It looks like GUI and network connectivity got hosed. This happens at least 10 times today.
    Any suggestions?

    spingineer,
    I haven't seen the firmware update (done 2x) alone cause the problems that you're mentioning. In fact, I didn't notice a thing after running it. I DID notice issues when I ran all the updates (machine fresh out of the box and then everything at once). You machine shouldn't be any slower. Make sure you have enough free space on your drive.
    The obvious, and often underused, diagnostic tool is to create a new user account and see if the issues persist there. If not, then look to what's running in your login items and your applications. You may just need to repair permissions, but sometimes it helps to verify or repair the disk.
    As to the network connectivity. I'd say it's basically a given that a lot of minis aren't good citizens.
    What I see is contention. It's like the machine thinks 'oh, someone else is using the connection so I'll back off a bit then try again', even if nothing else is on at all. It could be partially hardware, there are changes in the machines; but it might be something that can be solved w/ modifications to the stack. It's almost like a feedback loop. The more you use the connection the more it thinks it is competing w/ other machines for access and the slower it becomes. Try the usual, zap the pram, repair permissions, etc. There's a good link if you use search to a tutorial that may help you w/ some network connectivity issues on the mini. (moving out system configuration, promoting your primary connection to the top, using the assistant, rebooting and zapping the pram).
    As easy as it seems to look at the firmware as the source of the problems, I haven't seen that as the foundation issue for either of the difficulties you are experiencing with your machine.
    Hopefully a few simple resets and permission repairs etc will remedy the issue.
    Good Luck,
