Why is ethernet slower than wifi?

What might be the reasons for ethernet being slower that wifi?

Nope, Cat5e is certified at 1000Mb/s. And the wireless will not even be close to that.

Why is java slower than C and C++

Hi Guys:
I would like to know why Java is slower than C and C++ in terms of compilation speed...
Does it have to do with the fact that Java compiles to byte code first and then the JVM translates byte code to machine code which your processor can understand. whereas C and C++ compiles directly to machine code...
Any ideas on that,...let me know..

It's not necessarily. I would suggest that it always is; whencomparing
specific tasks.I would suggest that is never is (significantly)
when non-trivial and non-specialized applicationsare
involved. Requirements and design always have a
much greater impact.There's no doubt that the design is the most
important
aspect when writing a program, but assuming those
things
are equal, the fact is that a c program will be
faster.Yes, but given the fact that there is almost zero chance that the requirements, design and implementation will be optimal, it means that the real differences between the languages are insignificant compared to the real difference caused by the other factors.
In the theorectical world C/C++ is faster. In the real world, most of the time, it is not significant.

Anyone has any idea why KT400 is slower than KT333?

We have heard and seen reviews that MSI KT4 Ultra is(was) slower than KT3 Ultra(2), so as other manufacturers KT400 boards. All seem to be slower than KT333.
Anybody know why? or have read any studies on this issue?

I have no idea, but Mobo manufacturers are rushing new products to the market to be the first with 333, 400, what's next? My strategy is to read the reviews but wait until the board (or CPU) is sub top and buy it when the bugs have been ironed out (or well documented in fora like this) and the price has come down. Sorry, I am Dutch!

Why is firefox slower than before the reset?

The past 8 weeks Firefox has been extremely slow. I've tried safe mode and all the other web suggestions and finally did the 'Reset'. Now Firefox is slower than it was before the reset. Google, Duck Duck Go and IE. I've also tried Safari, which I didn't like, but all of them were faster than Firefox. Can anybody help me? I'm not that computer savvy to do a clean install and don't the $$ to have it done. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can do a clean install by following these instructions:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Why is firefox slower than explorer on windows 7?

firefox runs slower than explorer in windows 7. New laptop. I notice it when switching pages while on craigslist. Does not happen on other computers running xp or vista.

Some of your extensions might be the cause of the problem. Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode then going to Tools--Addons--Extensions to see if one of your extensions is causing a problem.

Am I missing something? USB Ethernet appears to be much slower than wifi.

System = Macbook Air early 2010
OSX = Mavericks
Have been using wifi to backup via time machine to windows 7 SMB network share.
Expected to see much faster backup times when ethernet attached using the Apple USB Ethernet dongle but the backup times seem much slower. Am I missing something here? Anyone else with experience of ethernet versus wifi for intranet/local network data transfers?
Thanks,
Bennie

Csound1 - My tests have indicated you are correct. Had not done the match before acquring the dongle. Seems like a waste of money unless you don't have access to wifi.
Thanks

Why muvo v100 slower than t

I have both a G muvo v00 and a 256M muvo txfm that I copy the same mp3 files to each day from the same computer. I notice that the time it takes to copy the same file is almost 4 times longer with the v00. Is that normal? If not, what could be wrong?
Greg

The Muvo V00 does have a slower transfer speed; you're not alone
Hopefully it will be fixed, but there has been no confirmation.

Why is AAC slower than MP3 when importing?

I was getting 13x speed with MP3 (160 kb) selected, but only 8x with AAC (128). I could see a minor difference, but that seems like a big difference.
Thanks,
Alfredo

Regarding the quality of resulting tracks: AAC 128 is approx MP3 192.
Converting to AAC requires just more computing power as it results in smaller files with higher quality compared to MP3.

Why firefox is slower than chrome?

I switched to chrome because of this...

<blockquote>
The issue may be due to the difference in the page rendering technology used by Chrome and Firefox. </blockquote>
dileepkumars1: Mozilla uses Spidermonkey (written by Eich in 10 days!) for Firefox whilst Google uses their own V8 engine.
'''gedaiu''': 
Hi, sorry you're having problems with Firefox. Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
*Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

My 3G iphone seems to use slow GPRS rather than wifi, how come?

I know my wifi works fine as my pc is running of it, and my iphone was using the wifi up until a few days ago. Now my iphone seems to be using a slow GPRS connection which sometimes jumps to 3G.
It's really annoying as it's slower than wifi. It says it's connected to wifi in the settings with a full signal...but doesn't show the wifi symbol in the top left.
Please help!

How do you have settings set? If you are connected to a wifi signal and do not move, your iPad should not summarily change over to 3G, unless the wifi signal is lost or very weak. It could be when you are connected via wifi, the signal is weak, thus the turnover to 3G. If I were you, I would absolutely turn off celular data when you have a strong wifi signal and I suspect your iPad is acting as it should......

Safari is slower than Firefox - Why

Hi together,
Safari - Firefox - both Finalversion
Why is Safari slower than Firefox, both has "Werbefilter" activated. Safari runs since 2:25 h
Can someone explane that solution. Why Safari is slower than Firefox. Thank You

HI,
It can depend on how long you save your History, how many Bookmarks you have. Safari is far more secure a web browser than Firefox. Also, if you have any third party Safari plugins installed or use Safari Extensions, that can slow a browser down, or if you visit sites that stream Flash content, that can also be a factor.
Very hard to compare two browsers. One written by Apple, one written by Mozilla.
Your profile: v10.6.4. If that's the case, keep your Mac OS X software up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
Also... maintenance. Boot from your install disc once a month. Check to see if there are any errors on the startup disk that need repairing. Problems with the startup disk can definitely cause any browser problems.
Using OpenDNS or GoogleDNS can speed your browsers up. Instructions here.
Slow Safari: Speeding It Up
Safari and Firefox and Google Chrome all load pages at the same speed on v10.6.5 / Safari 5.0.3 / Firefox 3.3.6 and Chrome 9.0.597.10
