Why is importing so slow

I did my first upload from a full 8GB and 16GB CF card.   It is taking FOREVER.  Where this used to take maybe 5-10min.   Its now taking like an hour or more.  This just happened after I upgraded to 3.2.1.

Could you mention why the speeds are different per song?
Speeds are approximate based on how much has converted so far, and how much file is left.
Also, the complexity of the file has a large bearing on conversion time.
So too does the format type of the file, (someone else mentioned this).
Read errors require the pc to check and check again before moving on. This may have been part of your original problem. Sometimes removing the disc and cleaning can make a big difference.
Read speed varies across the disc from the hub to the edge, as the 'table of contents' file located near the hub needs to be cross-referenced regularly to locate the file contents. As the transport of the read head takes time from the centre to the edge, and this process needs to be repeated, it takes a lot longer near the edge to access a file. This is similar with a hard drive that is near full.

  • Why does Photoshop keep slowing down?

    I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.
    What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. Every couple months it seems to decide to be perfectly fine or just really annoying. I didn't change anything in my computer.
    It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.
    OS - Windows 7 64-bit
    CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
    RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

    There is no malware scanner running, in fact I have tried closing out all other applications and unnecessary processes to help improve performance. No luck.
    Also, my post actually wasn't quite finished, but my internet shut off on me last night and I guess that just automatically posted whatever I had done before then. What's even better is that the forums won't allow me to edit it. What great features!
    Anyway, here's the FULL spec sheet of my computer...
    OS - Windows 7 64-bit
    CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
    RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
    GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
    Storage - 1x 128GB SSD (OS installed on), 1x 750GB HDD, 1x 160GB HDD
    I have the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, installed on the SSD. Here's the settings I have in the preferences:
    Memory Usage - 100%
    Scratch Disks - All 3, SSD 1st, 750GB HDD 2nd, 160GB HDD 3rd
    History States - 100
    Cache Levels - 8
    Cache Tile Size - 1028K
    I have fiddled with these settings and restarted Photoshop countless times. In the end it's the same exact result: Photoshop slows down after a few minutes of work and I have to restart it. I have about 50GB free on the SSD, 150GB free on the 750GB, and about 140GB free on the 160GB.
    I don't understand why it gets so slow even when my RAM usage only makes it up to about 45%. Why doesn't it just utilize ALL of the memory like I told it to?
    I've tried setting cache to 1, 2, and 4, same result. Cache tile size to all the different settings, same result. History states to an extremely low level like 10, same result. I just don't understand why Photoshop is doing this, especially because it decides to speed up on its own every couple of months...

  • IDOC and RFC why to import.?

    Hi folks,
       Can anyone explain why to import RFC and IDOC objects from the R/3 system to which we are communicating. Is the reason is only due to its complex datatype structure.? Then why do they have different NAMESPACE, and how/when it is generated.?
    Correct me if i am wrong.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas Reddy.

    R/3 & PI both systems works on ABAP Stack during these communications.
    We need interface for R/3, so we can use structure of IDoc & RFC, exists on R/3 system.
    If you will create your own structure, it is difficult.
    Also you will define that structure on R/3 also, as at that time R/3 does not know your structure.
    So it is easy to use existing structures of RFC & IDoc.
    Namespaces are system generated. These depends on object & its version.

  • Aperture Import Extremely Slow

    Hi all,
    I recently inherited an iPad from my dad, and before I could erase and sync it with my computer I had to get all the photos off. There are about 10 GB worth of photos on the iPad, so I understand why that would go slow. But I checked, and an event which had seven pictures in it took close to 30 minutes. Any ideas?
    -Torin

    I would have plugged-in first (with its authorized computer), then went to the photo tab and unchecked the sync button..ie, sync no photos.

  • Why Portal will be slow when we work on Theme Editor

    Hi Experts,
    Why Portal will be slow when we work on Theme Editor in Creating new Theme or modifying existing one.
    Note: Since i have done Branding for 6 to 7 Clients i fell same , portal runs very slow.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    use the Eclipse Theme Editor. No need to be logged on in the portal, hence: faster. You'll only have to upload the theme afterwards to the portal.

  • Generally speaking import is slower than export. Right ?

    DB version : 11.2, 10.2
    Because of the extra validations like Foreign key, ...etc, , Isn't import usually slower than export ?
    If yes, By what percentage will it be slower for a regular dump which has 'regular' tables without LOB, CLOB.. etc ?

    I can not think of any situation where export will be faster. Export just reads the dictionary and grabs information. Import needs to create all of the objects. For indexes, it needs to build the indexes, which can take lots of time.
    As for how much more time... it is pretty much impossible to say. If you have indexes, it could take a long time to build indexes, it really depends on what objects are in the dump file. If you have statistics of subpartitioned tables, recreating all of those statistics could take a long time. How busy is your system/db. If not too busy, you could try the parallel option of Data Pump to use multiple processes to get the job done a little faster.

  • Why on import are Nikon D800 files changed to clarity +100 vibrance +35 ?

    Why on import are Nikon D800 files changed to clarity +100 vibrance +35 ? Preset are set to not change anything. Camera set to vivid LR 5

    It seems to me that either you have a preset involved that you're not aware of, or else somewhere along the line you have inadvertently changed your default settings. Because Lightroom doesn't do that automatically on its own, by default.

  • Why is internett so slow with Airport express???

    Hi!
    I have a mac mini and a pc.
    I sometimes think that my mac mini is so slow when I use Internett.
    There is a norwegian page that I have tested it on... and the answere was alarmin:
    My pc had a connection of: about 4000 kbit/s connected to wireless and airport express... and about 6000 with out wireless.... hmmmm I tested it many times...
    My mac mini (which is in my livingroom) had a connection at only 919 kbit/s????
    why is it sooooooo slow???? can I do anything to speed it up????

    Great Henry,
    That was great advice, I have been unofficially been working in WiFi for my school and this is one of the most clear responces I've seen from discussions. Anyways some things that I do believe that you forgot was cordless phones 2.4Ghz range, microwave ovens, DSS (Direct Satellite Service), Electrical things like power lines, Other airport/WiFi stations, and moving objects made of metal between the computer and base station. Those are all broad things. Usually things like that won't effect it but it really depends. For the cordless phone you just need to change the channel on the airport. I hope that helps, Good Luck!

    PS I have found that sometimes its just plain wackey, usually cause of wires and such things in the walls
