Why is Pages first launch so slow?

When I launch Pages for the first time, it takes a long while before the program actually launches (it is almosty instantaneous on second launch). I was wondering why the inital launch is so slow and if anyone knew a fix to this. I was used to a rather snappier iWork in the prior edition.
Thank you!

My guess is that it's due to the new architecture of the iWork package.
In old versions, quite all resources used by one component where stored in the component's package.
This structure was HD space consuming but allow a "fast" load.
With iWork '09 a new structure appear: the three applications are sharing a huge set of resources.
As the files aren't stored in the same HD area, this may explain why the new version requires more time at first run.
Of course, after that, most of the app is loaded so the app starts quickly.

Why is the first lookup() relatively slow?

Hello hello,
I am doing load testing on an LDAP server right now. The first call to lookup() is an order of magnitude slower that subsequent lookup() calls over the same Context instance. Why?
I create a few instances of Context using Sun's InitialContext factory. I loop through a few lookup() requests over each of those Contexts. The first lookup takes 800 milliseconds, and all subsequent lookups take less than 20 milliseconds.
I believe that this has nothing to do with socket operations because I don't start the lookup thread until after its Context has been created. I've also checked the BER buffers sent and received by the LDAP provider, and verified that the security authentication is complete before I start timing the lookup.
Finally, I've also ensured that server-side caching does not cause subsequent requests to speed up.
This might have something to do with the operation of the particular LDAP server I'm using, OpenLDAP.
Has anybody else noticed similar behavior by a Context?

Im also having a similar problem. It takes about 1.2 seconds to create the InitialDirContext object.
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env); //takes about 1.2 sec
Im using eDirectory (Novell Directory Service). Im using 'simple' authentication and Im suppling the ID and password in the environment variables.
Did you find out anything?

Help ! why does the first launch of a report take so much time ??

Hi,
We have a big trouble when we try to open a report from Planning. the first report we launch take a very long time before opening (3-4 minutes !!).
after that, the opening time is very satisfying for all the reports (10-30 seconds, depends of the report)
Have you ever encountered this kind of situation ?
thanks for your help !
Virgile.

Looks as though nobody has any ideas and as you have not given any details of your Mac or FCP X workflow it's not surprising.
For a start, without knowing any details, you could try trashing the preferences with

Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally?

I hope I'm submitting this properly, I apologize if this irritates anyone because of improper etiquette. Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally? This is a condition which seemed to start just recently and abruptly. These applications reside on, and are launched from the startup drive, not from a network drive. Also, we have a NAS drive on the LAN that we connect to that also takes a minute or two to mount, when it used to (before this problem) mount on the desktop in a matter of about 5 seconds. We have three identical Mac Pros on the LAN, and they all have this problem when launching and using the above mentioned applications. When I physically unplug the network cable from the Mac, all applications launch instantly and function normally. I know very little about networks, so I can't begin to test or change any setting pertaining to our network - if that is where the problem lies. The only recent change to our network situation is that we lost or our internet and phone service due to massive flooding here in Minot, North Dakota (our ISP tells us the communication lines are under water and shorting out). But shouldn't our LAN still function even though we have lost our connection to the outside world? Thanks so much, in advance, for helping me solve this problem. Sheldon.

Hi there.
A slow LAN can have many things so its going slow.
1) is your lan 1gbit speed? (full duplex)
2) are the macs also 1Gbit speed? (full duplex)
3) does your nas has a firewall? (so you can see what the mac asking there)
4) on the macs is the firewall on? (does the programms can pass the fw?)
5) how big is the nas and how many files/dirctorys are on the nas? (big folders speeds down )
many questions, but sometimes there is a solution.

Launching application first time too slow

Hi
I installed 32bit Arch on my Acer Travelmate 5744Z laptop few days ago. Before I used Arch Linux on my desktop PC for years. There everything works fine, but on laptop after the boot launching applications first time is really slow for example chromium needs more than 5 sec. Boot process is fast, I have no problem with it. I read this and hdparm gives more than 40 MB/s. After first launch they works fine. I tried to use preload but no changes. I have a problem with MOC player too... I really like this player but starting play is slow too and needs a few second. I use it with autonext and shuffle and after starting song change is without any problem. But if I stop it play starts very slow again....
Any idea what should I do?
Thanks in advance

Why is pages running so slow?

Why is my pages app typing so slow?
My Mac is only about one month old. My language arts teacher wants us to create a seven page sequel to a book that we have recently read. I use pages for this, but I noticed that it began getting slower and slower, now it's to the point where it is sentences behind. Is there anyway that I can fix this?

What version of Pages?
What version of OSX?
Is it the only application running slow?
Is it just the one document that is running slow?
Is your document just text or does it have other objects, how many?
Have you added any large images?
How much free RAM and Hard Drive space do you have?

Why is my macbook air so slow?

why is my macbook air so slow?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
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.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, 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 4
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.

@dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that? I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under
Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
were somehow the same, after I released everything I didnt have to press power button separately (step5), the mac started already (after step4)
@Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:

why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Pages is operating very SLOW

why so slow???
eg. typing, selecting.. etc
anyone else have this problem?
is it just my RAM?
I have relaunched pages several times..

No, my machine is only a few months old and I haven't messed with it at all.
Everything in my document is pretty much all standard stuff also. I don't see why there would be any problems.
My situation is exactly as described by the first respondent. Slow when typing/selecting in tables that have Object Placement as 'Inline'.. which is a pretty standard set-up that I'm sure many people have. But speed is fine if table is 'Floating' or when I am typing outside the table.
Specifically:
- My document is portrait orientation
- Includes some Greek characters(α, β, γ, etc.), some arrows and a .tiff image as well as superscripted and subscripted text
- Fonts are standard
but I don't see why any of this should have any effect as the program should easily be able to handle this.

Submit page before launching report link

When I define a link on a column in a report region declaratively (using Report Attributes) and point it to the same page (or another page), it creates the link using a URL redirect type of thing. The current page is not submitted before launching the new page.
This is causing me grief since changes on my page that the launched link needs are not stored in session state. How can I submit the current page before launching the link?
Thanks

Vikas,
Redirecting is no different from clicking on any hyperlink anywhere on the web, a link doesnât submit form data, it just goes to another page and might set some data via URL. But form data is not submitted. If you want to have your form data sent to the server, you need to submit an HTML form. HTML DB lets you do that e.g. by calling doSubmit. But this doSubmit call must not be accompanied by a redirect. Just a plain submit, and a branch that lets you define where to go next (e.g. same page). So setting any values via URL will not work when submitting the page. Submitting calls wwv_flow.accept, not f?p. This is why you need to set a form item (page item) on the client via Java Script first before calling doSubmit so that you can referebce that form item later to identify the proper row in your report. To give you an example, just take a look at how I implemented to reports attributes page. Edit any report, go to reports attributes and look at the report that shows your columns. Thereâs an edit icon on each row. Hover over with your mouse and note that this calls Java Script: setColumnIDAndSubmit. Look at the HTML code, find that function and look how it sets a page item value to the current column ID.

I get a message saying: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". HELP!!

Hi i have an iMac with 10.9.3 and when i tried to open a PDF link or a PDF document in Safari 7.0.4 this message appears: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". What can i do to solve this?

Back up all data before making any changes.
Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in the preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Why is Pages first launch so slow?
