Why is the IDE so slow?

Why is the Cocoa Integrated Development Environment so slow for the iPhone?
Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
For example, when a break point is reached it frequently takes many seconds before moving the cursor over a variable will cause a popup window to occur. Under the BlackBox/Component Pascal IDE the code runs just as fast whether there is a breakpoint (HALT) or not. Breaking happens instantaneously and one can example all the variables relevant at that point without any delay.
I can edit compile and run applications within about 3 seconds (for a minor change) in BlackBox whereas with the iPhone I can get a can of soft drink from the refrigerator and drink half of it before the application commences running. N.B. I use the same machine (MacBook 2GHZ) for both development environments, one runs on the Apple side the other on the MS Windows side (Parallels Desktop).
Is the slowness due to "a whole lot of messaging going on" or what? It really slows down what I can accomplish in a day. Rather than trying 10 or 20 things I can only try 2 or 3. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
I believe that a lot of the CPU time is going to 'aids' such as syntax coloring, parenthesis matching, and a host of other behind the scene stuff that I really don't want or need.

ProjectBuilder/XCode has never been able to keep up with my typing speed no matter how much processor I throw at it; something CodeWarrior was able to do (with infinitely better syntax highlighting and code browsing) on a 100MHz Performa. It's just a nightmare project full of NeXT era cruft nobody's taken the time to clean up since it's free.

Why is the WIFI so slow on my 2011 MBP? its getting frustrating

Hi Jeff,
Can you elaborate on your issue a bit further. What is "slow" in your approximation? Tell us about the environment you're in, what type of router, band and channel. How many other wireless routers does your machine pick up? Is it slow other places with wireless or just this current location? New issue, ongoing?

Why is the library so slow to upload to iCloud?

Hi there,
After a bit of hassle getting Photos to accept all my pictures from iPhoto I thought it was all fixed and ready to go to cloud storage so that I can have the same library on iMac, Macbook Pro and my iPhone.
My photo library isn't that big, about 40Gb (4607 items) but it seems to be taking forever to upload to iCloud.
My broadband speed isn't great (Around 6.5 MBPS download and around 0.7MBPS upload) but after several days my Photo library states that it is uploading 4570 items. When i try to run photos from my macbook there are only a few photos on there.
At this rate I'll probably die of old age before all the photos are in the cloud and bounced back onto my macbook & phone.
Other than slow broadband speed and apple being busy with people like me uploading, are there any other reasons why this is taking so much time? Bad settings anywhere?
As another example my iMac has been on for a couple of hours today and the Activity monitor states that 887.2MB has been sent to the cloud. That's pretty damm slow isn't it?
Thanks

Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
says it's there, but I can't see it.
Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
I just made. Mail can't see it.
I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
pretty.
Stu,
Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
thanks,

Why is the finder so slow?

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, the Finder gets very slow to display folders and files, especially in a save window. Any idea why?

I have this problem too. The popup finder window when saving files, is really slow. Scrolling is behaving weird too.
I tried to delete the finder plist, and restarted finder with the terminal command:
killall -KILL Finder

Why is the iPad so slow on the net?

Internet (and phone etc) all on cable with nominal download speed of 60Mb (reduces a bit when going to computer via router).
Have added wireless access point (rated 300Mb) so I can connect the iPad (bought last Friday).
Connections all fine, but the browsing speed on the iPad is painfully slow. I see lots of other comments going back a year or two, so obviously Apple know about this - so why isn't it fixed yet?
I am not very clued up on the wireless system, so maybe I've missed something; I'd like to know what might be causing the iPad to be so slow compared with my PowerMac.

Went to Apple shop in town.
Assistant there said it was the provider's problem, not Apple's; she added that her own download speed was officially 12, but she only gets 4.

Why is the API so slow?

I'm using the API with PHP and it's gotten incredibly slow over the last month.
Simply getting 1 AdGroup takes 30 seconds. Get the Ads that go with the AdGroup, another 30 seconds. Update the Ad, another 60 seconds.
I'm using the PHP library for V9. My calls look like:
$proxy = $this->getClientProxy($this->campaign_service); // calls ClientProxy::ConstructWithAccountId
$request = new GetAdGroupsByIdsRequest();
$request->CampaignId = $campaign_id;
$request->AdGroupIds = array($ad_group_id);
$result = $proxy->GetService()->GetAdGroupsByIds($request);
Why is it so slow?

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out. It is unusual for these requests to take that amount of time to return. Are all of your calls consistently taking 30+ seconds to return information at this point? Are other service endpoints seeing the same
behavior (reporting, bulk, etc)? Are you running the calls via a server solution, or are they being run locally?
These details would help us to isolate where the latency might be occurring.
Thank you,
Matt

Why is the podcast section slow?

I know this is probably not a new thread, but I'm getting sick and tired of continued releases of iTunes 11 being released for Windows and nothing being done to actually fix the Podcast section of the program. Whether it's related to the podcast art or not, I'm not sure, but regardless, loading the section and each subsequent click takes between 3 and 10 seconds each time. Add to that the lack of alphabetised listing, fewer settings for podcasts in general, and I wish I didn't have to be so reliant upon iTunes for my podcasting needs.
Come on Apple, please provide a fix soon?

Podcasts are not "stored" in the iTunes Store, so - and I'm guessing here...
when a song is purchased in the iTunes Store, that download comes from the store itself and it's reasonable to assume that the list of songs is held by Apple in the store. The store will have an up-to-date list of the songs available, ready to give you at any time.
but since Podcasts are downloaded directly to your iTunes Library from the Podcast producer's host site (and not from the store), it's reasonable to assume that the iTunes Store obtains a list of the Podcast episodes only when you ask for it. That's how it's kept up-to-date. So the store has to "look outside" the store (to another computer, located who-knows-where) at the time you ask for the list of contents. That takes time, albeit a very short time.
So this almost certainly why it takes iTunes a while to display the list of Podcasts when you are searching in-store.
As for the artwork for Podcasts; again, this is the responsiblity of the Podcaster, not the iTunes Store. Artwork for commercially produced music albums is an established and accepted fact. The musicians and companies that produce the music are well versed in it. But Podcasts are completely controlled by the originator of the Podcast and are simply listed by the Store. Podcasts are often produced by individuals, or simply by people who either don't see the need for artwork, or don't have the resources to work out how to put the artwork on to their episodes. It's not that easy, believe it or not.
Apple/the iTunes Store does not "trade" the Podcasts (it doesn't "sell" them), and the store has almost no control over them.
Look on the bright side: Apple (The iTunes Store) provides you with a list of Podcasts and gives you a facility to download them into your iTunes Library and onto your iPod etc, for absolutely no cost to you. iTunes, the programme also does a fair bit of work to manage Podcasts, such as:
marking them as Skip when shuffling so thay don't play while listening to music in shuffle mode (a podcast is simply another audio file, just like your music Library);
organising them in your iTunes Library (well, in the List view, they are orgainsed. No idea what Apple had in mind with the other views!);
marks a Podcast episode as Remember playback position - incredibly useful for long speech Podcasts;
has a visual indicator to remind you when you have part-listened to a Podcast episode or fully heard it. This feature is also available on some iPods.
And before anyone says it, no, I do not think iTunes is perfect, particularly in Podcasts.
Downloaded episodes and other available (but not yet downloaded) episodes are now indistinguishable from one another. Mad!
Total unplayed episodes count now includes episodes that are not downloaded into my Library. Utter madness!
My Stations. I just don't get it!
The Podcasts App for iDevices. Well, I think my thoughts on that are best left unsaid. (The last time I looked, it still wasn't possible to create a Playlist of Podcast episodes.)

Why is the rendering process slowing right down?

Hi,
I'm rendering a 4 minute clip of Pro Res LT files, there's a few effect on it but right now I'm only rendering the video at 1/4 quality.
It starts rendering fine. Then starts to slow down, and by the time it gets to about 99.35%, it takes hours to render about 0.10 %, still rendering now, has been rendering over night, and is still on 99.54 %.
Every time it renders another frame, it adds another frame onto the amount that still needs to be rendered. And the estimated amount of time left stays about the same - between 3 and 4 minutes (not true).
I'm working on a Mac, with 4GB of RAM, but also rendering to an external hard drive that should have about 400GB free.
Help please!

ah! "locate" is a command you can use to search (inside Terminal,) though you should keep in mind that its database is only updated once a week by default, however, you can update it manually whenever you like, which takes a few minutes, using (in Terminal):
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
actually, you could always automate that by adding this to the following file: "~/.bash_profile"
[begin --don't include this line]
alias locate='if [ $((`date +%s`-`eval $(stat -s /var/db/locate.database); echo $st_mtime`)) -gt 3600 ]; then echo "locate: db is too old!">/dev/stderr; sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb; fi; locate -i'
[end --that code is all you need, and it needs to be kept together, all in one line]
f.
Note: if you need to create the file, (in Terminal) use:
touch ~/.bash_profile

Why is the macbook so slow at opening pages on the internet ?, Why is the macbook so slow at opening pages on the internet ?

Just got my Macbook this week and was looking forward to the "lightening" fast MAc I had heard of. It is not so ! My old PC wa faster an cost about a quarter of the price !! Am I doing something wrong ?

How much RAM do you have? Is it maxed out? MBP faster when not on the net?
Which browser & version are you using? Could be a browser you're having?
Update your OS. Your system profile confirms you are still using OS 10.8. Use the App Store to see if there is any other software you need to install.
MBP slow wireless and/or through ethernet?
Any devices connected to your MBP?

Why is the internet so SLOW????

My Jetpack connection is so slow it is maddening. Half the time we can't even complete a task.

Normal troubleshooting steps for a Jetpack are to perform the various resets:
1. Power cycle the device
2. Remove SIM card for 30 seconds
3. Press the Restore Defaults button
Be sure to test the connection speeds each time starting with 1 and working your way down. If you would like more specific steps then be sure to post your Jetpack model number.
When the resets to not resolve the problem then you need to determine if the Jetpack is having a hardware problem or if the performance is service related in your area. Try the resets first and we can help you with the rest later.

Why is the unlock so slow now?

For a week or so (i would guess it coincides with the latest iPod software update) my iPod has been slow to unlock after moving the slider. What used to be almost instant now takes 5-10 seconds. What is going on?
i've already reset the entire iPod and that did not fix it.
also, podcasts are getting lost since the update. they now show up under other in a category that's either blank or just called the wrong thing.
but the unlock is the worst. can anyone help me?

i've already reset the entire iPod and that did not fix it.
If you mean you restored the iPod, that is not the same as a reset.
Try resetting: Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You won't lose any data as a result of resetting your device.

Why is the query so slow?

Hi,
I've got a query running fast (3 sec.)
If I try to execute it on test enviroment, it takes about 2 minutes (!)
I see in both enviroments the explain plan is the same and so are the indexes used. I've also tried to rebuild the indexes and the tables that looked quite fragmented in test, but the result is always the same. Could it be that our test enviroment is slower and with lower performances? What else could I check? (Oracle Vers. is 8.1.7)
Thanks!

Why is the table so slow?

When using a table with a large number of cells (e.g. 20 columns and 800 rows the table becomes very slow. Is there a way to speed up?

Probably that problem is that you haven't created any data dependency between writing to the property node and executing the main loop. If you place a sequence structure around the writing to the property node to make sure that it happens before executing the loop it should help. See example. hope this helps.
