Re: Slow down -- log file posted: 10 sec view change

(1/3) > >>

RobOK:
I started writing a post about how MC12 was slow for me, but then I went to check for a pattern and things were fast.

Sometimes I have a long startup, but most times fast.

Sometimes changing views (Audio --> IMage) I have a 10 second wait, but other times under 1 second for same transition.

I thought it was thumbnails, so I rebuilt all.

It still happens sometimes, but hard to see pattern.  Does MC12 do some caching so that the first time I might do something it is loading a cache into memory and then if I repeat it works with the cache?  I am just guessing here but I definitely have some slow spots.

Thanks,
R.

darichman:
I have had similar issues:
--> Can confirm that startup time is erratic (quick sometimes, up to 30s others)
--> Changing views always lags a bit for me, but the extent to which slowdown occurs seems to fluctuate (and does not seem to be related to complexity of the view schemes or anything)

I do have a rather slow machine, but some things seem to take ages and at other times, the same tasks are done rather quickly... Have tried disabling antivirus (as some threads suggest) but no effect.

Could this be related to the folder watch or something?

Disabling may not be enough.  Uninstalling may be worth trying.

Are there any network or USB drives that are slow to respond?

RobOK:
For me:


no watched folders

No anti-virus issues that I am aware of (but will look at other threads)

USB drives -- yes, but not sure how I can pinpoint this.  I have one drive that is sometimes flakey, have been slowly migrating off of it, I will see how much is left on it and if that might be the problem, although MC 11.1 has no slowdowns related to that.

Thanks.

No network to speak of...
And no USB drives.

Might consider uninstalling antivirus if this becomes too much of an issue, but reinstalling all updates/virus definitions etc takes a fair bit of time for me (slow connection)... Will probably wait til my next reformat :)
