First to slow down to a crawl

• Firefox slows down to a crawl while the sync of bookmarks

  Whenever I add, modify, move, or delete a bookmark, Firefox slows down to a crawl for a few seconds, whereas Sync does its thing. I know that Sync is the question because I added the sync icon to the toolbar and see it light up and spin and Firefox is unusable whenever I have change a bookmark. This is probably because I have a ridiculous number of bookmarks: probably in the range of 10-20 000.

  Despite these problems, Sync did a good job of synchronizing bookmarks between my computer and makes it easier for me to finish my work, so I would like to continue using it. My bookmarks file acts as a search engine mini for the things that I found useful/interesting. deletion of bookmarks or using a very stripped down bookmarks file really does not solve my problem here.

  I already googled until exhaustion, and set services.sync.autoconnect to false in: config, but that didn't seem to do anything. This solution might work but is not very handy: http://superuser.com/a/818726/362951

  Is it possible I can turn off Auto-Sync synchronization after each change bookmark? I'd like to be able to synchronize ONLY when I click the 'Sync' button in my toolbar in FF.

  Sync chooses when synchronize based on a combination of the last hour of synchronization and the amount of change that has occurred. You can actually turn off the synchronization (except you can still manually synchronize) by changing these values.

  1. go into "subject: config.

  2. Enter "services.sync.syncInterval" in the search box. It's the amount of time (in 1/1000 of a second) that synchronize waits between synchronizations. If you want to sync never synchronize after a while, change for something big like '999999999999999999999999 '.

  3. Enter "services.sync.syncThreshold" in the search box. It is the amount of change that must take place between synchronizations. 300 represents a bookmark and is also the default, so by default, sync will sync whenever you add a bookmark. If you want to synchronize only after 2 bookmarks, change it to 600, etc.. If you want to never synchronize, also change it for a very large number.

  Note: there is always a possibility sync may synchronize automatically some time, but it is extremely rare.

• CP5: audio is slowed down to a crawl when published

  I have audio problems to export correctly in a captivate presentation, that I recently converted to Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. EVERY bit of audio throughout the entire the presentation has been slowed. Inside Captivate, all played at the right speed, but once it has previewed or published, all audio games to speed about half (with comical effects). The rest of the presentation plays at the appropriate speed.

  Is it possible to fix this? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

  Hi rt,.

  Genius! Thanks for your workflow - it worked like a charm on my Captivate 2 (Yes 2!)  project. I have not used CP since 2007, but need it now.

  I left step 8 - I'll let Adobe work on the financial terms of your reward.

• Mouse on movieclips a lot slows down to a crawl

  I have a system where hundreds of similar clips ('parts') can be dragged around in a region ('dragArea') of the mouse. I have performance problems.
  
  When you start to drag a piece, it jumps to the top of the depths, it seems above all others. All parts are dynamically created with createEmptyMovieClip. They are all attached to the dragArea.
  
  My problem is that the movement is very slow. The slipped part updates of position very rarely; only when you stop moving the mouse. I think it's just because I have so many movieclips, but if I attach one of the pieces to _root and drag, then, he hangs out very quickly. That is, if I drag the outside of dragArea, then it is fast. But as soon as I have move it on dragArea, then it becomes slow.
  
  This suggests that the Flash made some redraw complex when I drag a piece on dragArea. I've tried to set cacheAsBitmap to true for dragArea, but that has no effect.
  
  I also tried to reduce the number of parts one or two. This makes everything fast again.
  
  Does anyone know why it would become very slow when you drag a piece on dragArea that contains many other parts?
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  have you tried upateAfterEvent while dragging?
  a lot of times that softens the considerbly of animation...

  could it be that his calulating too deep because of all the other parts?
  maybe try to set the depth of 0 (zero) for the dragged object, instead of getNextHighestDepth...
  If that's what you do... =)

• Since the last update, whenever I have multiple windows or tabs open for more than 10 minutes, Firefox slows down to a crawl or stops responding completely.

  no further details

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Why my PC slow down to a crawl when VMware Player is the suspension to the .vmem file?

  My PC becomes almost unusable when VMware Player prepares his State record to .vmem file. VMware Player is delegate the task to C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe process. When we look in the Manager tasks, I see that the CPU usage is just 5.10% and the memory usage is around 40%, which is normal for me. When I open resource monitor, I see that ntoskrnl.exe is written extensively to the VMware .vmem file. From writing to the disk stops, my PC immediately snaps back to normal.

  I scanned the disc for errors and the performance issues with HDTune, I tested the RAM with memtest. Everything is normal, no errors, drive performance is approximately 110 MB/s. I have antivirus (Avira free) and I don't know that there is a legitimate ntoskrnl.exe Windows process. With the exception of this problem, my PC worked rock stable for three years.

  Why write on a hard drive that is not my OS drive affects the overall performance of a PC so and what can do to solve the problem? Also I don't understand, why suspending the hard .vmem file so long?

  My virtual machine has 8 Windows as a guest operating system. It has 4 GB of RAM. After I suspend the virtual machine, my host PC is trolling for about 10-15 minutes which seems far too long a little writing 4 GB of memory to the .vmem file status. I also tried VM VirtualBox with the same guest OS and 4 GB of RAM and it suspends a lot sooner and don't drag my PC after that. Also if I move the files in Windows Explorer on the same drive, it has this issue. It seems so VMware Player or ntoskrnl.exe is something too aggressive.

  
  

  Here are the specs of my host computer:

  CPU: Intel i3 2120 
  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67A-USB3-B3 
  RAM: 8GB 
  Hard disks: 
  OS and system disk - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  Data disk (which causes the slowdowns): Seagate ST31000528AS 1000 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional with SP1, updated regularly
  
  

  With the virtual machine off (non-suspended), try adding the following configuration option to the .vmx file:

  mainMem.writeZeroes = TRUE

• Instant Fusion 3.1.2 autoprotect slows down my Mac Pro to a crawl

  Whenever the merger takes a 'snapshot of autoprotect' virtual machine Windows 7 (2 GB of RAM, 2 processors) running Mac OS 10.6.7 on my Mac Pro 2.8 GHz Dual Quad Core (6 GB physical RAM), the Mac user interface slows down to a crawl. Command + Tab through all open applications, launch of new applications, updating the data displayed in the activity monitor all are affected, as it is the interaction of the user with other Mac applications. for example, the navigation in Firefox 3.6.17.

  Any suggestions what I could do? Options may include:

  1. Moving to FF 4
  2. Increase the physical RAM in the Mac
  3. Changing the configuration of the virtual machine (less than carrots, less RAM)
  4. Dumping FF altogether as my default browser and back to Safari.
  5. Do my snapshots, autoprotect only in the middle of the night (but that would mean letting the VM running when I have no need for anything either).

  Is this a problem well known with the known solutions or workarounds? I tried some forum research but did not come with anything. Thank you very much.

  With 2 GB of RAM assigned to the virtual machine, the snapshot creates a 2 GB file that remains in the current state.

  Regarding your question on what to do. I would add the option 6. Disable Autoprotect and create a snapshot if necessary and while the virtual machine is turned off. Make sure that you back up the virtual computer on an external drive. AutoProtect is no replacement backup!

• Response of mouse slows down when editing

  It is a continuation of a discussion dated dated August 21, 2011 16:26 with suggestions of Bill Gehrke and John Smith, who has recommended how I could speed up edition and made my PC i7 and suggestions to solve the slow response of the mouse .

  My problem:

  After that several clicks of the mouse, the first quick reactions from first Pro CS5 are starting to slow down to a crawl.

  My PC:

  -ASUS P6TWS Professional Motherboard

  -Intel Core i7 920 CPU

  -12 GB OF DDR3 1333 RAM

  -4 HD 1 TB

  -Video card ATI RADEON 4670 1

  -Coolermaster 690 case separate real power 700W

  -LG BlueRay writer

  -Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0

  -Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000

  Recommendations:

  1. Disable indexing on your hard drives.
  2. Try wired keyboard and mouse (old style, no USB) with the generic driver for Win7.
  3. Try disabling the two security programs.
  4. Do not use boot drive for what anyone (editing wise) but the OS and applications. Sale video project and media on another quick of HDD or a table.
  5. Try another (more recent AND older) driver for your ATI card.

  Status of the above numbered items:

  1. Indexing is disabled on all drives used for video editing.
  2. The Asus P6T WS Pro motherboard has a combo keyboard and mouse PS2 Connector.  I was trying to use an old PS2 Keyboard and mouse PS2 to replace the Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse.  This would require a PS2 PS2 male/2 female adapter.  Information on the Internet shows that there is 2 pins to spare on a standard PS2.  These 2 spare pins are used on connectors PS2 combo for the mouse clock and data which I assume is the case for the ASUS motherboard.  This requires a special adapter where regular clock pins and the date the female to PS2 Keyboard and pins of alternatives to the female to PS2 Mouse.  I couldn't so far find such an adapter.
  3. I need to use the Internet for updates of program so I would disconnect the LAN to disable security for the trial.  If security is the issue, I guess it would be to disconnect the LAN and disabling security whenever I'm editing video.
  4. I have 1 TB disks 3 other than the boot drive, one for each video source, audio source and output rendered.  I think that the reader audio source would be best to share with the project file because the audio files are not as demanding on the CPU if treated earlier in Soundbooth.
  5. I'll try different drivers.

  As recommended, the first Pro Benchmark I ran against my i7 PC to conclude that performance was close to the other similarly configured PCs. This confirms that I am dealing with problems of the outdoor unit.  In this case, the interaction of the mouse when editing is the likely suspect.  I'll try a second run after the changes.  I don't know how the files originate in the testbed among my 4 hard drives so that the results may not indicate a better distribution of readers.

  Does anyone can tell where I can get a combo reliable adapter PS2?  Do not share the drive audio source with the project file a better choice than the readers of rendered files or video source?

  John

  > solved by replacing the laser mouse with a PS2 Mouse Wireless

  Just guessing here... but my 'better thinking' is that your problem is not the material of the mouse, but the the mouse software that created the wireless link was not totally compatible with 'something' in Adobe software

  Another option could be a USB mouse

• VTEncoderXPCService the process using 100% CPU, slowing down of the MacBook Pro to a crawl

  I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on my mid-2009, 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo 13 - inch MacBook Pro, updated updated to 8 GB of RAM. For these last days, a process called 'VTEncoderXPCService' has been constantly running like crazy on my Mac, using about 150% CPU. This slows down my Mac to a crawl, especially Safari, where I usually end up with beach balls every 20 to 40 seconds. I need help [figure out what is the cause, as my Mac is basically unusable because of the drop in performance.

  This is a background process that converts the video in a photo or iMovie library. If an iOS device is connected, please disconnect. In the iCloud system preferences pane, uncheck that marked Photos. The activity should stop.

• End of Cup Video Clip off the power when send you first Pro CC 2014 to effects after 2014 CC and I slowed down with Timewarp?

• kernel_task slow down the new iMac 27 "5K to a crawl

  I've owned my new iMac (OSX El Capitan 10.11.4) for more than 4 months now and have had no complaints other than those sometimes caused by the limited installed 8 GB of memory (an upgrade to 32 GB is on order).  Suddenly last week, I noticed my machine slows down considerably and heats up. Check activity monitor, I have seen that kernel_task took 200 to 400% of the CPU.  Despite the heat, I noticed that I could not hear the fan running, so I downloaded Mac Fan Control indicating the fan did not work - I took it in the center of authorized Service Apple and they confirmed that indeed the fan did not work and ordered me a new one that I expect.  I'm not sure that the fan has never worked - as I remember ever heard - I naively thought the new iMacs are just quieter.

  In the meantime, I'm trying to understand what is causing the problem kernel_task.   I noticed it uses very little CPU on most boot-up until I have load Lightroom (I'm a photographer and use this app heavily) after which zoomed up to more than 200% kernel_task, video playback has the same effect.   However, if I use only my browser for the e-mail and listening to iTunes kernel_task remains down on the only figure of % CPU and machine stay cool.   The person I talked to Apple's Service said she has seen this before and the solution was to do a clean reinstall of the operating system.   I want to save as a last resort - after setting of the fan and installing more memory.    I wonder if heat build-up missing a fan has an effect on kernel_task or help to have more memory?  In any case this is the report of EtreCheck:

• MacBook Pro slows down to a halt when plugged via magsafe.

  Hey guys.

  I had this strange problem lately, which started about 2 weeks ago.

  My Macbook Pro works perfectly as it is not plugged into the magsafe adapter.

  At the time wherever he is plugged in, it slows down to almost a halt with hiccups etc beach ball. From the MBP place goes from 15 to 20 seconds (unplugged) to 3-5 minutes (connected with magsafe)

  Now, I thought initially it was a hardware problem, but then I did a complete reformat and reinstall:

  I actually did 3 reformats full (the first two I have zero'ed my data) AND reset the SMC and the PRAM twice:

  The first reformat and reinstall brought back my MBP of El capitan to Snow Leopard. Meanwhile, first to reformat and reinstall the system, it may have showed signs of it still be afflicted by this slowness and beach ball gasp he showed before the reformat and reinstall. I kept the first reformat and reinstall for maybe 30 minutes in which I decided to reformat and reinstall once again, that I did not like the name of the Home folder.

  The second reformat and reinstall, I did notice one problem with the system, in fact it was running flawless both disconnected and connected via magsafe. I pulled up to the PS4 and played a few BF4 while I downloaded and reinstalled all the updates, then I upgraded to El Capitan. After all was said and done, I was reading how you can do a clean install of El Capitan via a USB port. I wanted to try this, so I downloaded a copy of El Capitan to a USB stick with the manufacturer of disc X and a then reformat (no zero out as starting program with El Capitan does not have it), and did a clean install of El Capitan.

  I didn't restore from back up or anything, the only thing I did was download all my iCloud data, like photos and songs etc. My system worked perfectly for about a week since the reformatting and reinstalling. He had no problem with the connected system or not.

  Now, a week later, the same problem slipped immediately came out of nowhere and the system works like crap when it is plugged. It takes 3-5 minutes to start, instead of 15 to 20 seconds when it is not plugged in. Also keep in mind, this is a new reinstall where I don't have any what garbage on my system. I didn't yet to reinstall all the games on my MBP, or anything like that, and in my opinion, this is one very bare reinstall OS. The total memory used is like 150 concerts against 350 before my first reformat and reinstall.

  So, I'm to the point where I'm racking my brain trying to figure out whether it is a hardware problem. Since the system ran a good week without this post question reformat and reinstall, it makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem. But on the flip side, since I did a reformat and reinstall, it can't be a problem of software either, especially since I didn't install anything the night before this problem appeared.

  My only hope to address this problem is I hope one of you had the same problem and have a solution. If not, it seems that I might need to get a new MBP this fall, which would be a shame this system ran flawlessly and fluidly before this annoying problem.

  Thanks in advance for any input.

  Since you mentioned the snow leopard, I understand that the MBP is an older model (2009 or almost?)... What is the status of the battery? https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201585

• When I open too many windows, Firefox slows down

  I use Firefox for ever and I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. As far as I know, that nothing has changed on my end, but Firefox started running slowly after opening the windows of. How I usually use the program and have done for years, is to open pages in a lot of different windows and close them as needed. This does usually cause no problems and I can leave the program running for days at a time, works perfectly well.

  Last week however, something changed. Now when Firefox starts up first, it works very well, as expected, but then after a period of time, usually in a day, sometimes within a few hours, it starts sensational "gunked upward." At this point, when I try to load a page in a new window, instead of load instantly, there a second or two, during which I can not move to any other Firefox window, but all other running programs work very well. This State continues and grows slower and slower to load new pages, until I closed and reopened Firefox, then the cycle repeats.

  Again, this is a new situation, my normal behavior would not normally cause this kind of slowdown even after a week or more of continuous service. I ran a control of viruses and malware, without success control on either and other programs are not affected. I tried to restart as well, but the problem came back shortly after. I also turned off most of my modules, including those that have worked well for months or years, and still no change, it slogs always down after some time. My Firefox is also currently up-to-date, of course (27.0.1).

  What is going on?

  OK, I put some time in troubleshooting and think that I thought about it. After going in and out of safe mode several times, I reduced to a problem with Adblock Plus. With him in the distance, I could open a ton of windows, with it on this subject would begin to slow. A quick workaround solution was that if I went in the menu of the Addon whenever he began to slow down and disabled Adblock and transformed then turn it back on, it would reset the downturn, but I went to their own support site and came across people with the same problem solved by picking up a beta version of the addon. Since the installation, I got no problems.
