• Adding fields to a Manager slows down application

  Is there a reason why adding fields to a Manager directly slows my application?

  In the constructor of my screen, I loop and add 200 LabelFields.  This causes the user interface is very slow.

  However, if I loop and add fields to a temporary VerticalFieldManager and then add only the Manager screen, works fast.

  The disadvantage of this approach is that the user will not be able to see the added both fields.

  I am surprised that I did not notice this earlier.

  Here's the slow code:

  import net.rim.device.api.system.Application;import net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager;import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ButtonField;import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.LabelField;import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.VerticalFieldManager;
  
  public class TestScreen extends MainScreen {
  
    private static final int NUM_ROWS = 200;
  
      VerticalFieldManager outerRowManager;
  
     public TestScreen() {     super();
  
          ButtonField runBackgroundButton = new ButtonField("Background") {         protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {             new BackgroundThread();               return true;          }     };
  
        outerRowManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
  
         add(runBackgroundButton);     add(outerRowManager); }
  
     public class BackgroundThread {
  
       public BackgroundThread() {           (new WorkerThread()).start();     }
  
         private class WorkerThread extends Thread {
  
           public void run() {
  
               for (int i = 0; i < NUM_ROWS; i++) {
  
                   synchronized (Application.getEventLock()) {                       outerRowManager.add(new LabelField("ROW " + i, LabelField.FOCUSABLE));                    }             }         }
  
         } }}
  

  And here is the quick code:

  import net.rim.device.api.system.Application;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ButtonField;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.LabelField;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.VerticalFieldManager;
  
  public class TestScreen extends MainScreen {
  
      private static final int NUM_ROWS = 200;
  
      VerticalFieldManager outerRowManager;
  
      public TestScreen() {
          super();
  
          ButtonField runBackgroundButton = new ButtonField("Background") {
              protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
                  new BackgroundThread();
                  return true;
              }
          };
  
          add(runBackgroundButton);
      }
  
      public class BackgroundThread {
  
          public BackgroundThread() {
              (new WorkerThread()).start();
          }
  
          private class WorkerThread extends Thread {
  
              public void run() {
  
                  outerRowManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
  
                  for (int i = 0; i < NUM_ROWS; i++) {
                      outerRowManager.add(new LabelField("ROW " + i, LabelField.FOCUSABLE));
                  }
  
                  synchronized (Application.getEventLock()) {
                      add(outerRowManager);
                  }
  
              }
  
          }
      }
  }
  

  The answer is actually quite simple. Every time that you add a field to a Manager, updateLayout() is called. In the first example, you already added "outerRowManager" to the screen and it was posted until you start adding LabelFields. In the second example you add fields to the Manager until the Manager has been added to the screen and displayed. Its always faster to add bottom up (onscreen Manager fields)... In addition, you are synchronizing with the interface thread user 200 times compared to 1 time.

• Slowness and Spinning Beachball dead in Safari / Mail

  Mail is extremely slow to start and download the mail in the first run of the day.

  Safari will launch but often will block upward / beach balls. The error messages are extremely long and I don't think I can post them here. However, they talk about a lot of "stacks".

  I have a Mac Mini 2.3 ghz intel core i7, DDR3 4 GB 1600 Mhz, El Capitan 10.11.6 running memory.

  I ran Etrecheck and will post that below, in the hope that this will help identify something inherited weird, that I can get rid.

  If you think it's just that I'm old and slow computer, also let me know that.

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

• mid-2010 iMac slower afer is upgraded to El Capitan

  Hi all

  I ran EtreCheck (thanks Allan!); details below.

  Also ran AHT & it showed no problems

  I installed an SSD in December machine considered fast - then installed El Capitan and he slowed, & I think it's gotten worse in recent weeks.

  Symptoms:

  • delays of beach ball
  • Some applications and files are very slow to open
  • using bluetooth keyboard & mouse - cursor seems to get hung up in emails, etc. (& same jumps around tasks randomly once in a while - JUST started using the mouse & keyboard cable; so far, not sure they are better.)
  • using iCloud for most documents.  The files are slow to open, but Cnet speed test shows that 20-30 MB/s download speed.

  I do not know is that a "clean install", but I had no problem (obvious) El Cap installation.

  With the SSD and 20 GB of RAM, this machine should always work for some time, Yes?

  Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

  The only obvious thing that I see is that your RAM is installed incorrectly. It should be in pairs, your is wrong in pairs. The Bank 0 and Bank 1 should have identical RAM installed.   You also have a very old version of Parallels installed. If you use Windows yet then upgrade of Parallels and if you uninstall according to the developers.

• iMac slow start caused by the spotlight?

  For some reason, my iMac i5 2013 end has always been slow to start (at least as long as I can remember).  its quick access through the actual boot process but, once I connect to my profile, there are about 5-7 minutes to load and become usable.

  • I tried to make another profile and started in to confirm that it was my profile.  It is exclusive to my profile.  very good start.
  • I reformatted my mac and reinstalled OS X and recreated my profile.  Problem comes back in a month or two.
  • Took a look in the system log and found that his 'looks like' spotlight is very slow on this topic for some reason any.  I turn off the projector and the question is basically gone!  This feels like dressing difficulty however, no idea what continues?

  Here is the log from BEFORE I turned off the projector: it won't let me post the log because of his characters... but here is a screenshot of the suspicious party...

• Late 2009 iMac Sierra gel &amp; incomplete close

  Hi all

  I did a clean install of Sierra on my iMac late 2009, 3.60 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, the 12 GB of RAM, a 1 TB drive, ATI graphics card. Everything seemed to happen. Now, I have two problems:

  1. at least twice daily than the iMac just hangs. The mouse moves, but can not select anything. Cmd - Tab will not pass applications. Keyboard does not respond. All I can say is that I always Mail, Safari, & Open Office 4.1.2 running. Have to hold the power button to turn off and restart.

  2. at the end of the day, when I stopped, the process is not finished and I just get a black screen (computer for desktop is black, but the items on the desktop are not visible), with the only docking station. Still, the only way out seems to be to hold down the power button to turn off.

  Anyone else having these issues? Is it that I can save for a clean install of Yosemite that worked perfectly before?

  Many thanks in advance,

  gimbers

  Hi aihometech,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

• IMac slows down with "safari web content (not responding)."

  I have an Imac mid-2010 running El Capitan. I constantly get a message on my activity monitor which causes my mac slow down and sometimes crash. When I leave the process on the activity monitor, my computer works better up to five minutes later, when it still happens once I wonder if some may be able to give me advice. I will include a screenshot of what I see on my activity monitor.

• New iMac has no Applications folder in the dock. Where to drag the Firefox icon for?

  A brand new iMac with the current OS X 10.8.2 has no Applications folder in the dock. When I try to download Firefox the last step shows to drag the Firefox icon in the Applications folder.
  What should I do because there is no such file?

  FYI, I had an old MacBook Pro has an Applications folder in the dock it was no problem
  Download and install Firefox.

  Hi rcarm, go to the Finder, then go to the Menu bar and then open the "Go" menu and select "go to folder...". ", and then type (or copy and paste from there) ~/Library/Application Support

  Thank you

• iMac slow start was fast

  My iMac, with 1 disk of merger to, was very quick to open the OS since multinational April 2015, then suddenly became very very slow to open recently.  For example the Apple logo appears in a few seconds and the load in a few seconds more.  Now the Apple logo minutes to load.

  Latest version of the OS is 10.10.5.  It's 3.1 GHz Intel Core I7 processor.  The memory is 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

  No idea why the slow start happening?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thanks for posting a report http://etrecheck.com/ EtreCheck

• Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

  El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

  A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

  I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

  So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

  I have two macbook pro and two iphones, used for video and audio digital professional. I might as well have a Dell.

• Gel application

  Hai guyz,

  I'm having a problem with my function 'House '. Whenever I press on it, it would bring me to the list box. But then I wouldn't be able to rely on it. I can't think anything to solve this problem. Its probably the way which I arrange the affair and the event but I don't see any reason why it would be like this. I enclose the code for this application. Ignore other functions, I want just to solve the glitch 'House '. Comments are welcome

  Your help of two structures within the same event loop. This is not recommended and should be what causes the gel.

  Even if the data flow is not the structure of the event, the structure has noticed the event and is waiting to run its event arguments when the stream reaches its. The problem is that there is a check box for "gache (defer the treatment of the actions of the user) until the end of the matter for this event", which is exactly what is happening for you.» You could uncheck it and get might work better, but better again does not use the event several structures in the same loop, so change your system design. Same parallel in the same vi loops can cause similar problems. There is a link "caveats" in help for the event structures addressing this... Well, cautioned.

• Gel application - "the required samples are not yet acquired.

  Hello

  I have a vi that controls a test bench. The vi was created using Labview 8.6. Vi works fine and controls to the test correctly when running on the pc where it was created in the full version of software development (which is not converted into a stand-alone executable).

  The problem occurs when I create an executable file and try to run it in another pc. Initially the application seems to work ok but then after a random time (anything between 30 seconds and 12 hours), the application starts to turn slowly and then loses communication with the hardware (cDAQ-9178). After what happened when I opened MAX and try to run the task I get an error message that says that «some of the requested samples are not yet acquired...» »

  When the application starts to slow down, I see a reduction of the available physical memory and one of the CPU usage increases to 100%.

  I built the application using Labview 2012 and use MAX 5.3.1 on the pc hosting the executable file.

  Below, I have included a screenshot of the area of the block diagram which is probably more relevant to solve this problem. In MAX, the task is set to continuous samples, 1 k samples read at the rate of 1 k.

  Anyone have any suggestions for me to try please?

  Thank you

  So now, you can try what BCL@Servodan suggested. Create and launch tasks with DAQmx before your loop and see if it helps. Remove the timed loop would be also advised, and you set the sampling frequency before the normal while loop, as in the official example.

  This would not require too much effort and can help...

• System.out.println (significantly) slows an application?

  I couldn't find any other posts about this, but I've always wondered to this topic.  Of course if you have the debug window open and print much info, it certainly slows down due to the scrolling in the IDE.  However, it affects the application once it is on the device and is not being debugged via USB?

  The guys take off your println when you compress your code for immediate release?

  From my experience, this output does not slow down the program significantly when running on the device. I think the BONE to eat out if there is no connection of USB debugging.

  That said, we take 'more' these lines for a production version.

• InDesign CS4 slow. Spinning beachball headaches

  Can someone help me solve this problem? InDesign CS4 document with a few pages and about 24 images on a page. With CMYK images imported the rendering and re-tearing is very slow. The process shows 99% of use of InDesign. Makes it almost impossible to work on a document.

  Any ideas to fix this?

  EPS files are not required for cmyk printing, try to use the psd files, which is recommended in any case for a number of reasons, see the comments of Peter Spier here.

  Indeed, with the right settings, you can use a huge amount of files to png and jpeg RGB as well and as long as they're high enough resolution very good results.
