Slow operations - something wrong?

Xyzzy · Post by **Xyzzy** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 10:28 pm

XnView 1.74, XP SP1, AMD XP 2000+, 512RAM

XnView seems to be significantly slower than ACDSee Classic, especially starting and zoom.
When I double click ona a jpeg (or other gfx file) associated with XnView, I see some interface redrawing (menu, toolbar) before picture actually shows, up. That makes XnView click-to-display time veeeery long. Also, zooming with grey +/- is very slow.
I renamed plugins directory, but the problem remains
Is it supposed to be so, or I need to set some options/something's wrong with my system?

Hello !
- Something is certainly wrong somewhere in your system…
- In example, with an "oldie" PII @ 350 MHz, I can load and view a JPG - 1280*960 - 24 BPP - 371 KB in ONE second, without any flicker or so in the file manager from which I make the handling…
- There is 320 MB of SD-Ram installed, and always 200 MB free at least.

- Maybe some AV-scanner, or useless "Services" are “eating” a too big amount of free Ram ?
- I can't compare under XP-Pro, because I've a 2-CPU AMD MP 2000+, and 1 GB DD-Ram, that is not too much ! There, XnView is much faster, of course…

Kind regards,
Claude

Try change this: "Options > Install > Use registry to save options" (or defragment your hard drive)

And what is "veeeery long" ??

(in seconds)

Yes, often switching to the registry for saving the options helps. See also related topics:
- Slow starting and quitting (1.70.2 and above)
- 100% CPU usage when exiting

Approx 3 seconds. Settings are kept in registry. I will try to defragment.

Very strange, try to remove (or rename) language & Plugins Folder?

No success, also after renaming the folders. Defrag helped but no more than .5 sec. Strange, as I've said, before picture opens (full screen mode, after clicking in Explorer window) almost all frames of panels are completely drawn, along with toolbar+icons and title bar. Then some of the frames seem to move to different positions, picture appears but the task bar is still visible and at the end also this part of the screen is drawn.
I will check on another computer tomorrow.

In View options, Disable all "High zoom quality (slower)" options
and "Cache" options and please report back with your findings.

Yes, very long

Which size (in pixels) of your picture? How many files in this folder?

On my Xp 1800, win2K, when i click on a 2000*1700 jpeg file, xnview takes 0.5sec to load it.

Hello !

I tested the Xyzzy's file P1090761.MOV (sound only?), I get a delay of :
- 3 seconds with the oldie PII / Win 98 SE (see above)
- 1 second with the 2-CPU / Xp-Pro (see above too)
- The same XnView 1.74

"DeLuxe 2" tells "Not suported" ?

Kind regards,
Claude

But the problem is not the .MOV file. The MOV shows the problem...

My copy of "\My Data\DeviantART\Fragment_of_Space.jpg" which is 1800x3000 100dpi JPG takes about 3sec to load from Browser to View mode with High Quality Zoom settings enabled.

AMD Athlon XP1700+ is oc'd to 1.83Ghz (XP2200+)

There were ~500 pics in the directory, shown pic was ~1500x2000.
Disabled "High zoom quality" and Cache and tested a little, there is significant speedup! Disabling cache seems to have much less impact on load time than disabling "High quality options". Hovewer, I can still see main window redraw before picture is show. Full frame of main windows is drawn along with toolbar (including icons), no panels' frames are drawn now. Progess bar in status bar shows loading before picture is shown.
I will test a bit more tomorrow and report.
