David Zavala

Processor Speed: 2.33

Ram 3gb

Video card ATY Radeon x1600 256MB

MBP

I typed in Heb 4:9 in PG

and it takes a really log time to open. And while it is trying to open the CPU is Running VERY High. Is their a fix for this?DO I have to many books that its  trying to sort through?  ANy Ideas. Is there a software conflict between Libronix and Logos? ANy help would be great.

Thanks, Dave Z

A few sections in the passage guide (notably Biblical People/Places/Things) are quite resource intensive. We have plans to optimize these sections, but haven't had a chance to do so, yet.

In the meantime, if you wait for the Passage Guide to finish generating, you can collapse those sections and they'll stay collapsed when you run future guides (which will cause them to not do their work right away). If you want the content from these sections, expanding them one at a time ought to go faster.

That said, high CPU usage in general is not necessarily a bad thing: it just means that your processor is delivering its full value to you. Your laptop battery may drain faster, but it won't do any harm to your system. "Fixing" your high CPU usage would just result in your computer taking longer than necessary to complete its tasks.
