Performance problems with Beale/Carson

Beale and Carson's Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament gives me severe, debilitating performance problems in Logos4, particularly towards the end of the book. Going to the scripture index and scrolling around results in long hangs (15 sec) with 100% CPU. I also had problems with this book in v3, but not to this extent.

Is there a problem with this book? Am I the only one who has had problems? Will a Logos4 rebuild of the resource fix it?

I have tried this too and agree the scripture index at the back is slow when scrolling through it.

It appears to me that there are large jumps between main headings in the Scripture index and it seems to take a while finding the next or previous heading depending on which direction you are "travelling" through the index.

My CPU does not seem to be busy however, at least, not to the same extent you have seen. Is your computer doing anything else at the same time?

Wow...I get some MASSIVE LAGS when scrolling through that section....about 25 seconds between click and scroll...

HELP!

Yes, I think the table of contents REALLY needs to have book of the bible entries in it for the index. Currently there are entries for Old Testament, Old Testament Apocrypha, New Testament, etc. So if I want to look up, say, Isaiah, I have to click on Old Testament and scroll, wait, scroll, wait or use the search. Perhaps these large sections with lots of references are problematic.

No, maybe you just have a newer (dual-core?) computer. (well, hmm, Robert has a dual-core and he sees the same lag too) FWIW, I don't have problems with other books.

My system is pretty old now - P4 2.93 GHz - nothing fancy.

I agree I don't have a problem with other resouces either. It must be the resource. Maybe it's not optimized for L4 yet!

Well, it wasn't one of the books updated in the recent download, so the problem hasn't changed. Any comments from Logos?

We can reproduce the performance problem. The underlying problem is having a lot of text in one "article". Two possible solutions are: 1) investigate why long articles cause performance problems, and fix it in 4.1, or 2) rebuild the book, splitting the "index" article into smaller pieces and creating new Table of Contents entries for the different parts (or 3, do both). We'll continue to look into this problem.

Thanks Bradley...I'd really like smaller divisions in the TOC for the index.
