BUG: Homepage is very slow

I never start logos to the Homepage. I go to the Homepage each day primarily to launch Daily Devotional reading. Over the last couple of Betas I have noticed the initial start of the homepage getting slower and slower. This evening I timed it.

I have a prayer list, 5 reading plans, devotionals, and update resources checked to show up. All of the other stuff (pre-pubs, community pricing, excerpts, etc...) are unchecked.

It took more than 2.5 minutes to bring up the homepage.

It looks like your home page may have accumulated a lot of data about which items have been featured before (so it doesn't repeat the same content); this may be slowing it down.

To test this theory, please open the home page and press Shift+F5. This will regenerate the home page and delete this cached information. (The side effect of this is that you may be shown an image that you've seen before, but I'm assuming that's not a big concern.)

Please let me know if that helps the home page generate any faster.

Bradley,

That appears to have been the problem and your suggestion seems to have cleared it up. I periodically runa utility that cleans out my Temporary Internet files, cache files, etc. Am I to assume that Logos is creating a seperate cache file the shift-F5 cleans up?

Well, it's not so much a cache, more just a list of content that's already been shown. It's stored inside Logos 4 preferences, so there's no specific file that can be deleted to clear it out. Since you've been running for almost two years before it started causing problems, you'll probably be fine in the future if you remember to press Shift+F5 every 6-12 months. (And I'm creating a case for this issue so hopefully we can have the software automatically detect and correct this problem before then.)
