Question to Mac Users of Logos 5

Caleb S.

For those of you who went from Logos 4 Mac to Logos 5 Mac, I have a question for you: How is the memory usage in Logos 5 Mac compared to Logos 4 Mac? Is it better? As in, does it use less RAM than Logos4? I use Memory Scope to watch my RAM usage, and Logos tends to use at least 5% of my RAM....sometimes as much as 9%. So, I just want to know if Logos 5 Mac uses more, or less or the same amount of RAM as before. And those with large libraries: is the indexing faster or the same? Also, is scrolling in Bibles faster, the same, or slower than Logos 4 Mac? And how about scrolling with two Bibles synced with each other: is scrolling faster, the same, or slower than Logos 4 Mac? Also, is the load time faster, the same, or slower? (Of course, this COULD depend on how old your Mac is, how fast your processor is, how much RAM you have, and how fast your hard drive is or if you have an SSD).

 

(FYI: I am using a late 2008 Macbook, Aluminum, before it went to Macbook Pro status, 8GB RAM).

Similar RAM usage for me, I also have 8gb and never get close to using all of it.

Indexing significantly faster, at last partly because it is now multi-threaded, I'd be guessing your Mac is a Core2Duo so it could be half the time.

General use with the interface/scrolling etc all much quicker for me, I used to rarely sync books and scroll them together, now don't need to worry about it.

Load time similar I think, limited primarily by internet connection (syncing documents and loading home screen data).

 

My mac is newer than yours (mid-2011, SSD) but from all reports you should see significant improvements regardless.
