Performance of Logos8 on Mac OS 10.14.4

Arthur Yeo said:

1. Startup from scratch, took a while to settle into a state where I can start typing it. In general, it took around 1.5 min to 100 secs to be in a usable state.
   
2. Type in a biblical ref in the Open Passage area and hit GO and it takes around 2.5 mins to set up the page
   
3. Hover my pointer over a word in the original text to bring up Information (like BDAG), and it look 90 seconds or more.

I agree with Graham...I use a Mac and these times are nowhere near normal. Something is wrong, but we need more information. IN additional to what Graham asked for, posting your logs might help us see what's going on under the hood. See below in my signature for how to post logs.

No SSD. This is going to have the most significant effect on performance (although the delays you are reporting seem extreme even for a HD).

I run Logos 8 on two Windows machines.  The first is Windows 7 with hex core processor, 64 Gb RAM, and SSD.  Similarly bad performance.  3+ minutes to become usable and then it is just usable.  Second machine is Windows 10 with quad core processor and 32 Gb RAM, and non-SSD.  Better performance, but not great and not nearly as good as Logos 7.

Is there any way to go back to Logos 7?  I tried to reinstall using my original Logos 7 setup file, but it wouldn't work.  My guess is that the old set file was trying to install software prior to the 7.19 security update. 

Any help speeding up Logos 8 or going back to Logos 7 would be appreciated!

I found this thread because I wanted to comment on slowness on a Mac, only started recently. I notice it when I click inside a note and add text. It takes up to ten seconds just for the note to be ready for me to enter text.

If I stay in the note, then no delay but if I highlight text in another window or leave the note window (click somewhere else), then go back there - then there is that long delay.
