Version 37.2.012 runs slowly

As happens periodically with new version releases, version 37.2.012 runs slowly on Windows 11. I reverted back to version 37.1.006, which runs without issue (other than the bugs that have been there for years). I'll probably just stick with this version going forward to avoid dealing with these slowdowns in the future.

    Not sure what your 'slowly' means … really slow, sluggish, not fast etc. I'm still on 36.1.6 and it's perceptibly 'slow' … I'd put it around Logos6 timeframe (Mac M1 Sequoia). Takes longer to load in, slow on the right-click menu, slow on the Text Comparisons fill-out, etc. I don't know if it's 'me' … pretty much just live with it.

    Windows is the issue, that’s why I bought a Mac. I got sick of the constant Windows updates and the indexing took forever every time I purchased one book!

    With Windows, indexing took hours with a Mac it takes less than 5 minutes! Besides, all my other programs like Word, PowerPoint and even opening a new panel dragged miserable all thanks to the unreliable nature of Windows. It was a Dell and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anybody!

    I suggest you might want to look at your Windows settings. My five-year-old Dell just got a Windows cleanup that freed 28 GB of disk space.

    38 just uploaded fine on my older Dell and my newer HP. There is a four Intel generation difference between the two but the HP is just a bit faster . Both open in about three seconds and index really fast.

    I'm tempted to buy an M4 Mac, but it wouldn't add anything to how Logos runs at this point.

    My computer runs fine. I don't have a problem with Logos indexing times. My problem is the long lags when I scroll through open books.

    After running 37.1.006 for a couple of days, I've decided to go back to 35.0.520. If I remember correctly, that version ran pretty fast. 37 is just too slow.

    This sounds like what I was experiencing. I was living with it but couldn't take it any longer.

    Mentioned this before, but Logos would open from a cold boot in 4 - 5 seconds. For the last month or better, it's taking 25-30 seconds if not longer. Everything else works fast as it always did. Oh my, the grief of it all.

    If you have all sorts of stuff reopening from your last session, it's going to take longer. Way back before Logos got its act together, I got in the habit of opening Logos with nothing from my previous session. That drops the startup time to near zero. Because Logos remembers lots of things, I can open up my favorite Bible where I was at last with no issue.
