Hi
After upgrading to Beta 5, I am finding Logos very unresponsive and impossible to use. There is no crash, but my logs are attached anyway.
6443.Logging.zip
I have switched GPU's to my faster discreet GPU, which has improved the performance, but is still very much slower than Beta 4.

Is it still running slower? Is the Indexer running?
Yes, still slower. The indexer is not running. I keep seeing the "Wheel of Death". At best it takes 10 seconds to respond to a click and some things don't happen at all, causing the program to be "not responding"
The performance of Beta 4 was fine.
Latest logs attached (as the program was not responding). 2543.Logging.zip
Thanks
Just realised that logging is now switched off by default, so my previous logs will be empty. I have now followed your instructions, Melissa, to activate logging again and have attached some new logs where I was trying to open a new note file, which was very frustratingly slow.

Thanks. We'll review your logs.
So far, beta 5 has been pretty responsive for me, some parts seeming to be a bit more responsive than previous versions.
where I was trying to open a new note
Below is the data at the end of the log beginning with the command opening a new Notes document. Did you send the log before the document panel opened? Did you have to Force Quit?

The note panel opened and I typed in a title. There was a lag of some 10 seconds before the characters appeared. I didn't force quit, in fact it is still open now. I then archived the logs.
Bit of a puzzle!
I noticed that the fans on my MacBook Pro seem to be busy, so I launched Activity Monitor to see what was happening. It seems that Logos is using up a lot of resources. See image from activity monitor below:
Have you tried the troubleshooting steps in this public wiki page: http://wiki.logos.com/Mac_Troubleshooting#Slow_Performance?
Thanks Melissa.
I have tried booting into 64bit Kernel, but no change. Indexer is not running so that is not the problem. My indexing seems to run quite fast. I don't use a time machine backup.
I don't really see why it will be necessary to change any program settings as Beta 4 was absolutely fine, and the only thing I have done is upgrade to Beta 5.
I don't really want to have to play with font smoothing, again, for the reasons above.
My Mac is pretty lightening fast normally. It is a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory, 6MB Ls Cache, 1.07 GHz Bus Speed, 500GB Hard disk, rotation speed 7200, Link speed and Negotiated Link Speed both 3 Gigabit. I have 2 graphics cards and am using NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
I don't want you to think this is just a problem with the speed of my machine. When I have Logos open, my computer get so hot I can hardly touch it. As soon I close Logos, the fans start to slow down and eventually it all cools down and goes silent again.
The last time I have a problem like this was during the Alpha testing phase when there were some memory leaks in Logos. Could this be a memory leak?
Thanks for your help.

Zip file includes a crash on May 18 that shows Mac OS X 10.6.6, wonder about updating Mac OS X ?

Logos4.log file has puzzling Error => "ERROR | 13 | RichTextReference | Could not load reference: gesgram.90.bl"
Keep Smiling [:)]
When Logos 4 opens, does it open to a layout or to the home page? Does the layout or home page load more slowly than in Beta 4? With every panel closed, open your preferred Bible--does it open or navigate more slowly? Besides Notes, in what other features/panels do you see the performance hit?

No, I was opening to straight to a layout
Does the layout or home page load more slowly than in Beta 4?
Similar opening times
With every panel closed, open your preferred Bible--does it open or navigate more slowly?
Opening my preferred bible with no other tabs or windows opens fine and the speed is fine. Fans are fine as well. Could this be a problem with my layout I was using? I will try rebuilding my layout from scratch. Thanks for your help.
"Keep Smiling" - I have now updated to 10.6.7 thanks, but the problem remains, but a good spot - thanks.
I will try rebuilding my layout from scratch
I can confirm that it must have been a problem with the layout I was using, as I have rebuilt it and performance is now fine. Thanks Melissa for your patience and help.[:)]
I hate to say this, but I am having the same problem again. It seems to happen when I load a layout, even the one I have rebuilt is now very unusably slow. A work round is a build a layout every time, but that is far from ideal. Could it be a problem with my layout.db? is it a bug that will be sorted in the next release. I can put up with it until the next release if that is the case.
I can't seem to attach my layout.db. It is 2.5MB. Is this normal?
