I have my desktop layout in 5 panes, with multiple tabs.
First window has one text book open with 12 tabs for others brought together.
2nd window has my main bible translation with 5 tabs for other versions
3rd window has another bible translation, open for comparison
4th window also contains commentary, text books ... with 9 tabs holding other volumes.
I have an iMac with 16gb ram and 3 TB HDD fusion drive.
Yet when reading I get the "spinning wheel ..." .
I go to another desktop, no spinning wheel.
What is the optimum number of resources to have open and tabbed in any layout?

Hi Colin
I don't think there is an optimal number - the processor is more likely to be engaged by the fact that either a number of the panels are linked, or the history window is open, or something else is causing a 'processor intensive' regeneration everytime you scroll.
Cmd+Shift+4 used to grab a screen shot might help with diagnosis.

How to get logs and post them.
Bibles are linked ... not the books and commentaries
Nothing jumps out at me.
I seem to remember that it is better to have columns set at 'none' for each resource but I can't remember why.
Perhaps somebody else will have some ideas.
I can't speak to the Mac. But I can speak to my own experience, if it helps any. I run with 4 windows and about 130 resources. Bibles all linked. Lexicons all linked. 5 Cited-By panels. Performance is what I call 'early Logos5' using Logos6 (late Logos5 was the best Logos performance).
What can bring my house of cards to a quick halt are:
- Visual filters. 'Links to open panels' and 'Sympathetic highlighting'. I use neither of these. They're best used with limited number of resources open.
- On-line. I run off-line and then sync periodically. Running on-line, I never know when Logos wants to call home. It's always at the wrong time.
Surprisingly, the CitedBy's are quite efficient. I don't use linked guides or linked text comparion panels; those are also a disaster (I do use but unlinked).
On Windows, performance per resource appears to only be impacted if the resource is viewable (i.e. not a tabbed resouce not in view). So, I can have 15 lexicons linked but little performance cost since only 1 is in view. I don't know how they did the Mac version in the resource text-block buffering.
