Slow startup after reboot

olivier.colliou · ‎Aug 21, 2007

Hi adepters,

I am using Editor 5.3 M030 under XPsp2 and Iam experiencing slow
startup time after PC reboot:

- after reboot: 130s
- others (even immediately after logout/login) : 10s

5.2 M030 was a lot faster.

Is it normal ? is there a way to improve that ?

Olivier.

Hi Olivier,

I haven't noticed any differences with respect to Editor startup time or
reboot time. I just upgraded from 5.2m020 to 5.3m030 yesterday.

If I notice anything wonky during testing, I'll let you know.

Greetings,

It may be possible that some options may have been set that are slowing
down startup times. You can go to the Help->About Arbortext Editor->Session
and see what may have been installed that you weren't expecting. I noticed
on mine, that even though I turned off some things in the install, it still
tells me that there are some pieces installed.

The 'feature.cf' file is the place where those are turned on/off if you
need to change anything.

Could be a piece to the puzzle.

Thanks.

Just a guess, but sometimes when things are terribly slow
for me, especially just after a reboot, it turns out to
be that the system is trying to access some network
drives that it expected to be mounted but weren't, and
it takes a fair amount of time for it to try to open/mount
a drive before it either mounts it or gives up. If it's
looking for several such drives, it could take minutes
trying to find all of these.

As far as why bringing up Epic would cause it to look
for external drives, I couldn't say, but you might look
in that direction as you investigate.

Could your problem be related to an anti-virus scan?

I have a client whose anti-virus scanner would scan all the jar files in the Epic install path every time a user first launched Epic. It slowed Epic's launch down enormously until I had them exclude the Epic install path from their virus scanner. When testing new versions of Epic on their network they have a recurrence of the problem because the install path used for the new version is different from the standard install path and therefore not excluded by the virus scanner.

Cheers,

Dugald

Thank you all,

The anti-virus seems to be the culprit.
