Thanks for that Tomasz, I noticed some basic tips for users, of a Java platform, at a site I visited yesterday:
https://www.theice.com/faqs.jhtml#webice This started me thinking about if there would be any value in adding a diagnostic module to AB? I know that general computing issues spill over into AB and questions about firewalls etc come up from time to time. Do you see any value in adding a feature to 'slap' us if system/internet issues are affecting AB performance (sometimes I wonder if AB glitches, that people ask for support with, are in fact caused by external factors?) I think your philosphy is for 'light and powerful' software and for users to 'help themselves' first BUT processing speeds are going through the roof (60+ cores on the desktop PC by 2012 - only four years away?) and a lot of people do not want to buy breakfast at Maccas and have to cook their own burgers. As an aside. I noticed in the article, at the end of your link, the author said: "For both the experiments I set the affinity of all the host OS programs to one core and set the VM onto the other core. This could be the technical basis of my speculation, in a previous thread, that a program like AB could make a 'quick and dirty' easy transition to multicore deployment by taking the modular approach of distributing subprograms (written in the old 'linear' sequential style) to the cores, rather than going down the path of 'pure' concurrent programming (not very sexy for sure but a whole lot more bang for your buck)? (Apologies if this is a ridiculous idea but the intuition often points to reasonable, or relevant, solutions without the attendant technical instructions). brian_z --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > If you are having any performance issues on your computer please check your AntiVirus first. > The most common reason of slowness in save is that your real-time anti-virus scanner is intercepting all system calls to file system > and checks each and every write access. > You need to turn OFF checking of non-executable files (non .exe and .dll) > on your anti-virus. > > http://www.thepcspy.com/read/what_really_slows_windows_down/5 > > Best regards, > Tomasz Janeczko > amibroker.com >
