When scrolling quickly, a high CPU usage is completely normal: You 
scroll a bit, new cells become visible and have to be drawn. If, by the 
time that drawing is finished, you have already scrolled further, the 
CPU is used without much pause. Nothing unusual or dangerous about that.


Though I noticed something else: when a row is selected, the scrolling 
speed drops substantially. I cannot accurately quantify, but it is 
clearly visible (and I would say it is a couple of times lower).


So overall, I would say m29 is faster. If the previously failed install 
was the culprit, I have no idea. Even so, it seems a good idea to 
improve the speed even further. It bothers me that the row selection has 
such a dramatic effect.


If the selection is visible, there is some extra work to do. But for me, 
it doesn't have a noticeable effect.

Hello Eike,

I did install OOo-dev m29 and this version is clearly more responsive. I 
opened the same files, SeaMonkey is active again, and the Internet is 
also on the point of continously crashing, so basically same conditions, 
but the Menu pop ups fast enough, and scrolling is also more fluent 
(processsor speed jumps up to 92%, but this is probably an MS Win2k 
issue). With WinAmp paused, it is quite OK.


Though I noticed something else: when a row is selected, the scrolling 
speed drops substantially. I cannot accurately quantify, but it is 
clearly visible (and I would say it is a couple of times lower).

improve the speed even further. It bothers me that the row selection has 
such a dramatic effect.

That may make a difference. Try disabling AutoSpellcheck for that

Re: [sc-dev] Calc Very Slow

2008-08-11 Thread Leonard Mada

Hi Niklas,

I must say the trend is similar today. I do have Winamp playing (but an 
older version, did not change it in a lot of time) and a Seamonkey 
session. Nothing spectacular. I do have open only 2 documents: a native 
ods and an xls. Not very complex. Can't be the formulas, the documents 
are more text-tables.


Calc was always slightly slower on this computer, but I perceive it even 
slower now. In particular, it takes 1-2s for the context-menu to appear, 
when it should pop up instantly. Also, scrolling is painfully slow.


CPU cycles in task manager jump to 42-44% with Winamp playing and to 
over 70% with Winamp paused just by scrolling (and sometimes up to 81%).


I feel the bottleneck is somewhere else and it does not have anything 
with formulas to do. [By the way, the first time I had this feeling was 
when I tested that awful document with a lot of medians and percentiles 
and the formula recalculation did complete, but it took longer to adapt 
the row heights and the like.]


Memory consumption is 94,400 KB, well below my physical RAM. SeaMonkey 
uses another 164,600 KB.


Maybe I am just easier to upset during the last days, though improving 
the speed would be highly welcomed.


Sincerely,

Leonard

Hello everyone,

My system is an older one: processor 1 GHz with  1 GB RAM.

Calc-dev m28 is very slow. I noticed it already after installing it 
some 2-3 weeks ago.


When working with a spreadsheet with ~2.500 rows (4 columns, 2 text, 
the other 2 containing very simple formulas: length of text string in 
one, and a simple IF() to test if previous string is identical to 
current string):

- during scrolling, processor activity jumps up to 50%
- during right-click on row, processor jumps from 00-02% up to 24%
  it takes up to 2s for context-menu

I feel this is substantially more slow than previous versions of 
Calc. Is there any reason?


I don't see such behavior. Maybe there is something special about your 
formulas? Or do you have any unusual tools running on your computer?

Indeed, forgot about that. Not many though: Writer's Tools and CT2N and 
a few others, but it seems they are malfunctioning and Calc just 
terminated unexpectedly when I hit the update button, without any Crash 
Report.


I did had some trouble when installing this version [I firstly 
uninstalled previous Calc versions and made a fresh install, without

I will have to investigate this more thoroughly.

Hello everyone,

I deinstalled Cor's extension and reinstalled it (v1.0.1), but the 
extension continuous to be marked as status unknown.


When I click the update button in the extension manager, Calc crashes 
with: C++ Runtime error. This application demanded the runtime to 
terminate it in an unusual way (something along these lines). No Crash 
Report window pops up.


Is this known?
I do not think it has to do with the extensions.

Sincerely,

Leonard
