[APBeta] Slow open/close times in Win 7 64-bit

[John Switzer]

Robin and Paul,

 

I am seeing a several second delay (sometimes up to 10 seconds) anytime a
plan file is closed.  Opening a plan appears to have improved drastically
during the last few beta releases.  When closing a plan, the "closing
document" window opens up immediately and then it  takes several seconds
before the "save changes" window opens.  This happens only on the 64-bit
system (Home Premium).  The 32 bit system is almost instantaneous.   During
the wait for the "save changes" window to appear, the disk I/O flashes
continuously.  This is true even for a newly created plan with nothing in
it.  To do the comparison, I installed AP on Win 7 32-bit and copied all
plans, preferences, etc from the 64-bit system to the 32 bit system.

 

My next step is to completely remove AP from the 64-bit system, and
reinstall from scratch.  If the issue goes away, I will start adding my
"live" data elements one at a time to see if any are the culprit.

  

John

I'm not seeing slow open/close times on my Win7Ultimate 64bit system.  What
sort of times are you seeing?

Regards
Robin

Paul,

 

I would like to offer my services when you wish address the slow plan
open/close times in Windows 7 64-bit.  I have both the 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of Windows 7 (Home Premium) on separate computers that are located
in the same room.  I have over 40 years of computer experience that might be
of some help in the debug process.  Just let me know when and how I can be
of service.

 

Sincerely,

 

John Switzer

 

FWIW, the slow open/close times are not a problem on my Win 7 32-bit system.
