Very Slow Operation ???

Posted July 12th, 2006, 1:20 pm

NOTE: There are so many postings I don't know if this has been discussed before.

I have been using SeaMonkey 1.0.2 for several weeks and there seems to be a "hesitation" with the operation.

i.e. I click on "Bookmarks" [upper toolbar] and almost a FULL SECOND goes by before the listing pops up !!!

The same is true of the "Back & Forward" arrows and other functions.

I can't really pinpoint where the problem is, BUT I am always click the mouse two or three times.

I am on "dial-up" but I don't remember Firefox 1.0.5 being this slow.

Try clearing out your download list.
Tools > Download Manager

If it's long, it can negatively impact browser performance.

BenoitRen,

Thanks for response.

I clicked on Download Manager and the window that popped up was empty.

Wasn't any more that I could do.

AFAIK, when you have a large bookmarks file, access via the toolbar, is simply put, slow. (At least it has always been that way for me).

The bookmark manager (Ctrl+B) opens without hesitation, though.

Even opening bookmarks via the sidebar is quicker then the toolbar menu.

therube,

Thanks for response.

Yes it's true, my bookmark list is long, guess I'll have to live with the "pause".

Slow is just a machine that needs a big "poop"...

Make a registry backup... Run: Easy cleaner's, all features but duplicates... CCleaner... Spybot... Eraser's freespace cleaner... all of Power Defrags features... and remove shockwave and macromedia from the registry and find... then make some fresh registry backups... and download Seamonkey and Cacheman...

The Windows registry has no bearing on the OP's problem.
Cacheman would probably be of dubious value on an XP system & in particular where memory cache is concerned.

I found that a slow PC is generally a logjam of spyware trojans, and serious fragmentation... You can hear trojans in your PC, in how the hd sounds, when a PC is jammed full of trojans, everything loads very slowly, with hd sounds that resemble soft lagoon waves... Each spy trojan slows down the machine that little bit more...

Cacheman is just to periodically clear RAM without the need to reboot..

How much RAM is in that slowwww PC?..
