Slow!

Post by jfv »

Heyho,

New user here. Am I the only person that finds text imput rather slow? When inserting new text into a paragraph when there are a number of pages following, it can take a good half-second or so before what I type shows up. It doesn't seem to get much better if I do not justify the text. While I am typing, the CPU usage goes up to 100%. I am using NWX 2.7 on a recent iBook (late 2005 model).

Cordially,
J.

How much memory does your iBook have?

stutter

Post by gemboy27 »

I am having a 2.7 slow problem

it is more a stutter... that is on occasion there will be a delay before the typing appears. then once it does, there is no problem.

I haven't naied it down exactly how it happens, but it seems to be after I have tabbed into NWE from other programs

Are you sure it's not doing an automatic save in the background?

Obviously there is something seriously wrong with your setup and/or NWE installation as that is not normal.

similar

Post by gemboy27 »

I have a similar set up and action with NWE

Intel G5 2 g ram, 1.83 processor... 10.4.6

NWE has a lag... Not ever thing I type takes a second to appear, in fact once it does start appearing it seems okay. And mostly this all happens when I transfer in from another program.

What could be wrong with my setup?
