ydatal Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Is anyone else experiencing a major slow down with VA9? I'm on a G4 dual 450 w/640M of RAM and everything has slowed down. Going from different views can take up to 5 or 8 seconds; the new rendering tool is buggy (keep getting an error that I don't have enough K allocated to application - no matter how much I have allocated). What happened to Quicktime rendering? Has anyone found any work arounds. I like many of the new features in VA/RW 9 but don't like these slow downs and awkward rendering changes.

Guest Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 I've got the same machine with about half the memory, and I'm not seeing those delays when switching views. Does it happen with all files, or only with certain files, or with all sufficiently large files? QuickDraw 3D rendering, which was part of Quicktime, is officially no longer supported by Apple. It has been replaced by OpenGL, which is probably a very good thing in the long run. OpenGL really is a standard in the world of 3D graphics, used for everything from scientific simulations to feature films. Caleb Strockbine caleb@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment

ydatal Posted May 12, 2001 Author Share Posted May 12, 2001 These are new files - not very large. Initially, I had Virtual memory off, and then I turned it on. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Caleb, how much memory do you have allocated to your VA9 application? Maybe I set it too high (or maybe not high enough?). Overall, overthing seems sluggish in VA9. I'm using OS 9.0.4 - is that what you are using too? Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 I too, have been experiencing a slow down. I found that turning VM off made things work better, though it did cut down on the time I had discovered for going out to get coffee! B/W G3 with 384 MB RAM. I am hopeful the bugs and performance will be improved with the next maintenance release. Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 We are experiencing the same sluggish performance with VW9 speed. All files seem to be effected no matter how big (some of ours are up to 15MB). Switching between saved sheet views is painfully slow, sometimes its hard to tell if the view has changed. I hope this is a fixable bug... ------------------ Jim McAuliffe, RA Quote Link to comment
jcaia Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 we too are having the same problem...we tried va9 on different machines and it is the same. hopefully this will be fixed soon or we will go back to using v8. ps: this is just one of many problems. Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 check out my response of today under "the new '9' ". Do you notice the speed hit (and bloated file sizes) if you're working with a converted 8.5.2 file, or also with a newly begun project in 9? Quote Link to comment
