System Monitor/Diagnostic Tool for "slow down" ?
System Monitor/Diagnostic Tool for "slow down" ?
(OP)
Hello
REF: "Are you experiencing Slow downs? - Try these options FAQ559-1094: Are you experiencing Slow downs? - Try these options"
I am experiencing painfully slow response times due to, I think, disc access speeds. The computer "thinks" for 10 minutes at a time on 1% CPU usage. Granted, the assemblies are large, but I would like to have a better idea of what is happening so I can better address the fix. Task Manager just doesn't give enough information.
Does anyone use a Task Manager type diagnostic program with file/bus/registry/... monitors included and would recommend it?
Many thanks
Nicholas

2. Click "View" -> "Select columns"
3. Check the following boxes:
"Peak memory usage"
"IO Read Bytes"
"IO Write Bytes"
You use the memory usage to see how close to crashing you are. The IO columns can be monitored, if not increasing in a 'stall' period your system is probably waiting for something other than your hard drive. My guess: videocard

Stefan, I'd forgotten about those extra columns, thanks for pointing it out to me. - I'd like to ask what makes you think that it may be graphics card - what, typically, would you look for for such a diagnostic?
Cheers

It does not work on every system though, but is worth a shot.

Is your assembly on the network or your local hard drive. I have a lot of lag due to how our network is setup. Just to save a simple file can take upto 45 seconds. I moved the design folder to my hard drive and the speed picked right up.
Hope this helps.
