Problems with java app and remote dbase

Hi. I'm having trouble with my java app on the database side of things. It uses connectorJ to communicate with a mysql dbase and works perfectly fine locally. When communicating with a remote dbase, it performs dismally. It's takes ages to start and windows that are supposed to open to display dbase data just say 'Exception in thread "...

Visual Studio SQL editor in DB projects is extremely slow

Our solution has a DB project for versioning DB structure. Whenever I open any SQL files in it, it is an absolute pain to edit it. Every keystroke takes literally 2 seconds to be executed (during which some thread in VS takes up 100% of the CPU core it is using). My machine is a fairly decent Intel Core2 Duo E6500 with 2GB of RAM, and no...

Site slows for individual users, but they can switch browsers?

I've tried searching for this but it's pretty difficult to put into words. Basically, our site will run fine for most users without any issues. Sometimes though, those of us who use the site pretty heavily all day will suddenly get completely bogged down. Everything just spins in place. The site itself is still fine - everyone else c...

Slow network file copy on Windows 7

I wrote a program that uses xcopy to transfer files (usually between 1KB and 2MB) over our intranet. Usually, I am copying files from my host machine (Windows 7 x64) to a VMWare virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 (the VM is running on my host machine, if that matters). On Windows XP, the file transfers usually only require a fe...

Slow response from getaddrinfo

I'm using getaddrinfo to do DNS queries from C++ on Windows. I used to use the Windows API DnsQuery and that worked fine, but when adding IPv6 support to my software I switched to getaddrinfo. Since then, I've seen the following: My problem is that some times getaddrinfo take very long time to complete. The typical response from getaddr...

Simple query takes 15-30 seconds

The following query is pretty simple. It selects the last 20 records from a messages table for use in a paging scenario. The first time this query is run, it takes from 15 to 30 seconds. Subsequent runs take less than a second (I expect some caching is involved). I am trying to determine why the first time takes so long. Here's the quer...

And so scrolled to upper rows datagridview updates noticably faster, that scrolled down to last row. The effect can be seen: Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As O...

my iPhone software is so slow!

I ported one of my mac applications to the iphone. WOW!!! is it slow! At first I started thinking maybe I was doing a lot of disk access. But as I started looking I realized I simply do an offset read of a binary file. I only read in about 512 bytes of data. I also have an array that is huge. Maybe 2MB. But why would that be slow?...

Slow hyperlinks in wpf??

I have an app that is similar to a chat application. It also creates hyperlinks in many situations, which are added to the inlines of a TextBlock. The problem is, once I reach a few dozen hyperlinks, the mouseovers become horribly slow! It takes several seconds to change colour, and CPU usage shoots to 100%. I tested this out with a v...

Postgresql Select * from table performance vs MySql

I have a MySQL database that I'm porting to PostgreSQL (because of GIS features). Many of the tables have hundreds of thousands of rows, so I need to keep performance in mind.

Tools to diagnose slow compile/build reasons

In a number of situations as a programmer, I've found that my compile times are slower than I would like, and I want to understand the reason and fix them. Particular language (yes, I'm using C/C++) tricks have already been discussed, and we apply many of them. I've also seen this question and realize it's related. What I'm more interes...

cURL really slow

Does anybody know why could cURL under php5 be so damn slow to fail even at 45s timeout, downloading a few kb file on a speedO'light server? The code is here as requested (although I upped the timeouts even more for the script not to fail during execution and changed useragent to Mozilla/4.0 from initial Chrome): $ch = curl_init('http:...
