VA speed

[pastro]

Are there any tricks that can make VA naviagate through the recordings a little faster? It's pretty slow on my underpowered celeron.

I have lots of recordings (1700) and the navigation speed is pretty good. I think the main reason is memory. I have 2MB in 2MB Or RAM in the machine, which I think makes a big difference. The processor is an AMD 3000+, which was speedy in its day, but its day was many years ago.

I'll find a little more memory and test it out. Thanks.

I have the same problem here. That´s why I stopped using va. Mine is a AMD 3200 with 1GB ram

I have 512, but there is 100 meg or more "free". The menus in VA are not too bad but the default plugin is faster, but it doesn't display nearly as much info. It's surprising to me how slow the menus are in net in general.

i have also found VA to be slow, which is really my only pet peeve with it. if you check the logs, it looks like every time there is a key input the whole skin is being reloaded every time. you can really bog it down by using a skin with a background image and putting a full res camera image on there.

other plugins seem to handle this differently. is this right Jeff?

[Jeff]

The plug-in loads the skin each time so it can react to changes in the skin in real time. I'll look into changing this.

As a huge fan of VA, and using it for almost all Playback, I would really appreciate it. As much as I have learned to live with the moderate sluggishness, an update making it faaster would shurely be appreciated

But - please don't break it trying
