FaRR running slowly?

(1/2) > >>

gaikokujinkyofusho:
Hi, i am *loving* FaRR (and trying to figure out aliases etc, save that for another post) but it *seems* to be running slowly on my computer (mobile P4 2.6 +512mem, not a speed demon but not a slug either). I get as much as a 2 second delay from the time i press the trigger key and when it shows up, thats slow right? I am using the itunes/mac skin and the "use helper tray" is disabled. I can speed it up by opening the windows task manager and setting the FaRR process to real-time priority but i shouldn't have to do that right? Is there anything else i can do to speed it up? (if not, do you happen to know how to permanently set a app to run with a higher process priority?)

Cheers

Hi gaikokujinkyofusho!
Although i don't know the solution nor the cause, i know that's a problem. I've tried farr in an exact similar confguration (a toshiba P4m, 2.6, 512mem) and had nothing like that to report, it handled the same way it does in my own PM centrino 2.0.

nontroppo:
it does seem that the latest v1.09 freezes for a couple of seconds while searching on several quick keypresses once it is focussed for me.

what happens if you turn the history display and skin off?

mouser:
the freeze for a couple of seconds thing may be a bug regarding searching networked files..
do you guys with the slowdown have a lan?

if you go into search directories and Uncheck the "Recent Documents" directory, does it solve the problem?

jgpaiva:
I think you've misunderstood the first post.
gaikokujinkyofusho mentioned a delay between the time he presses the trigger key and the time farr comes up.
I don't think it has to do with a slow down while searching.
