Output switching is super slow again
Posted: 15.11.2018 01:27
Hi Stas,
I originally reported this in Helicon Focus 6.7, and it went away for a while in 7.0, but the problem is back.
Helicon Focus 7.02 pro
Windows 10 Pro, 1803, 64-bit
Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50 GHz
32 GB RAM
Switching between outputs in Helicon Focus has slowed down drastically for me. Selecting a different output or frame after a render used to take at most a few seconds, but now takes at least 3 minutes, sometimes a lot more. I get the blue spinny hourglass pointer and the window title says "Not responding." Other programs, including Lightroom are working normally.
I have plenty of ram and the program is barely touching it (currently 8.7 GB of the 32 with a 105 (4256 x 2832) frame stack and two renders loaded. The 8 threads of the processor are not taxed at all and Helicon is not even breaking 1% cpu utilization during this time. I have lots of disk space available. This happens on short stacks of only a few dozen as well as larger 200 frame stacks. The one thing that IS slow on this machine is my internet access, which is currently extremely limited, but I can't imagine Helicon should care about that.
I have not experimented with different startup scenarios, but I'm starting from the Lightroom export plugin.
I did try to "wipe" the settings, but there was no improvement.
Is there something that can get messed up in the configuration to cause this slowdown? Any known issues with recent Windows updates? Suggestions for debugging or improving this? It is making Helicon Focus next to unusable for me.
