| Summary | 0003528: Scribus from official rpm build works too slow | ||||
| Description | As reported by user, it takes Scribus ca. 3 seconds to respond to clicks in Editing Paragraph Style dialog, which makes real work impossible. Also, importing text of 500 000 characters makes Scribus use 100% of CPU time and stop responding.

| child of | 0003432 | closed | Scribus 1.3.x: low performance |
|
|
Time to upgrade, or built manually using more optimisation... Close mozilla |
|
|
I have to agree about closing mozilla and kmail too.. Each can easily use 100 MB of ram alone on my system. With 256MB of ram I would be using blackbox and shutting down uneeded services which are enabled by default on Suse. Building with march=athlon-xp might gain 5%. |

To confirm that this is a memory exhaustion issue (as it sounds like it is) it'd be helpful to get the output of the `free -m' command while Scribus is running slowly. A the output of a 'vmstat 10' that's started before launching Scribus and left running until it gets really slow would also be very useful. To be honest, I must agree with cbradney and mrdocs - this is probably just an issue of not enough RAM. Modern Linux distros are revoltingly memory hungry for the first user (subsequent extra users cost very little), and Scribus its self demands a huge amount of memory for many tasks. There really is no workaround for this at present. |

Update to Suse 10.1, get more memory, wait for new text system. |
