Not significantly. In testing, slow down was only noticeable when working with very large (gigabyte or larger) files. See similar questions...

this time, Pointsec only works on computers running Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. If your computer uses XP or 2000, you can use Pointsec for PC on your computer. See similar questions...

Once installed, Pointsec for PC encryption software is virtually invisible except when you boot or power on your computer. Whenever you boot your computer, you will need to enter your password. When you are not using your computer, you will need to shut down to re-activate encryption. See similar questions...

It's Symantec Anti-Virus 10.x that causes this. The 7.x version was fast; the 8.x version was slower, but usable. With the 10.x version, it may take minutes between the time you login and the time you can actually get work done. Symantec withdrew support for 8.x in Feb 2007, so, sadly, we are stuck with 10.x. Unfortunately, the scan is generated for *each user*, so *each user* on each machine must do this. See similar questions...

No. The Backup Agent has a feature that suspends the backup when the PC is in use. When you use the keyboard or mouse, The Backup Agent pauses. When you stop to answer the phone, backup continues. And since we backup the files as they change, the amount of data being sent through your Internet connection is kept to a minimum. Most people can't tell a backup is in progress.

No problem: in each product page you can find all information written on the full brochure; just click the buttons on the left hand side of the machine. See similar questions...

Well that's because this site is all about pictures, and most pages are made up of lots and lots of them. I could have had thumbnails and pop-up boxes but then you wouldn't be able to see so much without clicking on everything to bring up separate boxes. As fast internet connection has become more commonplace I decided to assume users will have this. See similar questions...

There's a long list of methods how to speed Arachne up - that list is part of the documentation distributed together with Arachne. Because the list is quite long and confusing, let's summarize it: You need at least a 33 Mhz processor to anything useful with Arachne. This usually means a 386 or 486 compatible CPU. You have to use some kind of disk cache (SMARTDRV, NWCACHE) or run Arachne from some kind of virtual disk - "RAM disk". See similar questions...

There are a number of reasons why RedSquirrel could run slowly. Firstly it is a very processor intesive program that requires quite a powerful PC to emulate even an old Archimedes machine. You should curently expect to get about 1 mip for every 100Mhz of processor speed you have on an intel PII/PIII processor. Software audio cards such as AC97 codecs will take a significant proportion of your processor time and slow down RedSquirrel. See similar questions...

Unlike other PC Builders which are very limited in terms of which components you can use to build your PC, our PC Builder gives you access to 2,500 components so you really can build the ultimate PC. In order to provide you with this level of flexibility unforuntately it takes time to display this information. However, once the screen has loaded you have immediate access to all these components and there are no further delays. See similar questions...

Remember when you first took you new computer out of the box and everything worked so well and was so fast? And now, months or years later, all these nagging errors, pop-ups, and lockups keep happening. And everything is so slooooooowwwwwww…… See similar questions...

Various issues may cause your PC to be slow at downloading. Viruses or spyware/malware can affect internet connection. If this is an issue with P2P programs such as Kazaa, Limewire, etc, these programs are blocked and are in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. See similar questions...

Yes - select the Draft command from the View menu. This selects draft mode (you will see a check next to the Draft menu command). This will slightly reduce the display image quality (the picture will be a little softer), but it will update much more quickly. Don't worry, this option has no effect on the image quality when the images are saved. If Portrait Professional still runs too slowly, make sure you have enough RAM (512 MB minimum recommended). Other than that, you need a new PC! See similar questions...

Some versions of the winsock library have bugs which cause this behaviour, try upgrading. We have found that winsock2.2 works correctly. Note that, starting with RAT v3.0.31 you are required to have version 2 (or later) of the winsock library to use RAT. See similar questions...

The Kontiki program is designed to run in the background and not interfere with other activity on your PC. This means that it will slow down its own activities while you're using the internet for other things, including using Sky Anytime on PC, browsing the internet or using your email.

Not all drivers are created equal. On my Laptop which has a Savage IX chipset, the Windows ME driver scales in hardware but the Windows 2000 driver does it in software. Until I change to mode 31 (800x600) with square pixels, RedSquirrel runs at 0.1 Mips under Win2k. If this happens to you, make sure you are running in 'software scale' mode. See similar questions...

We are trying to improve the design of our website so that it is never slow.

There is a once-per-process-per-type overhead with XmlSerializer. So the first time you serialize or deserialize an object of a given type in an application, there is a significant delay. This normally doesn't matter, but it may mean, for example, that XmlSerializer is a poor choice for loading configuration settings during startup of a GUI application. See similar questions...
