SW SPEED

My mistake . . . I see you've been posting for a little while at least. Well I guess it needed saying again anyway.

Another disappointment for me is how slow PhotoWorks has become in 2004.

PW slowdown started in 2003 with the move away from Lightworks, or whatever they were called. Chrome looks better now but damn, just a "quick" rendering with textures takes forever.

It needs saying daily.

How can I implement SW in my company with it's POOR SPEED Performance.

I just ran a little survey on the SW forum on this very subject. About a half dozen people responded, but the response was pretty consistently focused on assembly performance. Feel free to participate. Look for Bottleneck under the Performance Forum.

This speed issue is actually a good thing. It gives us all a chance to sit back and look at the work we are actually trying to do. Helps to reduce the stress and also to relieve eyestrain from constantly looking at the monitor.

The only drawback is it has created more calls to the chiropractor for the strain and whiplash effect of falling asleeep while waiting for SW to do what it's supposed to do.

This Windooooozzzzzzzzze installer is a JOKE, It takes forever to install let alone update the SP.

Yeah, a good friend of mine, Chuck, used to have a saying for when stuff wasn't going along quickly enough...

And, my God, I hope you're kidding :)

Yep, it needs to be faster. My expansion is that it needs to work more reliably as well. Doesn't matter how fast a surface lofts if it sucks or breaks.

Jerry, it's funny to hear you say that. My old mantra was that it needed to be more reliable. My new mantra was about performance. I guess I temporarily gave up on the reliability and focused on being able to do things over in less time. Weird. And you're 100% right. I could accept the 10% slowdown with each release if we weren't forced to re-do things so often. Oops, bloop! Back to the desktop. I guess I better type this message all over again. Oh, wait, my email program doesn't do that. That's right, it's only Solidworks that does that. Thanks for reminding me of the fading obvious. Doing things over has become second nature for most of us, and that ain't right.

Agreed, Make it reliable, then faster.

Any computer science teacher will tell you: debug first then optimize.

Can you forward some names to Solidworks Corp?

...of computer science teachers I mean :)

I have the funny feeling that with reliability will come speed.

I have only one big problem, that of losing faces used in mates.

For speed I have only one problem, the tremedous slowdown that can occur when a model is overconstrained.
