Onfolio - performance

I have been continuing to use Onfolio and liking it, but have come up with one snag - performance. At home I have been trying it on my AMD Athlon 64 computer with 1GB of RAM - no problem (well you would hope not with that machine spec!!).

However when I tried it on my computer at work I had to uninstall it, the machine just became too slow. Certainly too slow to leave Onfolio running in the background collecting feeds. My machine at work is a P4 with 512MB of RAM, a reasonable computer, average for a mid-range office machine.

    Hi Patrick

    I’m a developer at Onfolio- just wanted to check if you had tried the Preview release of Onfolio yet. We have had a lof of positive feedback about its performance compared to Beta 1, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, it may make performance on your home computer a lot more acceptable. If you’re already using it and its still not working for you performance wise, thats good for us to know as well- we’ll keep trying to make it faster!

    Hi Charles

    I am using Preview Release (6557). It was actually my work machine which had the problem, my home machine is an Athlon 64 with 1GB RAM, it’s sweet :-) I’ll try it again on my work computer - P4 512MB - to see how it goes and see if I can pin down what the issue was and whether it was clashing with anything.

    Onfolio Performance Issues

    I’m seeing lots of positive comments on Onfolio, but one problem may be performance:…

    In case you haven’t already worked through this with our support folks, I’m guessing you’ve got Norton Anti-Virus at work. If you add the .cfs extension to the NAV exclusion list, you should see the performance problems disappear.

    We actually use TrendMicro OfficeScan desktop anti-virus at work. I will see if adding the .cfs file extension (if possible in OfficeScan) makes any difference.
