CF 1.5 is the slowest cf ever (at least on my system)

superbowl · 11-01-2005, 05:44 PM

Hi,

i have installed cf 1.5 on my system - m10000 / 512 mb ram. I was using cf 1.2 (was the last one with integrated gps) and i hoped that 1.5 would be much faster - but it is the opposite side.

Here are two examples:

i installed gps and tried to enter the navigation adress. the keyboard popped up and i tried to enter "gelsenkirchen".

Nothing happens, except that all the buttons i pressed changed the color to green. Nothing more. It took 10 seconds for the first 2 letters "ge" to appear, so i gave up.

Then i played some mp3s and wanted to change the volume. i pressed the "vol -" button, but nothing happend. Then - as a test - i tapped the "vol +" button, but no reaction. Finally i pressed the "mute" button, suddenly all three buttons turned green and my whole system was locked up and needed a hardreset

Also .. i noticed that cf 1.5 takes longer to start than 1.2 .. when i doubleclick "centrafuse 1.5" it takes nearly 20 seconds until the frontend appears, for 20 seconds i only see the boot screen. (even photoshop starts much faster).

Any ideas what happend ? Right now i uninstalled 1.5 and have 1.2 working again, but .. 1.5 has so much more features, that i´d like to use it.

I've only used 1.4 before this, but have noticed no slow down with this version. I'm using Celeron 1.8 mhz with 512 meg ram.

I noticed the same thing man. I was wondering mine was the only one turning green! I am only running a 600Mhz CPU, but I have a M10000 on the way. Hopefully it runs a little faster on it.

Hmm,

as i have the m10000 .. don´t expect to much. It runs really really slow on my machine ... so slow, you can´t use it.

The same problem on Via Epia SP 1.3, so we are waiting for patch

or you just buy yourself a real pc!!!

At first I had Celeron 2.6, but it was useless, because it used too much of power - I can't image what would P4 3.0 from my home computer do

I also had to make custom case for my Via, the smallest possible, because of space limit

TheKingPlaza · 11-02-2005, 01:50 PM

space limit is indeed a very good reason to use a epia.
I use a asus pundit p4@2400/512/80GB powered by opus 150Watt. Use standby to startup/shutdown.. I love it..
startup: 3 seconds (plus 5 seconds delay)
shutdown: I don't know, just take out my key

Well, my reason for using Via is the size. Most people won't even realize what I have or where anything is.

I have a 3.06 P4 in the car and its just fine, even on an OPUS. I haven't had any problems with my setup related to the amount of power it draws.
