Zotero launching very slow
After I updated to Zotero 4.0.15 its very slow, almost one minute to open. After opening, the activity monitor gives not responding more two minutes. This is happening in a Mac OSX 10.6.8. On a windows machine, I have done also the update to 4.0.15 and everything is ok!
Thanks,

If you're seeing an error, report it and provide the Report ID. Otherwise, we'll need a Debug ID for a startup, using the "Enable after restart" option.
Restored a backup and seems fine know.
Thanks!
If you still have the larger database, I'd recommend putting that back in, and we can debug this properly. But we'll need a Debug ID for a freeze to do that.
This is at standalone. And at Firefox it seems normal D201679810.
How can I reduce database size? For faster syncing and backing up when leaving zotero at Dropbox?
Thanks!
But assuming you want to keep the index, let's figure out why it's slow for you. Two questions:
1) If you (temporarily) disable "Sync full-text content" in the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences, does the slowness go away?
2) What do the Index Statistics say at the bottom of the Search pane of the preferences?
1) Disabled "Sync full-text content".... Yes it become very fast... As usual :)
2) Index statistics say: Indexed 1321; Partial Indexed 175; To index 536; words 170242 ... Translated the terms, my Zotero is in Portuguese (pt-pt)
Thanks!
Anyway I had submitted the Debug ID: D1470617330
Meanwhile, I leaved it open, and it seemed that was crunching data? Could this be possible processing pdfs attachments and creating indexing terms... Becomed a bit unresponsively and after a bit it normalized the behaviour...
Thanks Dan!
Anyway, it sounds like the two freezing issues you were seeing are gone with the dev XPI, so we'll be rolling out 4.0.16 tonight with those changes. If you like, you can stay on the dev XPI until then and switch back to 4.0.16 when it comes out. Thanks for the debugging help.
I will use the dev XPI, at least on my Mac. On the windows based machine I will wait for the final release if there is no inconvenience in doing so!
I'm also experiencing problems of slow performances on my windows machine, and this since before the latest realase. However contrary to sobreiro, I'm not doing a full-text sync; nor I sync my pdf files; i just manually sync from time to time the references on zotero.org, just to have a copy in case; I basically use zotero only locally at library where I work.
So my question is what could justify such a slowness (that i experience in particular opening the database, and when starting a search, just when i click on the serach form for example - maybe because my pc is not exactly a new one - it is 4 years old, and still with an old windows xp os; however this shouln't be dramatic; until somem onths ago it performed quite well..)
my sqlite db is some 60 MB
and index statistics say:
Indexed 341
not indexed 570
words 131.009

Start a new thread and provide a debug ID covering an operation that you feel takes unusually long:

best regards
More interesting would be lags for normal operations (which are also easier to log for you)
thanks
