Starting PA is slow
-
The latest version of PA 2017 works slow for me for a rather powerful system with 12 GB of RAM and i7.
Explorer context menu extracting, launching main UI and Toolbox… All are slow.Even saving settings and closing main window is slow… Takes like 4 seconds to do all that.

we have sped up explorer compress to file, extract to / to “instant” from “4s” in next build.
As to closing, someone else reported this but we can not reproduce this. Does this happen each time for you? And what AV do you use? OS? Thanks a lot!

having the same issue, is there a way to fix it?

you can check latest .83 build, now shell extensions compress/extract start instantly, this is something we could “easily” optimize in 2017.

Build 83 feels a bit faster. “Extract here” context menu takes about 2 seconds to start showing the extract dialog. Not fast yet nevertheless.

interesting, now this loads before rest of the pa.exe code. On all of my computers it is pretty instant, vs 4s-5s before. For instance compress+options is still slower like before, check how long it takes?
Timing it with stopwatch, it is around 0.9s-1.0s to show here.

@spwolf @Blanzer I have added a screen recording here : https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/5793/real-slow-ux-pa-2017

@spwolf I almost use Compress with options, due to checking “Experimental codecs”. I timed “Extract here” and it is about 1.5-2.0 seconds. As I said, faster than before, but still slow. To me, things longer than 1s, are not instant. Maybe a matter of perception.
Anyway, it is a nice improvement.

How slow is compressed with options? It got small improvement, but nothing like other options… Worstvxaee scenarios we have here it improved from 5s to 4s.
on my laptop for me extract here is 0.8s and compress to file is 1s. If I do a lot of commpression tasks and memory gets fragmented it might get slower but that’s about what’s possible.
Do you use any av?

Not sure if this will work as I’ve only just starting playing with it.
Install Process Lasso Free (I’m a Pro user) and set powerarc.exe as “Classify as a High Performance process”

how fast is extract here and compress to .pa/zip for you, for first show of PA window?

@spwolf Most of the time 1sec maybe a little less.
My PA 2017 install is on a Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe
My testing was on a Samsung 850 EVO drive though
