5.9.8.1 extremely slow

[Cyrix]

I purchased an update from 5.7.1.0 to 5.9.8.1 and found that the new version is so slow that it's close to not usable.

It's mainly the ZP interface that gets much slower.

After ZP runs a few hours with multithread, it becomes NOT responsive when I try to navigate between tasks and logs.
Even clicking the scroll button on the log panel takes forever to respond.
The tasks with many log records are especially slow. I can't even right click to copy the ID of Action because the menu takes forever to pop up.
After minimizing ZP, it takes a very long time to be brought back to front. It's like the computer is too busy to open the ZP window, but in fact CPU and memory are both only running <50%.

It was not like this in 5.7.1.0, which was very smooth even when I was running a large number of threads with thousands of log records.

What video adapter do you have on computer? Check drivers for it. You should install the latest version from manufacturer website.

It's AMD Radeon HD 5450. The driver is the latest version.
All software on the computer including the 5.7.1.0 of ZP worked smoothly.

The projects and settings are the same between 5.9.8.1 and 5.7.1.0. However, 5.9.8.1 can not handle tasks with large number of threads or log records.

Please run diagnostic from meny Start>All Programs>ZennoLab>ZennoPoster xxx>Diagnostic and send report.zip to [email protected] with link to this topic.

The report was sent.
I don't think it's related to the video driver.
For example, I was trying to close ZP. And it has stayed in Save Data for a long time and is still sitting there.
Update: after half an hour, ZP was finally closed.

I found that the slowness of ZP 5.9.8.1 was directly related to the number of log records.
As the number of log records grows, ZP gets slower and slower, until it completely freezes after a few hours.

The only way to unfreeze ZP is to clear the logs. By clearing the logs, ZP immediately becomes responsive and fast again. Then the cycle repeats: after a few hours, ZP will freeze as the number of log records grows.

5.7.1.0 never had this problem. It was fast even after running for days with thousands of log records. Is there some bug or change in the log system in 5.9.8.1 making it not able to handle large number of logs?

Please note: changing the buffer size or time-out settings did NOT fix this problem. Please investigate and find out a root cause.
Thank you.

Disable extended logs, logs for emails, http

Where can I "Disable extended logs, logs for emails, http"?
The Detailed Log for developer was already disabled, which didn't help.

Those are already unchecked in 5.9.8.1. They are not the reason for the freeze as log grows.
