Hi Tyler,

as we never experienced such delays when loading data from the local disk, all 
I can guess is that you are maybe loading your DICOM images from an 
external/network drive or query/retrieve them which can make huge differences 
on different network connections of course. You can check the resource monitor 
of your OS to get an idea of the system component that seems to be the 
bottleneck. Another possibility is the size of your data in case it doesn't fit 
into RAM, which seems to be the most noticeable difference in the specs you 
posted. RAM should be at least twice the size of the uncompressed (!) data to 
prevent swapping. Anyways, this should also be easily identifiable in the 
resource monitor.


Best,
Stefan

Betreff: [mitk-users] Slow DICOM loading

I have MITK 2015.5.2 installed on my Windows PC and loading DICOM series is 
very fast. When I installed MITK 2015.5.2 (or 2016.03.0) on my Windows laptop, 
loading DICOMs was painfully slow - probably 20 times slower than on my PC. It 
takes several minutes to load a DICOM series, which is not practical for 
regular use. But it's not just my computers, I've recommended MITK to several 
colleagues, and more than half of them have experienced the extremely slow 
loading times. Any idea what's going on? I would like for more of my lab to be 
able to migrate to MITK.

Other info:
-I'm primarily using PET and CT DICOM images
-My PC: i7-6700 CPU, 32 GB RAM, SSD hard drive, NVIDIA graphics card
-My laptop: i-5 CPU, 8 GB RAM, SSD hard drive, integrated graphics

-Tyler
