Hi,
I tried to run SMSQmulator on my 2Ghz, single CPU laptop, under M$Vista.
It started up first time and has not crashed, great so far.
But I find it VERY slow, much slower than a standard QL, even QPC1 on my
i486/25Mhz laptop is faster.
It's so slow you can see lines being drawn and paper filling by line of
the startup windows, with pauses, despite the 100% processor speed.
Well yes, SMSQmulator isn't a hare, but this is excessively slow.
I run the Java 7 version. According to my Configuration\Programs list I
have both 6 (upd 5) and 7 (Upd 9) on my system. Can that be a problem?
No.
I used QPC2 to create a QXL.win boot file but when I started
SMSQmulator, QPC2 came to a complete standstill.
This is probably due to SMSQmulator hogging all the CPU time.
So I removed that, and started it again.
It ran the boot sequence but that took some 20 minutes (10 secs on QPC2).
For brief moments I can see the mouse movement but it goes in slomo
after a few seconds and the pointer is then gone for about 10 seconds
after each move.
Any suggestions?
No, not really.
What else is running on the machine (antivirus?)
It can't be that the puzzle takes "only" 19 secs to start on a
raspberry, but that the boot should take 20 minutes on yours.
Spmething is wrong but I fon't know what. How much memory does your
computer have?.
Normally SMSQmulator shouldn't be more than 10 times slower than QPC...
