Title: Ndless making my calc slow as hell
Post by: floris497 on January 29, 2013, 01:47:25 pm
Hi

I had a problem with my TI nSpire CX,

if I turn on my calc its slow as hell it takes about 15 second to get my documents selected with the arrow buttons
when i reset the calc every thing seems fine until i leave my calc alone for i think half a day a few hours or something is again very slow

unfortunately i had to delete ndless :( , so i cant reproduce the problem... maybe if i reinstall it. (will do that in the near future after my exam week).

Is it memory that is not released?

Do you have a lot of large files stored? If you do, that could be causing the slowdown when opening the doc browser

no only linux its 16MB or, so and some regular TI .tns files

it was really wired, it was just unusable. when i pressed the calc button to go to the calc it took 15s or more(did not count) and it took almost the same time to fill in a number and so on.

probably went something wrong with installing ndless but it is strange because it didn't dit something strange before it started

As said before if you have a large amount of files it takes a long time to index them or something like that. That doesn't explain the scratchpad lag tho..

Is it overclocked? Do/did you have any custom stuff installed (theme editor, nclock, stuff like that)?
(note that those two don't seem to have any problems, they're just examples =P)

at the time i had the problems the only thing was linux and some regular ti files.

but i think we will never be able to find out what was wrong... i only wanted to say the problem existed.
and i never over clocked my device (to risky for me) i already lost one CX :(

Have you tried deleting the 16 MB linux file? (After making a backup ofcourse :P) IIRC the nspire re-reads the entire documents tree when going there. The scratchpad and numer lag can be cause by having a medium sized file open (say 300k) or a file with lots of graphs/text etc. I've had that a couple of times myself. Usually clearing the calculation history fixed it for me.
