Studio 2017 SR1 is too slow, and shows unacceptable lag time even with new features disable. Fix it.

Riccardo Schiaffino

Since I've installed SR1 Studio has become unacceptably slow: yesterday I was editing a translation project, and I measured the lag it consistently displayed. I measure it over 100 segments, and the lag time varied between 1 second and 18 seconds, with an average of 6 seconds.

This is completely unacceptable. 

Support has seen this on my computer, but they claim that since they cannot reproduce it, they cannot log it as an issue. They have suggested that I disable all the upLift and match repair features (done, with little effect -- and anyway, what's the point of new features if you cannot use them?), and also that i uninstall 2017 with SR1 and re-install the older version (which, I think is probably what I'm going to do next, but, again, what's the point of new upgrades if then the only thing to do is to uninstall them?).

What I have seen is that sat this point I'm much faster using a workflow that involves creating the project in Studio, then use memoQ to translate the sdxliff file, and finally finalize it in Studio. Since I doubt that a process which involves using memoQ is really what SDL intends, I believe that the programmers should get busy making the program work at an acceptable speed.

BTW, what I notice is that the lag time may be related to the hard drive

    Disabling the plug-ins doesn't seem to make a difference. Right now I have this project and I see that the big difference is that, in passing from "Reviewed" status to "Sign-off" status, if I just confirm a segment (i.e., if all the program has to do is to change the status), the transition is fast: one second or less. On the other hand, if I make any kind of change (like deleting a word), the program takes some 20 seconds to confirm the segment. I have a 7000 words editing job coming up tomorrow, I expect there will be a lot of changes, and I'm dreading the idea of working in Studio on it: this lag between segments is likely to add about an hour to the time I would normally take.
