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

    Hi Paul,

    I think that something strange is going on with Studio on my computer: I've created a new project, using the same settings as the project that is showing such marked lag. The new project uses exactly the same memories as the previous one.

    I'm editing in it, and Studio behaves completely normal with it: no noticeable lag between segments, weather or not I have changed them.
    But, at the same time (in fact I can have both files open in the editor in different tabs), the older project still shows the marked lag between segments I was complaining about. There is a difference in size between the two files (the smaller one is about 2000 words, the longer one about 7000), but size can hardly be a factor, since it is the largest file that behaves faster, and the lag is only shown in the smaller one.

    So: two projects, same settings, same memories, and one shows lag, while the other does not.

    Any idea what could be the cause?
