6.0.9 Beta / XP machine slowness. The speed is very slow on my XP machines. I even turned off AVG antivirus with no help. The speed to the database is 1 second - same as it ever was. The XP machines are Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM and no other programs running. At least 225 MB free physical memory. WHen the program tries to look up meds or diagnoses the program slows to a crawl and the meds pop up one at a time like every 1 second. Utilization of the CPU by Amazing charts jumps to 99%. I simply can't believe that Amazing Charts exam room computers now need a dual core Windows 7 Machine with 4 GB of RAM. I've got Microsoft Office 2010 bloatware running on similar machines (not the same machines) with no speed issues.
Something is very wrong with Amazing Charts 6.0.9. I know this has already been reported as an issue. I went ahead and upgraded 5.2.9 (and was having no speed problems with 5.2.9) to 6.0.9 as I just didn't think the problem could be that bad. It's that bad. It would be my advice to hold off on downloading 6.0.9.
I'm going to rollback to 5.2.9 this evening.
6.0.9 is better than earlier versions. Thjs, I believe is one of the reasons they held off releasing it. Interestingly, if you remote by logmein, the speed increases to acceptable but somewhat slow speeds, whether working directly or remotely. Stupid workaround, but it might help. Med checking did not make a speed difference.
