We upgraded from 5.0.49 to 6.0.10 this weekend. Today I heard a chorus of SLOW SLOW SLOW from the providers.
Based on threads here I disabled hardware acceleration. On one machine this helped quite a bit. The eRX screen when from 5 seconds (hand timed, not an estimate) down to 1 second. But on another very similar machine the time was about 2 seconds and was not effected by disabling hardware acceleration.
Even at 1-2 seconds for initial draw it's pretty pokey, updates as you work with the screen also take about 1 second and you can see them ripple down the screen.
I have not used this forum in over a year so I only checked with Tech Support before upgrading. I told them we were moving form 5.0.49 and they said "I have heard nothing but good things about 6.0.10". I feel cheated by that statement, we could have easily stayed at 5.0.49 until this was resolved. I really hate to rollback though so we'll have to see how people handle it, it's only been 1 day.
This is with XP server and clients. I've read some stuff here that this issue doesn't happen with Windows 7. Is that rock solid true or just a theory?
Our clients are all about 4 years old and we are considering a big upgrade, we could speed it up if it would resolve this conclusively, but I hate to do that to work around a software problem.
