Oddyssey is very sluggisch overhere on my SAM 460.
Loading pages (and switching TABs) takes way to long. And Odyssey becomes onresponsive each time a page is loaded for a couple of seconds (Nothing works, sliders, text fields, navigation buttons, TAB switching etc.)

I clocked downloading from OS4Depot using netspeedometer (and the download window of Odyssey itself) at 1.8 MB/s.
Loading my gf's website it tops at 3 MB/s
So the connection seems fine.

During the lockup a few bytes are sent, but no download activity.

I use the inboard ethernet port through a router.
OS4.1fe itself is not affected when this problem occurs.

My PC has no such delays, so the connection through the router to the ISP seems fine.

This is realy anoying, I find myself avoiding browsing on my SAM for this reason,

Is this normal behavior ? Or did I mess it up somewhere down the line ?

I Installed FE from scratch,

Hope some can help me out in any way.

Thanks

Martin

Did you encounter this behaviour with AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6 ?

I believe this is normal, when you open many tabs simultaneously. Yes, sometimes Odyssey seems to lag for a while, but then it resumes loading the page or whatever. This happens to me when the page I'm trying to load has many stuff for downloading.

I just cllicked on comment to write this, and the comment page loaded, but then locked for a second or so before I could type anything in the text field.

I have only one tab open.

When I clicked Submit to submit previous comment, al loaded but locked for a second before I could do anything again.

Not realy pleasant browsing like this....

If you didn't have any similar problem before (with the update 6), then probably it's a problem with the Final release ... using the Final i also found some slugglish here and there, sometimes pages are very slow to load too

Sounds like a harddrive problem to me. easy way to test is to drag the odyssey drawer to ram and run it from there.

I suspect it's either an FFS partition validating in the background, the partition you have odyssey on has or is very full leading to fragmented files, a bad or lose cable to the drive leading to many retries.

The multiple tabs problem is because odyssey unlike IBrowse uses the max number of connections globaly for all the tabs instead of locally for each tab.

ps. to any adyssey devs... Fix the bookmarks quicklink list so when you click an entry it jumps to it in the title list.

We are some to have exactly the same problem with FE.
By testing the same actions under 4.1.6, no problem.

Now, the problem will be to send this FE "bug" to os4 devs...

Have you tried a clean setup of OWB (reinstall) just to see its not some old config problems etc. And yes it felt like that for me to when switching to FE. But now my memory forgot how it was before so i cant say much :) except that it works a bit better when i reinstalled odyssey

@Metalheart

Not sure if it is FE. Odyssey is working at the same speed here under FE as it was under update6. But I appear to be one of the lucky ones as I've been using FE daily for the last few weeks without a single crash while there seems to be a lot that are constantly getting crashes under FE.

I have SFS/2 on all my partitions.
I installed OS4 on a SSD disk, Odyssey together with SImplemail and other web related programs on the same SSD disk in a different partition.

I'm running Odyssey from RAM right now and it seems a bit more responsive. Have to do some more testing.

I'm copying my Comm partition to another drive, and will reformat the Comm partition, and copy back all Comm stuff.
I hope it will be a bit less fragmented after this.
The disk isnt full. 44 Gb free 25 Gb in use

edit: Ok, disk formatted, everything copied back. And now Osyssey seems to be a lot more responsive
Probably fragmentation was the problem.

What does Odyssey write to disk, since it seems to rely heavyly on fadt working drive acces ?

@Metalheart

check odyssey/conf/ drawer. it writes some db files to remember passwords, where you been etc. Also in conf/fonts conf/localstorage etc.

@Kicko

I remember now. just delete de db file and all becomes smooth again.

@K-L

I found one massive topsites.db file (almost 230 Mb) and deleted it.
Also local storage had a gazillion files in it. I deleted them (after backing up, just to be sure).

Lets see if that does anything...

This happens to me a lot. Odyssey seems to just lock and the GUI becomes totally unresponsive - until it decides to start running again. It is not FE, as I get the same when booting different OS versions.

It may be tabs as I do mostly browse using several tabs.

The problem usually occurs on sites that horrendous amounts of JS and CSS files or even just a lot of images.

Even after the GUI becomes responsive again the downloading gets "stuck" and the only way forward is to click the "led lamps" and the bottom right to open the Network Activity window and Abort the remaining (and not responding) network connections.

This works but seems to show another bug, though the network connections abort, the status of the LED indicators is not updated - and those corresponding to the aborted connections remain in use. When all the LEDs run out it is not possible to make any more connections and the only way forward is to Quit Odyssey and run it again from scratch.

I am sure it is nopthing to do with FE but Odyssey has some problem with the network connections that causes the lockups and dead threads.

I use a PRISM2 wireless connection usually but I do get the same using the X1000 internal ethernet port.

Well, I think it's solved.
Reformatting (and thus defragmenting the drive) and removing those files I mentioned above seems to do the trick.

btw... Any diskspeed testing software for OS4 around ?
