My ArcaOS 5.1 machine has started to get sluggish. Not sure what I can check. For example, opening Drives takes 10 seconds to show the drives, Firefox takes 30 seconds to open.. etc.
Machine is a Dell Precision T3610:
4 Core XEON E5-1603 @ 2.80 Ghz
4 GB RAM
500GB 7200 RPM Mechanical Drive in AHCI mode
I turned off all Virtualization in BIOS.
I don't know what to look for, or where to start. Any help is appreciated.

I have similar long time but it only occurs when I have Big NTFS or not known OS/2 ormaUSB key plugged. (not recognized disk format unde ArcaOS has not have the same result and can be ignored at boot time)
Once I remove the USB key, system goes faster. as well, after openeing dirves one time, next time are faster but not as fast as without the USB key (or USB disk)
Q: Do you have efat, ntfs or unrecognized USB key ledt plugged in at boot time ?
christech:
I think I had the ArcaOS USB installer in and my Describe CDROM..
I also got a 500GB Samsung SSD to install UEFI ArcaOS onto.

Hi
Just wondering if this is multimedia related...
CWMM (multimedia) checks drives and ID tags which may be causing a slowdown.
The good news is that you can turn those checks off in OS2.INI using an INI file editor eg Ini Editor from the INITOOLS package http://web.archive.org/web/20120513231650/http://www.os2world.com/goran/zip/initool110lng.zip
You need to add the following Keys to the CWMM Application
Keys Values
mmClsDontCheckDrives ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
mmClsDontReadID3On Drives ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
If you want a drive to be checked simply remove it from the above Values .
Regards
Pete

I'm just curious, what are the utility/function of checking the drive ID Tags that CWMM does? I'm just asking since I don't know much about all the stuff that CWMM has.

Hi Martin
Something to do with mp3 files I think... don't know as I listen to music not mp3s :-)
The CWMM Help is installed in \MMOS2\MMCLASS\cwmm.hlp
