ThinkingRock Forum

Hi,
I'm new to Thinking Rock and just recently started looking into GTD. I installed Thinking Rock 2 but it seems awefully slow on my machine. I'm running it on a laptop with 2 GB ram (dual core as well) but I still feel that it's slow. The installed Java JDK is 1.6.0_03 and I'm running on Windows XP SP2 with all updates. Any ideas? Would JDK 1.5 provide me with better performance? If so, what would I have to do? Under C:\Program Files\Java\, I have jre1.5.0_06, jre1.5.0_10 and jre_1.6.0_03. Thanks for your help.

PS. I also seem to have problems with some small blocks of the screen not getting updated. Also, Process Explorer shows that there is nothing eating up my CPU utilization (it's about 11%) and I have over 600 MB free of physical memory with 730 MB in system cache.

Try something like that. It's worked fine for me and TR is now fast enought.

Java 1.6 should be the best performer. Can you look at the log file (it may be in your "view" menu) to confirm which version of Java is being found by ThinkingRock?
