Retrieving File Very Slow - Style Library In |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has two files that are similar in content, both about the same size. It takes about 20 seconds to retrieve one file while the other file takes about 6 minutes. Solutions: The customer retrieved a style library into the document prefixes. The first prefix was 19,761 bytes, and the second was 41,018 bytes. The style library contained over 256 styles. After the document prefixes of both documents were deleted, WP retrieved both documents within seconds. How/Why: The key to retrieving files containing styles in the prefix within a reasonable amount of time is to keep the number of styles in a style library to a reasonable amount. What is a reasonable amount? A Problem Resolution specialist tested the time it took WP to retrieve a file containing various amounts of styles on a Compaq 386/20 computer. Retrieving a document containing 50 styles took 3 seconds, 75 styles took 8 seconds, 100 styles took 14 seconds, 125 styles took 30 seconds, and 149 styles took 53 seconds. The file size of all 149 styles was 53K. The results may vary depending on the style library and the computer, but it appears there is a maximum number of styles that a user can keep in a style library and still maintain reasonable performance. |
