labview runs quicker when i click onto the scroll bar

We could reduce the testing time (I mean it got reduced by itself automatically ) by 0.2 sec, from 1.2 sec to exactly 1.0 sec, with this thing itself.

Then we did a lot of code optimisation to bring it down drastically to 0.65 sec.

Our boss was very happy, since we could sell 6-8 more ATEs withing a few months only because of the S/W optimisation & improvement.

Back to the original Q

Check the following to see if it makes a differnce

Start >>> Setting Control Panel >>> System

Choose the Advanced Tab and click on the Performance >>> Settings button to open the Performance Options dialog.

On the "Advanced tab" under Processor Scheduling choose "Background services"

LV is multi-threaded so there are background threads that need to execute.

I don't know if the above tidbit will help but it does fit the problem description.

Thanks Ben,

That is certainly something worth investigating.

I do know that refreshing graphics (graphs, pictures, etc) do take extra CPU resources.

I never considered improved performance by scrolling with a mouse.  Interesting nevertheless.

Long time ago one of our customers reported that at the night our system (24x7) is slow. I put some log points into the software. Really, most of cycles was slow around after 22:00, and fast around 06:00 at the morning. After some investigateion I have found DOOM installed on this PC...  🙂 🙂

Well congratulations Andrey!

That is a very good test of how robust your application is. If it can still do its job while the PC is being abused, you did something right!

You legend Ben, the background services thing worked for me!
