Slowness (delay) when accessing System preferences via Alfred


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm using Alfred since one year. After releasing v.2 I switched to it.

On version 2 I can see big lag (or delay about 15-20 seconds) when trying access System Preferences. For example I write in Alfred "Disp", choosing "Displays" and need wait about 15-20 seconds to show preference dialog. Same story with "Network" or all other dialogs in system preference.

 

If I use Spotlight instead Alfred or click System Preferences->Displays dialogs displays almost immediately. It is almost identical on my both mac's. When using Alfred v.1 there was no any delay like in Spotlight.

Can anybody help me solve this problem?

 

My hardware:

15" Retina MBP ML 10.8.3 - about 10-12 seconds delay

11" MB Air ML (last model) 10.8.3 - about 15-20 seconds delay

 

Best wishes

That definitely shouldn't be happening. By chance is there some network location or external device that may have spun down that you are also indexing? Wondering if Alfred is hanging while attempting to search a drive that has spun down.

Hi,

 

I'm sorry for delay in answer. No, I have not any connected drives or network drives. I will not call it as Alfred hanging. In my opinion Alfred is working and is responsible when trying to display System preferences but it taking so long. I need agree it is inconsistent. It always take long at first attempt but second and all other are typically much faster but not always, mostly third one is as fast as form Apple menu. 

Can I make other test for help?

In midtime I created new account, disable all started at login software (Dropbox, Cafeine, TextExpander and other) and nothing changed, problem still occur. 

It is definitely something wrong with Alfred 2.
