<P class=MsoNormal>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m technical editor for IEEE 802.11REVmb, this is a
spec for a wireless LAN protocol, and is current 2,600 pages in
length.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The standard is a single book file comprising about 40 .fm
files. I’m using Frame 9 on Win 7 64 bit.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have had two problems recently with this:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph style="TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><SPAN
style="mso-list: Ignore">1.<SPAN
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
</SPAN></SPAN><![endif]>Slow operation with large files.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph style="TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><SPAN
style="mso-list: Ignore">2.<SPAN
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
</SPAN></SPAN><![endif]>Slow compare operation.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The process we go through in IEEE standards is that large
chunks of contributory material (called amendments)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>are prepared and approved elsewhere. Then I get to roll
in the change. The last two amendments were 400<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>and 200 pages in length, consisting of a mixture of
straight additional material and marked up changes.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Two files in particular have grown a lot
recently. One is a 50/50 mix of text and tables. The
other is pure text.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>They are both about 400 pages in length each. (The
source with text/tables is 4MB in length, the other one is
2MB).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Recently operations have slowed down. Frame has started
running out of memory (screen not rendering properly,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>using a system font instead of proper font) when doing lots
of work in the mixed file. Cross-reference
operations<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>(the bane of my life) take forever (i.e., 10s
user-interface response to any key, 30s pause after adjusting
xref).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have to prepare a “redline” document, which I do by a
book compare with a previous release. With these
files<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>of this length, and a substantial number of
operations, this appears to be slowing down. I killed one
compare on<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>the purely text file after 4 hours of CPU time on a fast
desktop machine. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have split these files into 4 chunks, and life has
improved a lot. OK, 400 pages is a long file (in terms of
could<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I read it before bedtime), but 4MB is not much compared
with the memory that frame occupies (200MB) or the<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>amount of memory on my machine (2GB).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Have others observed this behaviour? Am I missing
any tricks in dealing with big files?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
