Customer conveyed this to me this morning. A manager was in TeamLinks
2.7 and using the Spell Checker found that the words displayed back
very slowly. Note this is a Pentium 133 running Windows95 w 32 MEG
of memory. At the time no other applications were running. Other
Windows 95, Anti-virus and TeamLinks. No one users seemed to experience
a slow down while even doing spell checking. I tried on a 486
66 with 32 MEG running Windows NT 4.0 and TeamLinks 2.7 and it was
fine. Other applications on her PC were checked (WORD, EXCEL) and they
seemed to function at a reasonably good speed. This user with the
problem first noticed this today. Yesterday it was fine. At it
seems constant. A reboot was done and it still was slow in the Spell
Checker.
We were wondering if this user might have added in so many words
into her personal dictionary that is where the slow down is.
Can someone comment?

Does any other part of TL run slowly? Is it possible that TRACE logging is enabled on that PC? Not sure if that would effect the Spell Checker, but it would slow down TL in general. Logging is controlled by the CfcLogOptions entry in the [TeamLinks] section of Office.ini. If one of the tokens in there is TRACE, then TL will run slower. Remove it to disable trace logging.

| 2074.2 | Alas, no data on that...but easy to test, here's how | MANANA::HOVEY | Wed Mar 19 1997 13:05 | 14 | |
I don't have any performance information for you on personal dictionary size; but it would be quick and easy to test this. Go into the create message window: Options-->Spell Check options. Change the personal dictionary file to something else. See if the checker runs faster with the empty pd. You might give the pd file a quick edit and find out how many words are in there. Seems to me the expected design is around 100 or so. The TeamLinks 3.0 EFT2 is supposed to have a newer version of the spell checker. Although primarily just an update of the dictionaries, I think something was said about performance improvements for large pd's. I haven't gotten any feedback on the use of pd's with teamlinks so I didn't pay much attention. | |||||
