Logos Running Slowly

Is Logos running unacceptably slowly for you? Some people have experienced this. Here are some suggestions which together should improve the performance dramatically. Try them in no particular order, depending on what is easiest for you.

\\

!!! Upgrade to Logos 7 (Windows)

If possible upgrade to Logos 7 as that has received some significant performance enhancements, mainly to improve startup times.

!!! Some tweaks in Logos

!!!!! These tweaks have been identified which have improved performance for people who have had performance issues despite perfectly good hardware.

…

!!! Disable anti-virus on-access scanning of Logos files

* Since Logos is hard drive intensive an anti-virus (or even some backup utilities) scanning files as you use them can really slow the program down. Exempting the Logos folder from this scan in your anti-virus program can restore lost performance. Please note that not all AV programs use this protection strategy, consult the help file/documentation to find out if it does and if so how to add the following exemption:

* Windows Vista/7/8/10: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Logos

* Windows 8/10: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Logos

* Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\Logos4

* Mac OS X: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Logos4

 

…

 * Click Set

 * After clicking OK you will have to restart your computer for these changes to take effect.
