This isn´t really a problem. Java is runnning slower than other languages like C++, sberlin suggested how to increase the speed of it.

He wants to know when this problem starts and if this happens always.

Hello.

I'm using Limewire 3.4.5 on an iMac 233. I located the limewire.lax text document, but cannot locate the line you mentioned in order to make the suggeted modification. The text I located begins with "# LaunchAnywhere (tm) Executable Properties File - Zero G Software, Inc."

Are you referring to a different version of Limewire, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Download 3.8.5. I _think_ we let the JIT on again in that release.

I downloaded the newer version, as you suggested, and made the recommended change to the .lax file. It then took 3 minutes to open the 3.8.6 version of the program. Is that normal?

I am running 0S 9.2 on a 233 iMac.
Thanks.

I'm using the new LW 4.0.3 on Mac OS 9.2.2, tell me where to look for the line to change lax.nl.macos.java.compiler=off to #lax.nl.macos.java.compiler=off, I can't find it, even with a word search. And my downloads are slow as molasses on this.

This is my limewire.lax file.

Zzzzhuh?!

Oh... I just downloaded the newest version of Limwire Pro, wich is 4.0.2. for the OS.x. nice touch putting in the message about freezing the classic version at 4.0 AFTER paying, especially since that annoying pop-up tells me I can get a newer version...

I could swear i had 4.0.7 before, I'm not sure, but that kinda sucks.

Anyways, I cant find that line of code where I'm supposed to put in the "#" to fix the JIT problem. Do I have to download an older version?

I'm really pleased to have paid another 18 bucks for a useless 30 seconds laggin' limewire. Woohoo!

I definitely agree with Rent-A-Ninja: just downloaded Limewire Pro 4.5 is running on a G4, 450 Mhz, with 640 Mb Ram... (MacOs 9.2.2) and it is so slow...!
I can't find that line of code where I'm supposed to put in the "#" to fix the JIT problem in the LimeWire.lax document.
Can someone help???

Umm ... I think you'll find it somewhere in the thread called 'For those who can't connect' in the connections section. It's 37 pages long but I'm sure it's within the 1st 25 pages somewhere. that's the last place I can remember seeing it. Have a look from p1 anyway. You might pick up some hints!

What do you mean with p1???
Anyway thanks!

Hi, can somebody understand what's going on???
As I said in a previous post I bought LW Pro 4 (no 4.5) for Mac Os 9, and it was extremely slow.
As you suggested I started reading the forum on connections - where I lost myself, but found the tip to get faster response from the software (declicking auto connect at startup). The first time it got really better, but a second time never happened again... The software got stuck up at "Connecting..." for hours...
After several days, several other installations - always without success - today I tried to remove everything from my hard disk, and download again LW BASIC, and it works!!!

In the meantime I found that in LW Pro:
1. the uninstaller actually leaves some files on the hard disk
2. the file err.txt says what follows, maybe it is of some interest for you:
