Performance problems with MemoQ Thread poster: Mur99

Hi all,
I have been using MemoQ for about one year and currently I have installed version 8.2.
I have a core i5vPro, 16GB RAM and 128GB SSD notebook, and I have a lot of performance problems.
I work on big projects (2000+ documents opened in one single view) and the program is always very slow (big latency problems) and it is not able to complete some simple tasks, e.g. find and replace to make global changes in the documents, and I experienced a lot of cra... See more Hi all,

I work on big projects (2000+ documents opened in one single view) and the program is always very slow (big latency problems) and it is not able to complete some simple tasks, e.g. find and replace to make global changes in the documents, and I experienced a lot of crashes, loosing a lot of time.
I really don't know if this is due to my computer or if MemoQ has such critical programming problems.
Could you please help me understand and maybe suggest me some hints to optimize the program?
Thank you very much! ▲ Collapse

I have a lot of documents opened at the same time as I am working on big manuals updates. Each document (belonging to the same project) can have only a few segments to translate, but I have to keep all opened, even to make global changes in the whole manual.
A common translation scenario I guess..
So please don't call me dishonest.
Dishonest is who sells softwares not working for basic features you pay for.

William, Mur99 stated in the post that all (up to 2000) of the files are in a view within a *single* project.
This isn't unheard of - I've done projects in Trados with several hundred files, mostly small "modules" of manuals or brochures for complex that then get mixed and matched depending on the the customer's options.
MemoQ is indeed slow with large projects - often it simply cannot keep u with speed with which I can confirm segments with CTRL - ENTER and I find it running 10 or 15 segments behind and/or taking several seconds to confirm a segment and move to next. Not sure what causes it, though restarting the computer sometimes helps.
I haven't noticed this kind of general slowness with Trados, though that software has its own quirks, e.g. painfully slow autopropagation where there are a lot of matching segments, although MemoQ handles this instantly.

I have called for moderator action on this comment. It unjustly and unjustifiedly accuses another person of dishonesty! This is completely out of the way!
| | | | | Recreate the view? | Dec 10, 2017 |
Last week we had a problem with a view that was terribly slow. Deleting the view and creating it again fixed the issue. If this does not work, you could perhaps try to divide the job in several smaller views.
If you want the view to benefit from repetition propagations, you can create a temporary view containing only the repetitions (ask how if you don't know how to do it), translate that, and then create a new view with only the pending parts.

I suspect that your project has many small repeated items that could be dealt with with a view of repetitions, thus reducing the size of the view of the rest and increasing performance. ▲ Collapse

Hi Tomàs and LEXpert,
first of all thank you very much for your reply and for calling the moderator...being unjustly accused this way is really unbelievable and unacceptable!!
Anyway, I tried to delete and recreate the view but I did not solve the problem.
In the past I used to create a number of smaller views, but it took me a lot of time more to complete jobs, and I would definitely need to be able to work on a single view of the whole project.

It would be great if you could give me a brief explanation on how to create a temporary view containing only the repetitions to try to reduce the performance decrease.
I really hope Kilgray can finally solve this problem because even with last updates the situation is the same than the first version I started to work on one year ago.
Thank you again! ▲ Collapse

Sure! It is easy enough. It is all though the Advanced view:
1. Select all documents (or, if you have the Structure enabled, choose the root folder in your set of files).
2. Right-click and choose Create view.
3. Click the link "Advanced options". Give the view a name.
4. Enable Minimum frequency and make sure the scroll number shows at least 2 (you can create views for items repeated very many times by choosing a higher number here).
5. Disable the Keep duplicates box.
6. Click OK.
This creates a view that a) contains anything that is repeated at least 2 times (or a higher number of times, if you chose so) and b) does not contain all the repetitions, but the first instance only. By translating this view, if your documents contain very many repetitions, you get rid of all repeated items in one go.
After dealing with repetitions, is then time to deal with anything else:
1. Select all documents (or, if you have the Structure enabled, choose the root folder in your set of files).
2. Right-click and choose Create view.
3. Click the link "Advanced options". Give the view a name.
4. In the Filter by segment status box, choose the Status tab.
5. Check the boxes for all segments that are not confirmed (at least Not started and Edited).
6. Click OK.
This creates a view containing all items that are not confirmed, i.e. in essence anything that was not done when you translate the repetitions.
Play around with the different options and see the results. You can use views for many things!
I hope this helps a bit.
