Page Zoom - Too Slow (10 Seconds)
-
@hot_denim - Don't know what to tell you. I suppose a VM is not dispositive.
Win10 ran better and used less resources than 7 or 8 on everything I ever put it it on. And that's a pretty fair number of machines.
-
@Ayespy Even when the Minimum memory requirements are 1GB as 512MB compared to Windows 7 (2 times as much), and the same for the processor, ?
-
@hot_denim - "Mimimum" requirements are the same now for both Windows 10 and Windows 7 SP1. 1GB RAM, 1GHz processor.
-
@Ayespy OK
-
@hot_denim - I only know what they are now. I never tracked them. I do know that by the time your Win7 has been updated to SP1, it takes up over twice the space it did when it was installed.
But I do know for sure that if a machine can run 7 and the processor has a somewhat modern instruction set (like MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T), it will run better under Windows 10.

@Ayespy I tried the problem on a HP Mini Netbook (1GB, Intel Atom 1.66Ghz Processor. Intel G45 Graphics).Not a fast machine. This hardware is different in all way from my original machine.
But the problem is still there with this machine also.
By the way, i need to point out, can you try your testing again with the slowest machine of yours, but this time, on the ebay page change the Items Per Page selection to 200 instead of 50 (the url I have does can not account for that). Any difference ?
Any chance you can record 'how' you do your test and post a link to the video (on a slow machine), (like I did) ?
-
@hot_denim - I'll fire it up.
-
@hot_denim - I can't take the time to post a video right now - but I did as you asked and still can't get the old machine to lag.

zoom lags (3 seconds) on my two computers, both running Arch Linux and win 7 x64.

Zoom of pages or a single image is really slow in comparison with other browser like those from Microsoft or Firefox, no matter what hardware Vivaldi runs on. I have Intel HD on one computer and GTX 1060 on other and it sucks on both.
I made a "feature request" recently and it got erased from mods, so maybe it is part of natural improvements the browser will get. Meanwhile, you can set a keyboard shortcut to zoom the content by 2x ratio.
-
@andrewz1986 I've not seen slow zoom anywhere. However, you feature request would have been deleted because you are reporting a bug, not asking for a feature. Don't know who did that.

This one is still there:
@andrewz1986 said in Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14:
Make zooming of web pages and stand-alone images smoother and more responsive.
-
@pesala Good find, thanks. I could not find it before. All of you are welcome to add your vote to the request.
@Ayespy I zoom via Ctrl + Plus or Minus or Ctrl + scroling wheel on mouse. When you you zoom in more steps (from like 100 percent to 170) in one draught, the slowness is really noticable. Sometimes it takes like a second to get to the final zoom stage. In IE or FF, it is almost instant. Input lag when the action is initiated is not that bad. While it is quite acceptaple here in the forum, it is almost shameful on site like https://www.idnes.cz/ – complexity of website is also a factor.
Pinch to zoom on touch screen is another story. IE and Edge are great, FF is incredibly slow and Vivaldi do not react to the gesture at all.

I feel your pain
Ctrl + Mouse Wheel zoom is very annoying in Vivaldi.Here is an old thread:
Unstaisfying zoom level with "Ctrl + Mouse Wheel" when scrolling fastFirefox
1 movement: zoom 100-150%
2 movement (after a few seconds): zoom 150-100%Vivaldi (exactly the same scrolling)
1 movement: zoom 100-110%
2 movement (after a few seconds): zoom 110-100% -
One year later... Follow the zoom slider at the bottom right corner. Sometimes it takes seconds to re-render the page after the zoom level is changed. To go from max to min zoom level, it takes 20 seconds. Core i5 4690k, GTX 1060 6GB, 20 GB RAM, W7 64bit

@andrewz1986 In Settings, Appearance, try "Use buttons for range control."
-
Hi, this seams to be a Windows only problem, zoom on Linux works without delay even on my old core2duo laptop.
Cheers, mib
-
@pesala Thanks for your suggestion, but this is just another way how to access slow rendering engine feature. What you see on video was arranged for the purpose of demonstration. In regular use, i do not even have status bar visible.
-
I tried latest final build of Vivaldi and I'm surprised that when I use slider on the status bar (hover it over with mouse cursor and scrolling the wheel on mouse) to perform the zoom, re-rendering process is pretty fast, almost on par with Firefox. Unfortunately, status bar area is too small, so it's pretty uncomfortable. Could we get the same speed when performing the zooming via Ctrl + rolling the scrolling wheel please?
-
@andrewz1986 It's instantaneous here. Wonder what's different about your setup?
