Another Launcher - The ultimate power tool?
The features of this app are impressive, and it really seems to take the Launchbar idea and expand on it in some interesting ways. But, man, is it slow! Granted I'm running on an iBook 700, but it really seems to be unresponsive to my mouse clicks. In comparison, Launchbar (and most other apps) really fly. Am I missing something?

i've got a dual 1.8 and it's slower when typing in keywords than launchbar
Try turning off Always Up-to-Date
It fly's even on my Pismo 400!
boosting search speed
I found Another Launcher abysmally slow until I checked "Only Applications" under "Consider External Contents" in its Advanced preference tab (which also automatically disables "Always up-to-date"). I also removed unneeded/nonexistent search directories. Now it's as fast as LaunchBar, but also doesn't seek through as many items.
Another Launcher - The ultimate power tool?
Another Launcher used to be slow to load on 10.2.8 for me, before upgrading to 10.3. But the whole 10.2.8 system was really slow as well. It is really srtange, but over more than a year of usage, my 10.2.x system has gardually became SLOW! After uprgading to 10.3, later on to 10.3.1, my iMac is back to normal, and the launch time of Another Launcher is back to normal as well. Strange that it took some time till Another Launcher and the system became speedy again!
Run maintenance...
Are you running frequent Maintenance scripts? Use something like Maintain. Remove Cache files and re-do the prebinding and permissions. Since I have a clone (CCC) being done every night, all this is taken care of. My system rarely slows down - 10.2.8 on a Pismo/400. |
