Hi all,
I am not an expert in this. In fact , I am one of the very new user of
athena.
But have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the whole package
again? ( I am sure you have but since you didnt mentioned just wondering?)
Sometimes, that also helps. not sure why and how? but it did for me.

Nils,
We run Athena on non-wimpy Windows 7 systems at our beamline computers all the time, using both 64- and 32-bit Windows, and typically on multi-core machines with at least 16 Gb RAM and multiple screens. Like Robert, we don't see any real performance problems with a handful (<50) spectra. Athena rarely makes a very big dent in the system resources (well, comparable to a web browser, so a bit of a hog, but well under 1Gb RAM).
Perhaps what you're seeing is related to the plotting with Gnuplot. I'm not sure why that would be a problem... Any ideas?

Hi,
I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing issues with Athena in more high-end systems running Windows 7? While I am used to having to wait for the *first* plot to show up, the software is virtually unusable to me now where any slight change (e.g. modifying range for the spline) to already imported data takes up to over a minute to replot. This didn’t use to be the case for me. The system is a laptop running Win 7 Professional with 2.40 GHz i7 CPU/16 GB RAM with plenty of space on the hard drives and a dedicated Intel HD 4600 graphics circuit.
If anyone has a work-around for this problem or can suggest anything to make Athena usable again, it would be most appreciated. Has anyone noticed previous versions of Athena running more smoothly?
Best regards,
Nils
