This has been an issue that has been discussed regularly since Jaws 2018. It has been improved from time to time. But Jaws certainly has an issue when it has a large virtual buffer. I don't believe Jaws is optimally using all available resources in multi core systems in every situation. I also don't think that every process is using ram in a very efficient way. I haven't looked, but I wonder if every process is optimally written to take advantage of a 64 bit architecture? I should notice better performance from Jaws in situations where I'm running it on very powerful hardware. I wonder if there are waits baked in to certain actions? I certainly find that over all, NVDA is more snappy. That said, there have been times in the past few years where I have recognised that Jaws takes a large step forward in performance in many areas. Arrowing through the message list in Outlook being a very good example of this. -----Original Message----- From: Billy Irwin via Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2024 12:36 PM To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Billy Irwin <billy.irwin@outlook.com> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Large Data Sets Hi All, I wanted to bounce this off the group and get out of my own head space in regards to this. I've frequently run into issues with JAWS where either spreadsheets or large tables on a webpage that has say more than 100 records seems to either crash jaws or it takes a really long time for it to get loaded into memory. before you can actually do anything with it. I experienced this on machines that have I9 processors and 64 GB RAM. I have tried in the past to raise this concern with Freedom Scientific but I can't seem to get this escalated to the dev team so they can duplicate it. In the latest releases of JAWS 2023 and 2024, they have a bug that breaks table navigation entirely. I raises these concerns back in early December. Their temporary solution was to provide me with a Release Candidate which helped since I didn't immediately have the installer for the previous build. I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions or any work arounds that you all have come up with if any. I was going to attempt to try and use NVDA more often, but the Code Factory voices that I wanted are not purchasable via their site unless you can understand Spanish.
