I just test the loading speed with OS4 Pre4 and it took less than 2 seconds... I'l say 1.8 second
The easiest way to test this is to?make two directories on your boot partition (OS4_Pre4 and OS4_Final), then you copy your backup of your OSPre4 in the directory OS4_Pre4, then MOVE all files/directory from SYS: to OS4_Final and MOVE all files/directory from OS_Pre4 to your SYS:, then reset the A1 (CTRL+ALT-L+ALT-R). I'm sure you know how to go back to your OS4_Final. ;o)
I just try to reinstall from scratch the Collector program and I had the same problem, it crash when trying to make thumbnails. I replace a library.
Check in your libs if you have the latest popupmenu.library, maybe you overwrite the one you have or you did not have one, after replacing this library with that one (popupmenu.library 52.1 (2006-12-09) It doe'nt crash anymore.
The index file is on my SYS (SmartFilesystem 1.267), I try to load the file from RAM and still loading very slow.
Another test I made (not recommended), I install the kickstart directory of my backup (OS4 Update 4) on my SYS and made a Hard Reset, then I try to load the index file and it load fast like before.
The cause of the slow loading come from one of the kickstart file but I can't figure wich one(s).
Since the OS4 Final my index file from Collector 3.5 load 10 times slower... I made several test and the cause of the problem come from one or more files in the kickstart directory.
