Hi
I have a desktop and a laptop, both with fully updated Fedora 29. The laptop is a fresh installation while the desktop has been upgraded from previous versions of Fedora. And I have Josm installed on both.
Now the problem is that on the desktop Josm has become really slow. You need some serious patience to use it. On the laptop it works fine as it did on the desktop before. I've tried to reinstall Josm, but that didn't help.
Josm is a Java application.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Cheers Robin

If it runs better on the laptop than the desktop, that may indicate a memory issue (either fragmentation or lack of free memory). Does it behave better on the desktop if you reboot it? If so, then it's most likely one of these issues. You probably restart the laptop more often than the desktop so the laptop wouldn't exhibit the issue as readily.
Utilities like free, vmstat and top can also help you see if it's a memory issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, do you have the same version from Fedora repositories on both? You can try also to run the jnlp from
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
or even flatpack
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.openstreetmap.josm
The speed of running can be also caused by the hardware (you did not point out if the hardware is similar or completely different). There are many possibilities.
Do you have some josm plugins installed? Cleaning up some configuration directories might also help, but I never had a problem with JOSM performance (except for the fact that it is a java application).
Regards, Jakub

Thank you. That was it. My desktop josm had more than a dozen plugins that had aggregated over the years. I threw them out and reinstalled the ones I knew I wanted. After that my desktop josm was as responsive as ever.
