very slow performance of skyline with saved .sky file after opening | kguehrs | 2018-02-19 05:33 | |||||||||
Hello Skyline team, I use Skyline (64 bit) 4.1.11796 with a MS1 filtering approach. There are 5 Mascot .dat files and 5 Thermo .raw files (not named the same way but correctly assigned)that I copied to my local harddrive. My computer is not very highly equipped in terms of both processors and RAM and therefore I do not expect it to be superfast. Preparing the library took quite a while but after this was finished I was able to manually remove peptides or poor peaks, edit peak boundaries for re-integration and do refinement of the protein list without too much delay. I saved the project without any problem. However, when I try to complete the editing after opening the saved .sky file another day the performance of Skyline is very slow compared with the same manipulations on the day of project creation. Switching between samples or retention time or peak area windows needs a very long time and I see in the Windows task manager that Skyline is using lots of processor capacity just for switching between replicate tiles what I cannot understand. Is there any difference in the way Skyline links the files (spectra and chromatograms) between a freshly created and an re-opened saved file? If the problem is my computer I would be interested to learn the minimal and recommended hardware requirement for the different versions of Skyline. Perhaps, it would be a good idea to place this information on the download site of Skyline (either as text or as a link). Did you ever hear before about the behaviour I described. Is there any suggestion how I can prevent the current situation? |
