Clara HD Is there a way to speed up my Kobo?

LucyOne · 08-28-2020, 04:19 AM

After installing the Kobo Cloud hack (access to DropBox and Google Drive) as well as the one-click-package for KOReader, my Clara HD running on Firmware 4.23.15548 (also patched) has considerably slowed down.

Is there a trick to speed it up again? Maybe remove some books, change something in the database?

I seem to recall people mentioning a performance issue on recent FW with the Kobo Cloud stuff, but I can't quite recall the exact culprit... Check the thread?

The other stuff should have zero impact on performance.

Also, define "slowed down" ^^. What are you thinking of, exactly?

Well, it takes a few seconds to react and to open a book. Definitely slower than before.

I removed KFMon and this has definitely helped some.

That... makes absolutely no sense, unless something is seriously going awry somewhere

.

I'd ask for system logs and KFMon logs, but you're going to have a hard time getting at those without shell access and no KFMon

.

(i.e., KFMon spends 99.999% of its time essentially sleeping, waiting for the kernel to tell it: hey, something you're looking at was open'ed! And even besides that, the surface area of potential interaction with user-visible latency is nearly nil).

Uninstall the Kindle Cloud hack. That's most likely your problem.
