Computer slowed down after installation and configuration of Apache TomCat, and Eclipse. All application slowed down.?

Question

Last month, we installed and configured Java Development Kit (JDK) and it slowed my computer. Resulted to FPS drops in some of my video games. CSGO and a like.

I didnt know what to do so i just reformatted my laptop since Ive had so many stuff i didnt need anyway. It worked and fixed the problem.

A month later (today) we installed and configured Apache TomCat and Eclipse. My computer slowed again.

What should i do?

Answer 1

I haven't seen installing the JDK do that on any version of Windows (guessing that it *is* Windows, 'cause that's where most of the games that have FPS considerations are) but so far, the systems I've built or used are on Win7 and earlier.



What I have seen cause serious slowdown from a small change is paging, but that's usually only with trying to run newer versions of Windows on older systems with 2GB or less of RAM. You'll see the hard drive light on pretty solidly when this is happening--each task switch causes pages to be written to the swap file to make room to read in pages for the new task. This is "thrashing", and it happens when the "working set" of pages needed for all active tasks to run smoothly is larger than available memory.



In any case, some resource is being hogged (probably one of CPU, disk, network or memory) and you can find out who is doing it with the system resource monitor.



Use the start menu search (or Cortana on 10 I guess) to find it. There's also a button on task manager's Performance tab.



Also use blinkenlights on your computer. If the disk activity light is solid on, then you've got either lots of disk I/O in a high priority system task, or possibly thrashing. If not, it's most likely CPU or blocking on network I/O.



Good luck!

Answer 2

I suggest, for you to take a look at your hardware such as your computer's memory.



You have not said anything about freezing, and crashing, but your computer might eventually get to this point. I recommend, for you to first check your physical memory (RAM). If your computer has very little memory that's available, then I think your computer will slow down, freeze, and then crash.



You can also check the status of your CPU.



I use Apache, and I know Apache does not slow down computers after installation, and configuration. In addition, I never used Apache TomCat. FYI...I installed Apache on my computer, and I configured it as well.



Lastly my computer has not slowed down in a long time, and my computer has not frozen, or crashed.

Answer 3

Each and every piece of software that is install on a computer that is set to open on start up has to have a portion of it loaded into memory. It does not take long to use up most of free available memory. Go to programs and features and uninstall all junk, unknown, unneeded programs. Now, open startup in take manager and un-check all programs that are not system/driver apps that you do not need to launch at start up. They will still work just fine but they will not slow down your rig while serving no purpose. All computers require this to be done occasionally. The new games should not need to load at startup. It will take them a few seconds more to start when you launch them. Look at "performance" in task manager.
