<p>Mgmagnoj: </p> <hr /> <div>FOG's User Interface runs on your main FOG server, which is likely a well-built machine. The interface experiences some delays responding to user input because of some of the overhead it has to handle, but also because it attempts to provide real-time updates about the status of your hosts.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;UL&gt;There are two settings that can be modified to increase FOGs responsiveness:<br /> &lt;LI&gt;'''Disable animations''':&lt;BR&gt;<br /> About &gt; FOG Settings &gt; General Settings &gt; &lt;tt&gt;FOG_USE_ANIMATION_EFFECTS&lt;/tt&gt;: Set to &lt;tt&gt;0&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> This will make FOG messages appear instantly rather than slowly decending from the top of the page.&lt;br&gt;<br /> :Note: It is usually not necessary to actually click &lt;TT&gt;Ok&lt;/TT&gt; on the message. Just continue to the next task.&lt;/LI&gt;<br /> &lt;LI&gt;'''Disable Host Lookup''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> About &gt; FOG Settings &gt; General Settings &gt; &lt;tt&gt;FOG_HOST_LOOKUP&lt;/tt&gt;: Set to &lt;tt&gt;0&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> :'''Caution''': As noted in [http://www.edugeek.net/forums/o-s-deployment/63902-slow-gui.html this thread], this also has the negative impact of breaking the search-for-hosts-as-you-type feature.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;<br /> Changing the value of FOG_VIEW_DEFAULT_SCREEN in FOG View Settings to 1 saves having to press 'list all' in the hosts and image screens.</div>
