FrameMaker 2015 vs. FrameMaker 2019 x64 performance

Report · Dec 16, 2018

I'm evaluating FM2019, hoping to replace FM2015 in structured authoring.

I have created 2 books (~1000 pages) - a datasheet for a product my company makes.

The bulk of the book (900 pages) contains structured FM files that originated from DITA 1.2 and saved as .fm files.

FM2019 opens DITA files significantly faster than FM2015, which get us closer to working with DITA files natively. Not there yet as opening the converted .fm documents is an order of magnitude faster.

The performance degradation comes from updating the book. The 2 books have identical content.

FM2015 takes 20 seconds to perform an update and FM 2019 x64 takes 55 seconds.

The expectation is that 64 bits perform faster not almost 3x slower.

The system:

Core i5-7440HQ (quad core processor)
32GB of RAM (~8GB used)
A very fast NVME SSD
Windows 10 RS3
.Net framework 4.7.2 installed (very important since FM is a .net app)

Any suggestions on how to improve FM2019 performance?

Hi Ariel,

Could you please attach file-set on which you are getting Book update performance issues in Tracker 5839 or mail me directly on punagpal@adobe.com

We are trying to verify issue here.

Thanks

Hi,

The document is Intel Confidential (processor datasheet) so I’ll need to modify the text first and see if the modified version shows the same symptoms.

I’m on vacation until 1/1/2019 so I’ll do it then.
