Is the manager slow for anyone else in MODx Revolution 2.0.0-beta-1?

Hi,

btw, does anyone know a good & clean solution to install Chrome without the GoogleUpdate.exe (or at least without trying to upde all the time) ? i once kicked chrome off my system, and even then GoogleUpdate.exe was still active...i’m not a tinfoil-hat at all, but i like to have some control over the applications ;-)

Personally I love having it auto update as I don’t need to go update 10 computers and the less computer savvy users get updates so we don’t have IE6 Syndrome again... Anyways this should do the trick for you: http://lifehacker.com/5163115/install-google-chrome-without-googles-pushy-updater

actually i did install this version a few days ago (my second chrome-installation), and GoogleUpdate.exe got installed with it (reading the comments on lifehacker, others realized as well)...i also changed the settings in the GoogleUpdateTaskUser to update once a week (later disabling it completely), but still no luck...GoogleUpdate.exe kept trying to connect & annoyed me, i also couldn’t figure out where all the chrome programme files where installed to (in order to rename & change parts of it) so i kicked it off a second time...maybe i’m just too picky  but, as much as i like the speed of this browser, i don’t like how it sneaks into & takes control from me

That’s a bummer...

If you read through the comments you find this link which is claimed to be the real standalone: http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/154.53/chrome_installer.exe

And, as mentioned elsewhere, make sure you aren’t running Firebug; in fact, I recommend disabling it completely for best performance with the Revo manager. It makes an insane performance difference.

Thanks. What I did was to physically remove all recurrences of GoogleUpdate from my machine. Chrome’s working fine and it hasn’t come back as mentioned in some of those posts.

I’m also finding the manager too slow (several seconds to expand the resources tree on the left; several seconds to populate a select input). It’s makes the Evolution manager easier to use (though not as beautiful, slick or generally awesome). Hopefully some js optimisation will help.

No chance of an ajax/oldschool compromise where the resource tree and select boxes are pre-populated and ajax updating is only invoked when something changes?
