Performance Issues

1. Close FabriXWork completely
2. Wait 10-15 seconds
3. Reopen and try again

macOS:
1. Open Activity Monitor (Applications → Utilities)
2. Check CPU and Memory tabs
3. If CPU > 80% or Memory > 80%, close other apps

Windows:
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager
2. Check CPU and Memory usage
3. If high, end unnecessary processes

Long conversations can slow down the app:
1. Start a new session with the agent
2. Archive or close old conversations
3. Keep only active sessions open

- Close chat windows you're not actively using
- Limit to 2-3 active agent sessions at once
- Agents run locally and use system resources

- Run a speed test
- If download < 10 Mbps, try a different network
- For best performance, use wired connection

macOS:
1. Press Cmd+Option+Esc
2. Select FabriXWork
3. Click "Force Quit"
4. Reopen after 10 seconds

Windows:
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc
2. Find FabriXWork in Processes
3. Right-click → End Task
4. Reopen after 10 seconds

If working with large files:
- Files > 50MB may cause slowdowns
- Split into smaller files if possible
- Process files one at a time

macOS:
1. Close FabriXWork
2. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/
3. Find FabriXWork folder
4. Clear cache files (backup first if needed)
5. Restart

Windows:
1. Close FabriXWork
2. Go to %APPDATA%\FabriXWork\
3. Clear cache files
4. Restart

Some applications may conflict:
- Other AI tools running simultaneously
- Heavy development environments (IDEs)
- Virtual machines
- Video rendering software

Try closing these and testing performance.

Complex tasks use more resources:
- Break large tasks into smaller steps
- Process files in batches
- Allow agents time between tasks

- Each active agent uses resources
- Close chat sessions you're not using
- Keep only 1-2 agents active at a time

macOS:
1. Open Activity Monitor
2. Sort by CPU or Memory
3. Quit unnecessary processes

Windows:
1. Open Task Manager
2. Sort by CPU or Memory
3. End unnecessary tasks

Performance improvements often come in updates:
1. Go to Settings in FabriXWork
2. Check for available updates
3. Install if available

Minimum recommended specs:
- RAM: 16GB (8GB minimum)
- CPU: 4 cores or more
- Storage: SSD (not HDD)
- Free space: 5GB+

- HDD drives are much slower than SSD
- If possible, store working files on SSD
- External drives should be USB 3.0+ SSD

- Processing 100+ files at once is slow
- Batch process in groups of 10-20
- Use filters to narrow file scope

Some formats process faster:
- ✅ Fast: TXT, CSV, JSON
- ⚠️ Medium: DOCX, XLSX
- ❌ Slow: Large PDFs, scanned documents

Convert to faster formats when possible.

- Local folders are faster than network drives
- Avoid processing files from cloud-synced folders (Dropbox, OneDrive) during sync
- Use local storage for active work

- Run a continuous ping test:
  macOS/Windows: ping -t google.com (in Terminal/Command Prompt)
- Look for packet loss or high latency
- If unstable, try different network

- WiFi can be unstable
- Ethernet cable provides more reliable connection
- If WiFi is only option, move closer to router

- Pause large downloads/uploads
- Ask others on network to reduce usage
- Avoid video streaming while using FabriXWork

If on corporate network:
1. Contact IT to verify FabriXWork is allowed
2. Check if proxy settings are needed
3. Ensure firewall isn't blocking connections

Instead of one long session:
- Work in 30-60 minute focused sessions
- Close and restart between sessions
- This clears memory and improves performance

Instead of: "Process all 500 files at once"
Do: "Process files in batches of 25"

Batch 1: Files 1-25
Batch 2: Files 26-50
...etc.

Run resource-intensive tasks when:
- You don't need your computer for other work
- Network is less congested (early morning, late evening)
- You can let the computer focus on one task

Check regularly:
- Available disk space (keep 10%+ free)
- Memory usage (keep under 80%)
- CPU temperature (if monitoring tools available)
- Network speed and stability
