Speeding Up Performance


There are several adjustments you can make to increase performance speed. These adjustments can reduce the time it takes to load documents, load images, and display images.

Loading Documents Faster

You can speed up the time it takes to load documents by specifying that they will be loaded without images. Once you have loaded the document, you can choose to load specific images. By selectively loading images, you can browse more quickly and only view the images that you really want.

To specify that documents will be loaded without images:

  1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
  2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Display.
  3. Deselect Load Images Automatically.
  4. Click OK to close Preferences.

Loading Images Faster

You can set up Navigate with an Accent to use multiple network connections to load multiple images simultaneously. When this option is set, Accent will use up to five network connections to load multiple images. To choose this option:

  1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
  2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Miscellaneous.
  3. Select Multiple Images.
  4. Click OK to close Preferences.

Displaying Images Faster

To display images faster:

  1. From the Options menu, select General Preferences.
  2. From the list box at the bottom of the Preferences box, select Display.
  3. Select Reformat Once After All Images; Accent will load all images before reformatting the document. Although you will have to wait until all images are loaded to see any images, the total image loading time will be reduced.
  4. Click OK to close Preferences.
