AW: How do you handle the poor performance of LC 7?

[Mike Bonner]

@tBodine
If it were me, I'd also try to evaluate time as a factor.  Does the crash
chance increase based on how long lc or the system itself has been
running?  Is there a chance that there is an external drive involved in the
problem, like a usb drive that spins down into power save mode (or
depending on your power settings, an internal drive can spin down too but
far less likely if you're actively working)
Having to wait for a drive to spin up shouldn't have a crash affect, but
shouldn't and can't are two different things.
I also ask about time as a factor because if you haven't hit a menu for a
while, the resources might need to be popped back  into memory (again
possibly linked to a sleeping drive?)

When a hard crash occurs, do you kill whatever processes might be hung,
then immediately restart lc? Or do you restart the whole machine? I'd
recommend a total machine restart at least once then see if stability will
increase for a while.

One of the first things I do when having strange behaviors is remove usb
drives from the loop, or before I do something that might cause the drive
to be ramped up, I go to explorer and hit the drive so i'm sure its
accessible, then go back and do whatever thing it was that has been causing
crashes. (I've had some issues with plex crashing if my external drive
doesn't respond with alacrity)
