What can reduce the speed and performance of the Palm Reader?
We’ve had a few reports of Palm Reader being slow on some machines. In those cases, the slowness was due to the presence of certain HackMaster software. The most common of these was “TealEcho” which, like a lot of similar software, is always running in the background and can seriously degrade the performance of the entire machine. Removing this should dramatically speed up Palm Reader. The latest version of the Reader may experience difficulty with memory allocation in some circumstances, usually on older hardware. One workaround is to perform a reset in order to defragment the dynamic memory heap. Another is to disable any hacks that may be using dynamic memory. Note that this dynamic memory is not the same as that used to store applications, books and other data, so you may have a lot of “free memory” showing in the Launcher but still encounter memory problems when trying to run the Reader.
