Some things seem marginally faster.. daily log and system settings still quite slow though.

 

[majik13]

here's a video of post update app loading

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXi44bZ1LAg

hmmm, speeds look the same in this vid, I dunno

 

[grimshawish]

3DS updated in about 2 minutes.

Wii U though... half an hour and still counting.

3DS! Mine just took 2 second, like literally, maybe it b/g downloaded

 

[BY2K]

Did the 3DS get an update too? When I got home it told me so, but the update took like 2 seconds to download and install.

 

[kinggroin]

Yeah apps definitely load a bit quicker and close a bit quicker...

I still think this is an update for the freezing and they made things slightly nippier!

EDIT:

Yeah...just tested Miiverse...it opens quicker and closes muuuuuuuch quicker.

Everything loads so much faster now. It's so much better for me. Actually so happy.

Definitely an improvement in my opinion. Hopefully more people get the same result, which seems to be the case thus far.

:-(

My app loading speeds havent changed at all. wtf? Maybe yours were just REALLY jacked?

I recorded the app loading post update in case you missed it:

Yeah. Miiverse loading is faster for me, but daily log was still very slow.

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

The update screen should have Mario smoking.

More like fixing a toilet or sink lol

 

[Fox Mulder]

Slowest download ever

 

[Medalion]

Geez are some of you guys getting the "real" update or what?

Some people say things are the same, or slower, and now people are saying things are faster?

It can't be all these things lol

 

[EloquentM]

9/10

would read again.

 

[grimshawish]

EU shop dempa men demo now available + game for £7

 

[therapist]

they REALLY need to work on their servers.

Updates are horrendously slow , even the zombiu 23 mb update took me 15 mins.

I mean wtf.

 

[brandonh83]

It can't be all these things lol

It can't be all those things. I think it just depends on the app or whatever. I would swear to Batbale that Miiverse loads faster.

 

[Drago]

I left the download 40 minutes ago and it was around 35% done. I come back and now it's almost 50% done.

Such unacceptable speeds. Ugh...

:-(

My OS got fucked up 2-3 days ago and it started taking 5-10 minutes to close anything. This latest update fixed my OS speeds back to normal.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

my HDD and Wii U are still very much in love :3

Daily Log the worst load time offender for me is still slow as hell... everything else now sure seems to work just fine

 

[BY2K]

EU shop den pa men demo now available + game for £7

I understand completely.

 

[pestul]

Miiverse is definitely faster for me. Browser possibly a bit, everything else the same. Trying HDD enclosure that didn't work before now.

 

[grimshawish]

Blocks = MBs right? Denpa men demo is like 200 but took less that 30 seconds to download. 3DS speed improved?

 

[nickcv]

ok, multitask application load a little faster and quit much much faster.

other apps speed didn't change at all.
imho of course.

 

[Nostremitus]

I just started the download, says it'll be done in 7 minutes.

 

[gryz]

It takes longer to load things into slower RAM. I don't see a patch fixing the RAM. Only way they're going to improve load times is by making the programs smaller.

i really hope this isn't a serious post

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Good news: update starting downloading automatically.

Bad news: close to a 5 hour estimate time. That is longer then the original update lol. I have a 10 Mbps connection btw.

Edit: saying close to 7 hours now. That surely can't be right.....

 

[Tathanen]

Miiverse was always fast launched from the main menu. Its only slow when a game is running at the same time. Maybe people experiencing faster speeds are just checking it without a game running.

 

[gamergirly]

Did the 3DS get an update too? When I got home it told me so, but the update took like 2 seconds to download and install.

Yeah it did. Havent really seen any difference. eShop not available

 

[Medalion]

Ultimately, I've never been a huge complainer about the OS speed except for the unusual slowness to enter, and to exit the settings menu for this system. I got used to it honestly.

However, I cannot bear these long-ass download speeds.

nope, to make sure i tried opening it even while running NSMBU

You're doing it wrong.

If you hit the Home button it takes longer to switch apps...if you back out with (b) and manually open and close apps you will notice the difference.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Yeah, feels faster for me as well, although this update is probably bug fixes.

Good enough for me, hoping TVii is next

If a 600MB patch is just bug fixes, I really don't want to know what the size of a feature patch is.

[The Elite]

Weird, I'm at 5 minutes now.

Are you sure that isn't hours. lol.

 

[Astra]

This update speed is all over the place. Goes to under an hour, up to three. Though I suppose a lot of people are downloading in concurrently, so it's to be expected. Here's hoping it does good for the OS' speed.

 

[lenovox1]

Your smartphone has much slower RAM. Your PC might have RAM that's the exact same speed. What are you talking about?

 

[kinggroin]

You're doing it wrong.

If you hit the Home button it takes longer to switch apps...if you back out with (b) and manually open and close apps you will notice the difference.

Wait... so if I'm in the browser let's say, what's the best way to launch Miiverse?

 

[RagnarokX]

Update took me about 30~40 minutes

 

[Shancake]

Is it just me or is it now a ton SLOWER for that home menu to pop up

 

[Fox Mulder]

It takes forever to download anything, then forever to install. It would be awful even if I wasn't used to xbox live.

 

[GameE]

This is taking longer for me to download then the day one update :\

Whoah mine is not near that slow. I hope you see some speed upgrades after the update. Looking forward to followup.

 

[Nostremitus]

Are you sure that isn't hours. lol.

Less than a minute now...

faux edit: And Done as I was about to post.


Total download time 8 minutes.

 

[Pineconn]

Blocks = MBs right?

A block is a megabit (Mb), so 8 blocks = 1 megabyte (MB).

 

[Macho Madness]

Not any faster.

Direct pipe to Nintendo?

 

[Fuzzy]

Time started download: 9:13pm
Time finished install: 9:57pm

Pathetic.

 

[AzaK]

Maybe Nintendo doesn't think the OS is slow?

Someone needs to ask Nintendo directly on the responsiveness of the OS

They've acknowledged ut on their support website.

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wiiu/en_na/system_console.jsp

It's under “General Info.” Doesn't really make it any better, but they know about it.

I hope they can speed it up but I fear it's slow flash RAM that's the problem.

 

[ArynCrinn]

Started my update, probably 45 mins or so. Glad to see some experience slightly increased speeds, hopefully hard locks are gone.

 

[KojiKnight]

My update is jumping around... sometimes less than 30 min left, othertimes 3 hours... but by sometime tonight I'll have precise "before" and "after" numbers... though I honestly expect we won't see any noticable changed between this patch.

This patch is obviously to fix the crashing a lot of people had (including myself). When you're designing a program, you worry about fixing things crashing first and foremost, then worry about optimizing. Trying to optimize code at the same time you're fixing it isn't usually recommended (unless you're fixing memory leaks, then it's basically a 2 for 1).
