Object Dock Plus very slow
Windows 7
Tuesday, July 1, 2014 by gevansmd | Discussion: OS Customization
Ever since my update to Windows 7 last fall I've noticed OD+ is very slow. It often takes 25% of the CPU and is non-responsive to the mouse. I choose to hide my docks and many times they will not reappear when the mouse is moved in their vicinity.
Even when functioning, window movement is erratic. Reopening a minimized window will open the window immediately and then re-open the same window slowly. For that reason I suspected Windows FX5. I've spent the last day configuring Fences and today shutdown OD. The system is much quicker. Window open and close instantly.
I know this isn't much to go on but can anyone suggest a reason for OD's sluggishness? O have tried uninstalling and reinstalling OD with no success.
My system is W7 Ultimate 64 bit I'm up-to-date on all my Stardock products.
I should add that I have three docks. The main launch dock on the bottom, the system tray on the right and the running app dock on the left.

No, I am not using any special docks, other than the calendar amd stacks but I don't imagine they consume any CPU when not engaged. I'll try removing them as a test.

What the version of the clock docklet?? You may remove it from the installed folders and looking for new one,or better,find another alternative.

My guess is that there's a plugin or something that's not functioning right. Are you running, for instance, the weather object?
