The requirements are dependent on how the system is being used and the other applications running on the computer. The computer might be able to run NetSuite but is not powerful enough to run NetSuite with your VOIP application or is powerful enough to run your VOIP application and NetSuite but not creating a sales order that contains 200 line items.	Check the task manager. Under the performance tab check how much of RAM/CPU is being used. To check the application that is using the most client machine resources: · click on the processes tab · Click on memory usage to sort the processes based on memory usage.	· Try to close all the unneeded applications. · If some of these applications are required to be open, consider increasing computer resources. · Always check the health of the client machine by checking for spyware that could be using resources.
Browser related problems: · Some problems may appear in one browser and not in another. For example if you load sales orders on IE7, page will be slower than on FireFox. Some of the reasons for this are browser configuration, security defenders, and individual browsers add-ons.	· Test on different browsers.

For example additional sourcing on page load etc	· How many custom formula fields are on the form? · Test with a standard NetSuite form · Check to see if there is a custom script that is causing the slowness.	· Home> Set Preferences > General > Optimizing NetSuite: Check that check box · Check custom fields to see which one is causing the delay. · Check any custom scripts · If the problem is happening for one department only, are the forms they are using are different? What is different and could be causing the problem It is highly recommend to contact the NetSuite Administrator or the person who preformed the customization to be able to identify the reason why the code is resource intensive.
