Logos 5.0

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Jay F Guin

Long-time readers will recall that I’m not a fan of Logos Bible Software. I much prefer BibleWorks — which is kind of a Jeep to the Logos’ Jaguar — well, the old versions of each.

Jeeps used to be famous for never breaking. No frills but they run and run and run. Jaguars were famous for being gorgeous vehicles — that were constantly in the shop for repairs. (Things have changed.)

My Logos 4.0 runs incredibly slowly. I have a quad-core computer, 2.50 Ghz, with 4 GB of RAM. And it can take 3 minutes to load. Seriously.

But I keep seeing ads to upgrade to 5.0 — and some of the features are really tempting. The question is whether the new version runs faster — as in nearly instantaneously, since I’m an impatient researcher and writer.

Has anyone had any experience with Logos 5.0? Any speed issues? Is it worth the cost of the upgrade?

    Matt,

    I sprung for the upgrade, and it is faster — but still too slow. I may have to buy a better computer. I’m thinking about it.
