Hi there! I understand how frustrating it can be when your cards take so long to flip, especially when you’re trying to study efficiently with the AnKing deck.

Based on your description, you’re experiencing a significant delay (15+ seconds) specifically with the AnKing deck, while other decks work fine. Since you’ve already tried many troubleshooting steps including downgrading Anki, switching video drivers, using different versions of Anki, and disabling add-ons, we need to look at some other potential causes.

Here are some things to try:

1. Check your database

Run Tools > Check Database to ensure your collection doesn’t have any issues. This is a basic maintenance step that can sometimes resolve performance problems.

2. Look for large fields with complex content

The AnKing deck contains many cards with images, complex HTML, and rich formatting. Try:

  • Browse your collection and look at a few of the slow cards
  • See if they contain large images or complex formatting in specific fields
  • Try temporarily hiding some fields (especially image-heavy ones) to see if performance improves

3. Consider card template complexity

The AnKing deck uses more complex card templates than simpler language decks. You could:

  • Try simplifying the card template temporarily (remove some conditional formatting or JavaScript)
  • See if performance changes with different note types within the AnKing deck

4. Check your memory usage

The AnKing deck is resource-intensive. When studying:

  • Check if your computer’s RAM is being heavily used
  • Close other applications to free up resources
  • Restart Anki and try studying with only Anki open

5. Try a clean profile

Create a new Anki profile with just the AnKing deck to see if the issue persists without any of your customizations or other decks.

If you continue to experience issues, it might be helpful to share more specific details about:

  • Which specific cards are slowest
  • How much RAM your computer has
  • Whether the delay is consistent or varies between cards
