Hi Ron and Tom,
I'm running approx the same setup as Tom, although the OS is WIN 7. I've
done testing with 14K QSO logs, SCP, 6K callsign prefill files and SO2R
and had no bog-down, that includes while the PC was running NA3P at its
highest resolution (spectrum analyzer - a big CPU user).
Bog-downs seem to happen either from low memory as Tom suggests, or
things running in the background - which can hog CPU and/or memory. I
have all the auto-update stuff on the PC turned OFF.
The logging computer here only logs and supports the rigs. It never
goes on the internet or does other functions. I transfer update files
to it over a local network. Never, ever, running a browser on a PC can
do wonders for performance...
73,
Hal N4GG

Hi Ron
I am running a Lenovo X200, 2.4 GHz, 3GB, laptop running XP. I had a
comparable number of QSO's and did not notice any material slowdown. The
CPU was also acting as a DVK and running custom wattmeter and station
control software using 8 com ports.
If it is the machine, I suspect it will be more about the memory than the
CPU speed.
FWIW, I do see Writelog slow down occasionally. Usually if you stop and
restart Writelog a bunch of times, it seems to slow down. This is
especially true after it crashes. A CPU restart generally restores it to
normal. Also, if it is having network trouble, the performance will lag.

Subject: [WriteLog] Super Check Partial Slowing Down for big Logs
At our recent PZ5W operation we noticed the Super check partial window
slowing down as the log got larger and larger. It was quite noticeable at
8,000 QSOs, and almost unusable at 10,000 QSOs. When we logged more than
10,000 QSOs, the report had already been transmitted before the window
populated. Nothing else slowed down, just the Super check partial window.
Is there any way to speed up the super check partial function? We were
using a Lenovo Laptop with a quad core i5-4210U 1.70 GHz CPU. Should have
been enough horsepower. Is there any way to dedicate one of the processors
to the super check partial function?
