Also check to see if you an automatic back up running in the background.
That slows things down for me when it starts up on its own..

Subject: [WriteLog] SCP slowdown

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
