LC: Pokertracker too slow for SNGs?

[swiftrhett]

I have like 1200 sngs in pokertracker, and it is slow as balls, and freezing when I try to import more. I changed to postgresql, which seemed to help for a little while, but now it sucks.

I have read about people importing millions of hands, and 1200 sngs is only 63k hands. Does PT have a problem with sngs? My computer is a 64bit-Athlon 3000 with 1.5GRAM. It appears my SNG database is 460 Meg.

If those 1200 are at multiple buyins or sites, you might want to try going to the Preferences tab (or whatever the rightmost one is), and only selecting a couple of buyin levels or sites. This will reduce the load time when you access ring game statistics.

This happened to me too. I gave up and started a new DB. Really, you don't need player data across multiple buy-ins. I just separate mine by buy-in now. I was thinking also that one could pare down a DB by exporting all players with more than 3 or 4 tournaments played, then reloading them into a fresh DB, thereby getting rid of any players you don't really need.
