By The Time My PokerTracker Imports The Hands...

If you are at Party, make sure that you click the "Move processed files" button in the auto-import screen. If you do not do that, then there will be hundreds of files being imported at a time. When you do do this, there will only be a few files being imported at a time, and it should take no more than a few seconds.

I am assuming this is true for Empire as well. I made sure to do that when I first set it up, but now I realized something. I have since moved my "Processed HHs" folder. I wonder if that is not allowing the processed files to be moved and thus PT is re-importing them everytime I set it up.

I'll look into that and get back...

Hm. Nevermind, the folder was set up fine. I should have the box next to "Move processed files to the following folder when I close this window" checked, right?

If this doesn't fix the issue, how many hands do you have in your database and are you "auto rating" players? Also, what are the specs on your computer? We'll get this figured out. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm a spaz today. I just found this in the PT help files that may help as well:

DO NOT - use a folder that is in the same path where Party Poker is writing the hand history files to. For instance, DO NOT use a folder name called c:\partypoker\handhistory\processed files because this will just cause these files to be read the next time you use the auto-import.

Please note: if you use this feature and you close the auto-import window before closing the tables that are being logged, PT will copy the files over but it will not be able to remove the files from the hand history folder because the files are locked as long as the tables are open.

I'm totally just post-whoring now. You may also want to check whether you are auto-rating yourself as per:

The auto-import is taking longer and longer to run...

This I remember reading and made sure I didn't do this. In fact, my Processed folder is on my desktop.

As far as autorating players goes... good question. I think I am autorating players, though I have no idea how to actually view the autorate icons. I recently imported some autorate criteria from the SSNL forum for my 6max NL game. Not sure if it even worked. It seemed to process the data, but I never sawe any icons when my Gametime+ was running.

Could the autorate be causing the slowdown?

Thanks for your perseverence with this issue, BTW. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Any luck yet? Sounds more and more like you're auto-rating yourself and your large number of hands are causing your performance issue. You can set yourself to not be autorated from the Ring Game Player Statistics window. Or alternatively you could just turn off auto rating from the Auto Import by unchecking it.
