Hardware requirement for 8-table

[OrcaDK]

Well, you could start by increasing the interval to three minutes, that'd most likely help. Other than that you could consider getting a new faster hard drive (which one do you have now?).

Three minutes is my sweet spot for PT imports, no matter how many tables I'm playing up to 12. P4-2.4, some 5400 HDD (didn't want the noise/heat of a 7200) and 512MB RAM. 1 minute only lags me with many sessions (dead HH files), many tables and a LONG uptime.

edit: postgreSQL, it probably matters, I dunno.

I tried two minutes interval last night and the improvement was significant. Thanks a lot guys.
