thac,

I just finished importing and it looks like all my hands have finished importing. However, now when I try to add additional hands the import is super slow. My .RTM file is at 25MBs.

My .rtm file is 30+mb too.

Import speeds went from 50 h/s to around 10h/s.

Hold'em Manager imports at 50 h/s and PT does 10h/s for reference.

Wow that's surprisingly bad [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I don't have that many hands and if you feel like sending me a bunch, I'll take a look.

One thing you shouldn't do is split the hands into chunks. Realtime will slow down if it is importing hands out of order. It maintains an ordered list of hand numbers in order to check whether the hand has been imported. If a hand isn't in the list it wil insert it. If you are ptting it on the end of the list (because it is the highest hand number to date) there isn't a problem. However, if you are putting it in the middle first it has to look for the number to see if it is in the list (not too bad) and also it has to move up all the higher hand numbers numbers to make room - and if you have around 1m hand numbers to move every time you import a hand, well, it's gonna chug.

When you do a "Rebuild archive", the files are scanned for the first hand number in the file and sorted so the hands are imported in order. However, if you import in chunks you will probably be imorting hands out of order and that's bad.
