Oh, and I'd just like to take a minute and brag. After sitting down and optimizing, we've sped up our already fast imports significantly. I'm not going to quote numbers, but in a comparison on my computer, PT3's import was nearly twice as fast as the competition's. Faster in displaying data too. After PT3 is released, PokerTracker will not be known for it's slow imports, that's for sure!

While it's nice to have fast imports, there are other performance issues, that are way more important.

IMHO, key will be CPU usage while you play and have the HUD running.

Right now, when I have 12 Party tables open and PT2, PAHUD and a couple of AHK scripts running, my duo core system gets to its limitations and multitabling sometimes really gets a pain.

I hope your new product also improves in this category, despite the increased amount of data to handle.

I agree that Import speeds aren't the end-all. We only spent a couple days optimizing it and we're pretty happy with the results we are getting now. Performance all around is being improved. Importing while you play will not cause noticeable CPU usage. As for HUD CPU usage, I have ideas that should reduce that CPU usage significantly as well.
