I've just done a little experiment creating web pages from Legacy. The results might be of interest.
First I created the web pages onto D:\genealogy\Web (a regular mechanical hard disk) and copied them to C:\Legacy\Web (a solid state disk). Then I recreated exactly the same web pages and timed from clicking the "There are already web pages here do you want to delete them?" to the "Web pages successfully created" requester. So. To the HDD, when I said "Yes" to the deleting, it took 1 minute and 20 seconds to actually delete the old files and 2 minutes 15 seconds to create the new. 3 minutes 35 secs total To the SSD, it also took 1 minute 20 to actually delete the files (which surprised me) but only 2 minutes and 5 seconds to create the pages. 3 minutes 25 total. Basically, having a SSD doesn't make much difference. Most of the delete time is Windows 7 sitting on the "Preparing to delete" phase. Actual deletion takes a few seconds. When I said "No", it took 2 mins exactly to create the files while deleting the old ones on the fly, regardless of whether I used the SSD or the HDD. Less than when I said "Yes" to the delete. The conclusion is that you should only delete all the old files first if you are worried that there may be some pages for folk who are no longer in the DB. Otherwise it is just a waste of time.
