Well I have been thinking I needed to upgrade my own I5 Processor to an i7 and I have a smaller Database than you at 156,332 KB. But I also have 16 GB of RAM.
I have always loved Legacy for it's response time, even when handling my database of over 225,000 persons. Maybe one of the Legacy Support personnel will have some advice for us or possibly even some additional indexing that could be added to our database, I renumber any RIN and MRIN every day as well as file check every day, and compact the database once a week. The file check will re-index the lists, which will help if you have added a lot of people since the last time you did a file check. So, probably like myself, time for a bigger processor.
