It *must* have something to do with the size of your database, together with how full the rest of your drive is. Mine is small by comparison (4000+ people), and when I do the clicks you describe, the requested action happens within a fraction of a second. And I mean a teensy-tiny fraction - it's almost instantaneous.

And yes, I have the 'latest build' plus Windows 10, 8Gb RAM, 1.8Ghz i5 processor.

One of the most noticeable aspects of this alleged slow-down is Legacy's
response to a user's mouse click. For example, while in the Family view,
clicking on the name of one of the children results in a full second delay
before anything happens. Makes one tend to click again thinking the first
click didn't work (only for us impatient people). Another is clicking on the
SAVE button on any view. Once again another full second or two before
anything happens. And then try clicking or DEATH NOTES or BIRTH NOTES. It's
the same delay causing that little voice in your brain to say, "Hey Dummy,
your mouse didn't work. Click it again."

The last update 8.0.0.544 did slow Legacy down considerably, most
frustrating!
It doesn't appear to be due to database size as I run various fdb files with
different sizes (from 1.2Gb downwards) and they are all slower than before
the update.

Henry,

I think you mean that your file is around 505 Megabytes.

Legacy is built on Access 2000, which has a limit of 2 Gigabytes.
