Hi Jon,

I've chimed in on this before. This is not to cast doubt on your slowdown - I'd love to see it fixed for you. This is just a datum point to compare to.

About six weeks ago I started using one of my larger MLO files on quite an old laptop.

It has 16 GB RAM. The processor is a 2.50 GHz Intel i7 (4710MQ) with 4 cores and 8 logical processors. So it's far from a blistering power house. I'm running Windows 10 Pro.

Currently, MLO is reporting (in Task Manager, Processes tab) that it's using 38.6 MB of RAM.

The MLO file open is 2.76 MB in size and has 12,227 tasks - pretty much identical to yours.

Everything is lightning fast for me. Instant response when I hit Insert, and text appears as fast as I can type. That's inserting into the Inbox with about 40 tasks in there. But perhaps things slow down if you're inserting into a folder/node/view with a substantial number of tasks visible?

Quite often when I've seen programs slow mysteriously, It's down to anti-virus software intervening constantly. Certainly worth eliminating that in your case by disabling it temporarily.

Hi Peeps,

Recently I seem to be suffering a lag when starting to type a new entry. Sometimes the screen does not refresh as I type - so the first few letters/words appear all at once after a second or two. Or the first word appears then there is a delay. Sometimes clicking 'new item' has a noticeable delay until the 'new task' appears.

I use one MLO database, so it is getting 'big' - 2.4MB, 12k items. (Previously I polled the forum and others reported much bigger dbs with no particular issues).

Since I am not in tech I don't know what processes occur, but it seems like MLO either has internal processes that are now taking a longer time due the size of the db?... Or is being hijacked by the vast array of Win10 and other sw processes running?? I worry that Win10 is doing stuff that I really don't need - and is nefariously 'anti' any sw that is not MS...

[All that said, this is a tiny inconvenience and needs to be placed in the context of -
a. MLO is really great!
b. My heart goes out to all affected by the war.]
