Hello,
I have no problem if the initial loading time of a large database takes time
as long as I can then work efficiently. There is no difference to Chessbase
where the first open of the tree takes time. But with Chessbase the tree
data sometimes disappears and you have to restart to get it back.
One note to all in one databases. They contain lots of useless data, but the
advantage is that you have to maintain only this one. It is easier to define
once a filter to select the Carlsen games or GM-games and apply it to a tree
view before the resulting games are filtered by the current position. That
is why I like the idea of cascading filters per list view.

Why I wrote that Scid/Scidb is not designed for huge bases:
Opening a huge database takes a lot of time (ChessBase is lightning-fast in
opening huge databases). With huge databases the opening tree takes a lot of
time with the first moves. Of course, some users may not be disturbed by
this fact. And of course the speed depends on the disk speed, I don't have
super-fast disks. The limit of 1.5 million games is my own impression,
everybody has his own impression. At least, it is of course possible to work
with huge databases without problems (but that's no fun for me).
By the way, this (own) limitation of 1.5 million games is not a real
limitation for me, all my databases are in general smaller.

Scidb has currently only one developer.
