[WriteLog] Super Check Partial Slowing Down for big Logs

[john at kk9a.com]

While I do not make 10,000 QSOs in a contest like W2SC,  I have never
noticed a slowdown.  What is slow, after you log a QSO do you have to wait
until you can log the next one or is SCP slow to display? I save my log on
occasion during slower times and not automatically after every QSO.

Hi Ron

I am running a Lenovo X200, 2.4 GHz, 3GB, laptop running XP.  I had a
comparable number of QSO's and did not notice any material slowdown.  The
CPU was also acting as a DVK and running custom wattmeter and station
control software using 8 com ports.

If it is the machine, I suspect it will be more about the memory than the
CPU speed.

FWIW, I do see Writelog slow down occasionally.  Usually if you stop and
restart Writelog a bunch of times, it seems to slow down.  This is
especially true after it crashes.   A CPU restart generally restores it to
normal.  Also, if it is having network trouble, the performance will lag.

At our recent PZ5W operation we noticed the Super check partial window
slowing down as the log got larger and larger.  It was quite noticeable at
8,000 QSOs, and almost unusable at 10,000 QSOs.  When we logged more than
10,000 QSOs,  the report had already been transmitted before the window
populated.   Nothing else slowed down, just the Super check partial window.



Is there any way to speed up the super check partial function?   We were
using a Lenovo Laptop with a quad core i5-4210U 1.70 GHz CPU.  Should have
been enough horsepower.   Is there any way to dedicate one of the processors
to the super check partial function?
