Very slow import speeds (New Computer)

[PatInTheHat]

Got a brand new poker computer but my import speeds are incredibly slow.

I imported over 10 million hands at around 200 H/sec from a folder but now i'm doing an auto import of OnGame hands and getting around 5-6h/sec.

Any ideas?

I should add the current problem is importing OnGame hands. I have HM install on my C:/ drive and i have all my Hand History files point to my E:/drive. (I am unsure at this time if other auto imports from sites will be normal or not)

I have a Hand History folder and then sub folders for Ipoker/Party/Tilt/Stars/Ongame. I targeted the auto imports for each site specificly. So for tilt it is E:/Hand History/FullTilt Hand History. I also changed the processed file to my E:/ drive and called it Holdem Manager Hand History.

I have tried unticking the subfolders for Ongame (even though there are none at this time)

EDIT: On Vista. UAC is disabled.

Appears to be an OnGame specific problem. Party imports at almost 100/s. I'll test some others as I go.

EDIT: I should also add I am importing .txt files that were mined using IdleMiner's Hand Grabber. They are not being imported via the database stuff.

EDIT2: Ipoker hands at almost 200/s

EDIT3: I decided to test the import speed on my old computer and it too is having problems importing .txt files from OnGame. I was getting around 5h/s also.

Can you email me as many hands as possible to morny@holdemmanager.net, you can use www.yousendit.com if you want

Talked to Roy and he figured it out. Using import from folder I get normal import speeds. Auto-Import checks the server for showdown hands while import from folder does not, this caused the auto-import to import large sizes of hands slowly.

Im also having VERY slow import speed on ongame hands.

I use a ramdisk and the IdleMiner Handgrabber to get the hand histories (not the normal ones that the client writes) so that I get observed hands too, but when I autoimport its at like 7hands/sec.

Which type of computer?
How many hands do you have in your database?

Is it the same with all hands or only with this grabbed hands?

pc is core2duo 2ghz laptop 2gb ram etc.. so not too old
