Importing hands may take up to weeks!!!

[Chris MintZ]

I have 5 million hands that need to be imported to hold'em manager and I split those up into 500K hand folders so I wouldn't have to leave the computer on for weeks and also I like to play poker once in a while. I was looking to vacuum or cluster the database because each time I import hands less hands per second get imported. I am not sure how to speed up the process. Thanks

Not much more we can do about it if you don't want to buy a faster hardware.

I just bought a new computer for that reason and at first it was taking in about 70 hands per second and now it is down to 10

Especially 4K read speeds have a big impact on the import speeds. Also try the other things from the "top 10 performance" thread in my signature.

I imported 1 million hands the other day and it took approx 2 hours.
Running a dual core at 2.76 ghz with 6 gigs of RAM under Windows 7 64 bit.

5 million would take a long time no matter how good your hardware.
