I am playing around with HM2 and notecaddy in order to get speed improvements since a long time and even shared my findings here.

One mayor issue was the lagg starting 1 or 2 hours into a cashgame session. Even an i7-5820k at 4.5 GHz and an Intel 750 SSD, or putting the DB on a RAM-disc like others tried before, could not resolve this issue. The lagg is so bad that the tables/HUD freeze and it sometimes even results in timing out at the tables. It occured on 3 different computers with i7/SSD/16GB RAM ect. , HM2 RAM-cap removed and DB tuning following alan jaksons guide.
It began when i started using nc with many stats. But i am not processing notes during play. The lagg really correlates with the RAM-usage as you can see in this screenshot.

I finally found out that the single thread performance is the only variable to influence this and that the HUD cache purging once a minute (!?) causes the lag. An Intel 750 PCIe 3.0 SSD or a RAM-disc did not change it at all.
Each time the memory usage of HM2 drops the lagg occurs and the poker tables/HUD freezes. There must be some heavy single threaded calculation during this reduction of used RAM.

sreticentv stated me he does not know your algorithm for cache purging so i ask you if there is any way to let HM2 keep more data in the HUD cache before doing the purging? There is plenty of free RAM in my computer during play. I would even buy 128 GB RAM if it resolves the freezes.
Please don't post the performance guides as i am using them all.
