The process for creating the web pages will be slow and it gets slower the more seasons you have. You have probably maxed out the benefit of have a good amount of ram, hard drive space and processor. What is causing the program to appear slow is that ACCESS MDB using DAO, ADO has a lot of overhead and is slow. CATOBASE is a DATA intensive program with a lot of calculations being created. Also I suspect the program is created with Visual Basic which doesn't create very fast executables compared to other programming languages.
Simply put it is a software issue and not a hardware issue after you reach a certain point. I am using a 1.7Ghz system, 1Gig 2700sdram and think that there is a way to make the program run faster, but there just isn't at this time.
Ideally if the program created more tables, was written in C++ or C#, used VMA (Virtual Arrays for holding vast amounts of data), created pages only as needed instead of at one time then the program would be fast. Re-creating all the pages at one time is very time consuming but was in the initial design of the program. To make the program faster would mean a completely rewritten program....
With that said, I simply think CATOBASE is very good and I probably would not play as many seasons if the utility were not available. I used to use the Exporter, create my own tables and reports but that was time consuming, CATOBASE does everything I wanted and more....
