edit: if it is set to asst gm to control that task and nothing is happening: if oyu have "prevent ai from making roster changes" check box ticked in team settings (visible in commissioner mode only), then i believe that setting trumps other settings. e.g. i turned sign MiL free agents on and my minor leagues do not automatically sign MiL FA to fill roster because i keep that checkbox named above activated.

if it is nearing the end of a trade deadline or something, maybe it should slow down.

point of reference on a HDD: if i turn off asthetic stuff i think 1 year takes ~4mins. with voting and other stuff turned back on, i think it takes 5-6mins for an entire year. this is mlb only, not a full world of leagues.

so, 15-20s sounds really bad for 1 day, unless you have a dinosaur for a computer and you have every single world league active and all sorts of 'extras' like voting ASG/HoF/baseball cards generated etc.

RAM will not be a problem unless you are running out of it. extra ram does nothing for speed. i don't believe this program will allocate more than 1-1.5gb of ram. task manager will tell you if it's running out of space and swapping data constantly... if not, this is not the bottleneck for you.

you can load task manager then click performance. on that screen, click view, then enable "Show Kernal Times" -- it will be represented in the cpu% bar as an orange-ish overlay. if it's going bat-sh^t crazy, you cpu is the bottleneck.

reducing background programs and service may help - if they are resource hogs or you have 20 3rd party BS loading with windows. turning off a few minor windows service won't do much. turn off any "real-time" software like Antivirus software... it's just a placebo effect, anyway. (do not turn off firewall!)

'17 has multiprocessor support form what i read. you can try assigning the process affinity to a core and see if that fixes it? right click it in taskmanager.


if it is a hdd, defrag that ootp saved directory, or just do the whole hdd. (some programs can target a directory, which will save you time)

(****do not defrag an SSD, it will hurt your drive over its lifetime, rather than help anything at all. no moving parts = no need to degrag. it actually hurts it because it will cause uneven use - some storage areas of the ssd will age faster than others if you defrag****)
