Post From: Slow Compression

Hi, I am trying to compress all my old intraday files to 1 sec bars using Data File Management and it is proving unworkably slow. The first file to be compressed is $DOWI.scid which looks like it is already in 1 sec bars, it is 700MB and the .tempcompressed file is being produced at a rate of about 5KB/min, so yeah that would take 97 days! (Actually the first 200KB creates quickly and then it crawls) In the past I have done such compressions in a reasonable timeframe. I tried moving $DOWI.scid out of the the Data folder so the compression would start with the next file $INX.scid, but it was just as slow so doesn't look it is a file problem. I just upgraded to v1919 and am running 64-bit. I checked the Windows Task Manager and the SierraChart process is not using much memory and overall my computer has spare capacity.
