Performance Information
This new Price Guide is using a new processor and memory intensive routine
to generate accurate prices for the catalog. As a result, systems running Windows 3.1
and Windows 3.11 may experience a performance slump during creation of the catalog if
swap files or cache sizes are not sufficient. Before creating catalog, make sure that
all applications running in the background are shut down first.
For Windows 3.1, set the swap files to the maximum recommended size.
For Windows 3.11 (Windows for WorkGroups) set caches size from one to four megabytes
greater than what is currently set if your system is taking much longer than the
benchmark (See below for benchmark).
Bench marks for a system running a Pentium 133mhz with 32 megabytes of RAM should
create a catalog in about 7-15 minutes. A 486 system may require three times
as long depending on the amount of memory.
