Dear All
I have the impression that Trados slowsdown gradually when working continuously for a long time. I work with quite big project of about 200 files that I cannot load at once. So, once 1 is finished, I open the following one. Anbd then, gradually, it seems that further files needs longer time to load or to pretranslate.
Is it a indows problem or a Trados problem ? And how to solve it ?

Hi Arnaud,
If you have more than one file in a project, you can open them all together in a 'virtual merge'. You highlight all the files then click 'Open for Translation' and they all open up as if they were one file and you can work on them all at once. This gives you the advantage of being able to automatically update any identical segments as you confirm each segment you translate.
There are ways that you can improve on speed... see below:
I have a group of things that I do if Studio is slow or crashes. Even if you have no speed or stability problems normally, they can happen with a big/old/complex project. Here's what works for me:
1) Go to File > Options > Editor > Automation then UNtick 'Enable LookAhead' under 'Translation Memory' and UNtick 'Enable verification of segment' under 'After Confirming Segments Manually'
Both these options should help speed things up. You can then verify the file after you've finished working on it all in one go via the Review tab > Verify or by clicking F8.
Then, in the Project Settings (or via File>Options if you create your own projects or work via Translate Single File), turn OFF upLift Match Repair:
Turning this setting off seems to help with files that for some reason cause Studio to crash. I am sure it helps with speed too.
If you want to know what any setting means under File > Options or under Project Settings, click the Help button bottom right of the settings window:
Keeping these settings turned on if you need them works fine if you have a hi-spec fast computer and an excellent broadband connection. However, in less than perfect scenarios, it can help to turn one or all of them off.
I always have them all turned off unless I need them, and Studio works well for me...
I hope this helps,
All the best,
Ali 
Thank you Alison for those explanation. I will try your tips.

Alas, dear Alison, I still experience slow down when working successively with several files. I suppose it is a cache problem or the fact that µTrados is 32bit and not 64 bit. Next version, perhaps ?...
Thanks anyway.
