Recently projects where I use my largest TM have become impossibly slow. I have to wait for seconds for Studio to catch up every time I type. The problem is specific to this large TM. I have done some some manual maintenance, removing useless segments, but I feel the need to work out some more effective batch delete tasks to save time. For instance, I was wondering if I could delete all "number only" segments. I suspect that might help. I do not have the TM set up with many filters (some, but they date back ages).
I'm using 12.0.4996.3 2015 Professional. The TM is fr-FR->en-US, 315 MB.
So, since I have been woefully lazy in maintaining my TMs over the years, where should I start? Perhaps first I should ask, am I missing anything? Are there any other reasons apart from size that a TM would cause Studio to slow down dramatically? I tried removing the Autosuggest dictionary from that same TM from projects to speed them up but that hasn't made a noticeable difference. If it is size, is there a TM size that I should consider as "too big"? Or does it depend on my system's processing power?
If maintaining it to make it smaller is indeed the way to go, can anyone suggest any filters that might work well, or effective clean-up methods?
Lots of questions, because I'm just trying what makes sense and realize I might be missing something.
Thank you for any help.
