Ideas on how to speed up the SDL Studio 2015 'Analyze Files' batch task?

Question

The 'analyse files' batch task can take some considerable time to run for large files across multiple languages? I am looking for ideas on how to potentially speed up this task so I wondered if anyone had any ideas please? Thus far I have found that generally the server memories seem slower for analysis than file based memories & that local file based memories are faster than network file based memoires, no great surprise there really. Using fewer/smaller numbers of memories as part of any analysis also improves speed. Are there any best file/batch sizes (mbs or words) that might help ensure performance is optimised? I have tried increasing the 'batchTaskThreadCount' setting inside SDLTradosStudio.exe.config. Its default is 3, I have increased it but seen not change in performance thus far. I have a good spec machine so would prefer not to go down the new hardware route. Any practical ideas to improve this area of Studio performance would be much appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

AFAIK you've exhausted all the possibilities.
The biggest difference I've found is switching to file-based translation memories rather than server-based as you mention.

I know you already mentioned that you don't want to go down the hardware route,
but Trados Studio translation memories are simply SQLite databases.
The biggest bottleneck you are going to have reading data is your hard disk.
Anything to boost disk read speeds, such as upgrading to an SSD can cause a huge difference if you already don't have one.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
