Hi,

Are you using local filebased TMs or are your TMs stored on another drive perhaps?  That would be the first place I'd look... otherwise it may be related to your AntiVirus.  It's worth checking these KB articles:

Troubleshooting slow performance in SDL Trados Studio 2011 and SDL MultiTerm 2011

Troubleshooting slow performance in SDL Trados Studio and MultiTerm

SDL Trados Studio 2011 shows slow performance when running a Linux-based NAS file system.

There may be more in the knowledge-base but this may help to point you in the right direction to begin with.

Paul

Thanks Paul

I am looking at the anti-virus thing. I saw this on Translation Zone as well.

System working a bit quicker now

Make also sure, your hard disk system is up to date. Defragment the HDD where your files are stored. Never store files and TMS on an USB stick, the interface is far to slow.

If you have files on the network and use a laptop, place at least TMs and TBs on a local HDD in laptop, as if you WiFi is only standard "g", the connection is too slow for good working.

Thanks for that.

Useful help.

My problem seems to be with ttx files, which take forever to process. Word files are OK.

If I have understood correctly, it is linked to my anti-virus software AVG.

Hi,

Possibly but there is also another thing you can do to improve the speed in which TTX files can be handled.  Some TTX files, depending on the underlying source file content, can be quite heavy on document structure information.  So if you uncheck the generation of this information the speed can dramatically increase:

Thanks Paul. That worked a treat!
