I have too seen significant slowdowns in version 5.026 compared to Version 4. It seems to get worse as the day goes on and gets better if I reboot the main computer.
I am using a Windows XP peer to peer network, all hard wired ethernet 100MB/s.
Of note the internet / internet explorer does not slow down so it appears it is something related to the new program.
My hardware is admittedly old, but it ran version 4 just fine and I have been waiting to upgrade
1) in case the stimulus package required actual receipts on hardware purchases within a certain timeframe (now we know it doesn't matter how you spend the $, just than you have an acceptable EMR with meaningful use).
and
2) Until Windows 7 was available and stable (I skipped Vista)
I have tested the time to connect to databases from main computer (1-2 seconds) and from other computers on the network and it is 1-2 seconds too.
My main computer is a Pentium 2Ghz single core, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP professional Service pack 3. I plan on moving the database to a Dual Core 1.8 GHZ 3 GB RAM machine this weekend and see if that helps, however I wonder whether there is some bug in Version 5 as like I said it starts out fast and then is slow after a few hours.
Oh, and I only have about 30 messages in my inbox.
