Subject: Excessive time to create a Journal Report
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 14:43:02 -0500


I started creating an ancestor Journal report last nite about midnite. It's
now 14 hours later and the report still hasn't finished.

To cover the obvious, I'm running a 1.5 Ghz Athalon, 512 MB of memory and
have over 50 GB of free disk space. There have been no other programs or
processes running for the majority of that 14 hours and the TMG application
has been using 95% plus of the CPU. The dataset the report is using
contains about 27,000 people but this report involves only about 4000 of
those. It is long, about 90 generations, but the last 40 or so generations
only have about 3 dozen people in each generation. The report is being
output to Word and is still in the 'calculating' phase. When I brought up
my email this morning the window stopped updating (which is normal) but at
that time it had done 50 generations (that took almost 7 1/2 hours) and was
showing 230,000 somethings and 310,000 total people. That's over 10 times
the size of the dataset it's drawing from. Something doesn't seem right.

Every hour or so I get a flurry of disk activity and the CPU usage drops to
near zero for a few seconds and then climbs back up to 95% plus.

What's going on??? Why the excessive time? Why so many people?
Why...?????
