Since I had gotten somewhat different information from Metastock
support, I decided to run two system Tests: only differing by whether
"Quick Test" was selected or not. (My test contained 672 combinations,
using 3.7 years of data) Before each test, I replaced ST_Data.mdb with
a "master" I have, so the starting point was identical for each test.
The results were interesting. The run with Quick Test took 6:32 to
run. Without Quick Test, it took 12:32; almost twice the time. So your
observation was correct here.
But the size of the resulting ST_Data.mdb file was essentially
identical in each case, as Metastock support said. (Actually the file
without Quick Test was 1% smaller.)
So in summary, Quick Test is quicker, but has no effect on the final
file size (and therefore, I presume, on the MaxLocksperFile problem).
