Gary,
I had my TS do same thing to me with 27K symbols
collecting in real time. Could not move a cursor, was
so slow. I thought of everything from
adding more memory to upgrading to a faster processor,
tweaking windows, TS options, etc.
In the end I just reinstalled TS and copied the "old"
Server, TS, Universe directories ( per Omega ).
233, 32megs, lot of workspaces opened, the thing flies.
Val.
