Profiler slow to load
« on: 27 November 2010, 17:53 »

On initial application start-up and periodically during use the profiler takes an inordinate amount of time to complete the "looking for datfiles" process. Admittedly, I have quite a few datfiles but for the most part this seems to be cached and seems to complete quite quickly.

It was pretty slow pre 3.137 but I thought it was just due to the sheer number of datfiles present. 3.137 seems to *add* something which makes the process slower taking up to four minutes to complete the "looking for datfiles" bit.

Is it a case of - to quote Bruce Hornsby - "That's just the way it is"?

actually nothing changed for ages in the profiler. can you maybe send me your setup in a compressed form somehow?
maybe something changed on your system? a going nuts virusscanner? some self created settings files? will do some checks next week but would be great to have your config setup.

Hang in there :) I'll post tomorrow morning GMT. It's a 264Mb RAR... just uploading to a file sharing host.

thanks....downloaded the archive and only decompressed the datfile and settings folder into a new instance of cmpro 3.137....started it and it took 4 seconds(!) to load 2638 datfiles and settings files...

....will do the same with your full archive later on.....but it seems to be your system at the moment....

and now to your full archive:

cmpro64.exe (3.137): 5 seconds
cmpro.exe (3.134b): 5 seconds
cmpro_3.89a: 2 min 1 second
cmpro_3.88: 1 min 59 seconds

well, as you can see it's fast enough for the current version...I think 5 seconds to process ~2600 dats and ~2600 settings files is ok.

There is no reason to keep such old (4.5 years!) cmpro versions like 3.89a or 3.88.


by the way, testing system was a 64bit Windows 7 on a C2D 6600 cpu with 4GB...and a fast HD....nothing really up2date l33t pc...

If it can help anyone AV software seemed to be the cause. Once the CMPro folder was excluded from scans profiler loads in just a few seconds. :)

Cheers Boss.

So....if you want to have a speedy profiler, add cmpro's settings and datfile folder to the virusscanner's exclusion list....they contain only text/xml files anyway....

I know this thread is old, but I'm having the same problem.

  • It happens at the first opening AND after a looong time clrmamepro remained closed
  • It opens instantly after I closed it
  • I have a lot less DATs than TC (I'd attached the htm report.)
  • I added the complete clrmamepro folder to avast IS exclusion list (I always used the EXE to install it and to update it)

Maybe a fragmented disk C is causing this? (I'm just guessing)

Turn off virusscanners completly (for a test) and be sure you didn't use 3rd party tools to mass-create cmpro profiles...
Last time I've checked it it loaded something >3000 profiles within seconds...
all I can say for now...
