What can cause slow "Loading Data..."?

[Zapzap]

Is 16 minutes normal for a single instrument (TF) workspace (this is my only workspace, with 10 different timeframe chart) to load up upon connecting?
I connect at market open time every day and stay on until close, so my historical data is up to date.
There are several minute periods, when nothing happens: no "Loading Data..." window, nothing... It used to be a lotlot faster, I could load 3 instrument workspaces quicker like some months ago. What the cause can be?

I am in Europe, with a high end machine, 4M/1M cable net.
Zen-fire connection, Proactive via Dorman broker.

Hello Zapzap,

Thank you for your post.

What does your workspace consist of? (How many charts, of what type for example.)

My windows:
T&S
Book
3 of pcs minute based charts
7 pcs of tick based charts mainly with some basic indicators.

Only the loading of the data is slow. I mean the loading itself is fast, the "Loading Data..." windows are up only for some secs, but it takes _minutes_, until they show up. And then again nothing for minutes, another quick load. This is how it goes for around 10 minutes.

Well, it seems these waitings disappeared after a DB repair...

Can these be correlated? What exactly this DB repair does?

Btw. RJStein: thanks for the quick answer!!

Great to hear that worked.

The db repair is actually a windows db repair process, so unfortunately I do not have an exact answer. It will state, "compacting" or "verifying exectutions" as it runs through the process.
