The speed at which PR-Tracker operates depends on how fast your computer runs and how fast your network is. Also this demonstration database only has 20 problems in it. That means the size of this demonstration database is very small compared to the size of the PR-Tracker program and that most of the startup time is used to load the PR-Tracker program. The time required to load the database is negligible by comparison.
To help you evaluate the efficiency of PR-Tracker, we have provided a project consisting of 500 problems. You can download this project database from our technical support webpage.

After you have downloaded the database, replace the DEMO2 project database files with the ones downloaded. Then checkout how fast PR-Tracker will run on your system. We know you will be happy with what you find.
When you look at the DEMO2 project files, you will notice a lot of .PR files. This is because this is because PR-Tracker uses redundant data storage. Redundant data storage makes PR-Tracker much faster. If you are worried that this will use too much diskspace, keep in mind that the cost of hard disk space is less that 20 cents per megabyte. This is a small price to pay for the added speed.
Redundant data storage in .PR files also means that you will never loose your data because of database corruption. In the event that the database becomes corrupted due to an untimely power outage or crash, the Database Repair Utility that comes with PR-Tracker can always rebuild the .MDB database from the .PR files.
