I have a pretty large Archive with 1700 SMS in it.
This makes MPE start considerably slower, makes moving items to the Archive last much longer and has now made MPE use 60% of the ressources of my machine thus rendering bith MPE and my machine quite slow
The OS is XP SP 2 and the machine is a P-III 750 with 768 MB RAM.
The problem is solved if I rename the SMS.dat to "SMS.dat.Archive 01" and have MPE generate a new, empty file.
I don't mind the problem as I am moving my SMS to a different storage anyway, but am telling you just to let you know.
