My old computer is an HP laptop with normal Hard Drive. I think it only has 8 gb of memory. The new computers is an SSD and 16 gb of memory. It is very fast loading. I did not do a lot of research on my old computer as I knew I was getting a computer just for BruControl and nothing else. I do know that deleting the .Database files made it load quickly, but after some use, it would be a very long load if I started it again. Restricting Data and the read times would be a great help. I only want to track mash (maybe every minute) and fermentation ( maybe ever hour (or even every two hours) I use lots of global but most 99% I do not want to track. I do have some global that I keep to know the information on a brew, such as 1st RUN TRANSFER Time, but I log manually that in a spreadsheet after the brew. It does not need to be recorded in the database. In fact, it is useless data as it is zero then the time it took. Recording it does nothing for me. I keep heating times, start temperatures, Nd other data points, but they are mostly 1 time data and do not change . I record the start temp, the volume, and the time to the target. I do not care to keep the rise ( and it is again zero until I calculte and fill the global.
