CPVF Very slow loading

[sagn]

I have large program which I;ve developed with COmpaq Visual Fortran 6.6a on Windows XP. My machine has 1GB RAM and is 2.80GHz. It makes use of f90SQL, user defined types, structures, modules, all sorts of neat stuff. (Well I think its neat anyway) There are 100's of files involved.

Anyway, I have not had any trouble until recently (even on a machine with less horse power.) But Now it takes a VERY long time to load the workspace and simple acts such as setting a break point take a long time > 15seconds!!!.
I do not know why this has started. I have tried defragging and rebooting but to no avail. At anyrate, can anyone tell me if there is some memory parameter or soemthing to set in order to speed things up?

Thanks so much

Try largesystemcache

Well.. I thought I would send a quick update on the problem.
I tried looking into system cache but nothing panned out.
Then on a lark, I created a new workspace and simply inserted the project file. That is ALL I did.

And now it is so much faster.. it loads in no time
and the rest of my problems all seem to be gone.

My question now is this,

Why would that simple thing solve the problem? Or did it not in reality.... ?

I'm not sure if CPVF is similar to Visual C++. VC++ builds up a symbol table which it uses for looking up member functions. This is in a file with suffix .ncb. Sometimes, this table gets corrupted and everything takes a long time. All you need to do in VS is to delete this table. CPVF may have something similar.
