IMHO it is just that and is v unlikely to do anything for you. In fact
archiving has all sorts of unforeseen effects concerning trends and history.

Many posters here have files > 10mb and by a lot!

Sounds like a cop-out to me, but I'm willing to waste some time archiving if
it'll speed things up... Perhaps I will give that a shot (after making a
couple extra copies of my current file of course)

Thx for the reply

I had this same problem when I converted to 05 from 04. My only lasted for
the first two minutes when I started Money. AFter that, it appeared fine. I
went back to 04. I am going to try 05 again. I would also be interested in
what it is doing. I figured it was background banking. Microsoft told me it
was due to my money file being over 10MB

Have been using Money since '99 (Converted from quicken since version 1.0),
just upgraded from 03 to 05D. MAJOR problem is that it max's my CPU (p3-800,
384mRAM, 10GBfree)to 100% for +2 minutes EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO CHANGE
SCREENS. Tried everything I can think of including stripping down all
unnecessary background processes and uninstalling/reinstalling the software.
Any ideas? Considering the issues when I converted TO money, I'd hate to go
through that again in the reverse.
