Dear Anatoli,
I guess your speedy celeron was not using windows XP. This new Operating System
keeps compressed files on part of your harddrive in case of a crash-- it's
called "System Restore".
When you make changes to big files Like a database in CB8 or an opening book in
Fritz8, as you do when 'book learning' is on, it can take a long time to close
the program. One of my home-made opening books is far too large, so it takes
longer to close game than to play it.
You have several solutions.
Some will say get rid of system restore. I don't like this solution.
Updating CB8 will stop that program from using system restore to back up *.ctg
files (trees or opening books) - that helps alot.
Maybe also to turn off book learning in Fritz, and then to incorprate game
results into a tree at a later time could also speed the plow.
best to you,
marc
