Now that I've been using OmniFocus and built a larger database it is becoming painfully slow. I've seen a post that the number of visible items slows OmniFocus down. Has anyone found a way to speed up OmniFocus -- increasing memory or ???

you can't increase memory. not possible under os x. only photoshop is able to allocate a specific amount of memory steadyly. guess compress the database for removing old deleted entries would be a first step imho. but aside the ui needs some optimization to speed things up.
i am also suffering the same effects from time to time. especially when many apps are running and not much physical ram is left (on a pb 1,67 ghz with 1,5 gig ram)

The OS will automatically allocate more memory to an app as it needs it (Unix variants, like OS X, are very good at this). In fact, the OS will allocate as much memory as an app asks for. When you run out of physical RAM, though, the OS starts swapping RAM contents to disk, which slows things down. Quote:
I think the first thing wpitman should do is exactly as Kosjer D suggested: rebuild the database. Go to the menu bar and select File->Rebuild Database. This will condense all transactions down to a single XML file, which should speed things up. Beyond that, I'm not sure there's much you can do except hide items that you don't need to constantly look at. Last edited by Toadling; 2008-02-29 at 06:30 AM..
