Hi,
first of all, my technical environment:
I use DT Pro on my MacBookPro which is equiped with a HDD that is much faster than the shipped one. And for the security, the archive is inside a sparse bundle that is encrypted.
I bought Devon Think Pro and a Fujitsu Scan Snap scanner to scan and ocr all my fully filled “Leitz Ordner”. I have scanned for about 2 or 3 month now and came up with an archive size of about 20 GB. About 11 GB of this is OCRed PDF files.
Whenever I search for some text inside DT the machine slows down and reacts with the funny ball… Sometimes I have to wait for more than 90 seconds or longer after having typed 4-5 words.
Is there a best practice to handle bigger archives or is DT not made for this approach?
Hope to hear from you,
