Hi,

since some weeks I often get the following error message

PSPPire doesn't answer. Close or wait.

This often happens when I change from the syntax to the output window within PSPP, or when I scroll in the syntax window. Sometimes I wait for more than a minute which reduces working speed until I get control back.  At the start of a session, everything runs smoothly, but after a while—maybe a quarter of an hour—the program starts to slow down.

The context:

European Social Survey round 11: https://ess.sikt.no/en/data-builder/?rounds=11&seriesVersion=983&tab=download

You must have a free account to download the file free of charge.

sav file with n=55,000 cases, > 700 variables

I was told that my Bitdefender AV could be the culprit for the slow speed and that excluding the TEMP directory and the PSPP.jnl file from AV scanning might help.

I did so, but don't have the impression that this helps.

I increased the work space: no effect.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks in advance
