 | hi!
I have the following problem:
i have the option 'Visited addresses' set to 10000 instead of the
default 500, so i have a HUGE history (globals.dat ~ 1.2 MB).
i _don't want_ to shrink my history, BUT:
when i start opera, it loads itself in 30 sec because of the large
globals.dat (i played with the -personaldir command line option and
it showed that the problem is THAT file, it loads in 3 sec with an empty
globals.dat)
"strace" also shows, that the start is so slow because of the
globals.dat parsing inside opera.
so, my question/wish is:
is there a way to speed up the parsing? opera is amazing, but i hate to
wait 30 seconds by every start of it :(
thanx
Oliver

I would guess the solution would be to use a database instead of a flat
file. Hey, how about putting every data store that can grow to a
significant size in a database?

Workaround: keep Opera open all the time.

Suggestion: maybe opera should fix this bug?

I'm all in favor of applications that open and close swiftly.
Opera could be improved in this regard, the mentioned slowdown surely
is an inconvenience for some people.
