A performance issue

Postby Lans86 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:14 pm

Hello. First of all I want to say that I was using the Holdem Manager 1 for like 2 years. Now, when they build a 2nd version I totally disappointed. It eats all of my CPU usage as well as RAM. It's incredibly bugy and slow. The only thing I liked in it is the amazing amount of stats.

So, here I am. I decided to take a look at your software. At first glance it looked very fast and stable to me. Also you guys were very fast implementing Zoom support. Thats cool, really. After such a cool introduction I was ready to preorder/buy whatever version to be able using the PT4 one.

After Holdem Manager I was really surprised that some of the stats are totally different or does not exist at all. As a software developer in the past I was also glad to see that I can set up my own stats. So I did it. I've already got like 30 or so of my own, which I could not find in a "default list" of PT4. But the problem is that I suddenly noticed - all of my stats are slow off the work of PT4. I might be doing something wrong, I just don't know.. but could you please take a look at the things I did?

Here is one of the pop-ups I'm making:

e.g.
Raise 1st stat I calculate like this for every position:
Code: Select all
(cnt_p_raise_first_in_UTG / cnt_p_open_opp_UTG ) * 100


First expression is being calculated next way:
Code: Select all
sum(if[cash_hand_player_statistics.flg_p_first_raise AND
cash_hand_player_detail.flg_p_open_opp AND
cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 6 AND
cash_hand_player_statistics.cnt_p_face_limpers = 0, 1, 0])


Second is like this:
Code: Select all
sum(if[cash_hand_player_detail.flg_p_open_opp AND
cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 6, 1, 0])


Every time I open popup it takes like 1-4 seconds to load these stats. Sometimes more sometimes less. When the stats are load its fine, I can click my HUD for pop-up and they appear immediately. My database is almost empty, so I have not much hands for every player (wanted to make things work and look cool, before doing huge import, which is gonna take whole night)
Ah yea, forgot to mention - If I open a default popup it loads instantly! Just in less than a second! (I'm talking about black-backgrounded group one).

Could you guys help me to find out please? I really wanna use the PokerTracker 4 but I just hate when something makes me nervous cuz of lags and delays.

Regards. :diamond:

Custom stats are not cached, but built-in stats are, so that is why you see a little delay for your custom stats when you first load a popup for a player.

You do not need custom stats for position - any stat can be displayed by position in the HUD, so you can do this with built-in stats. Add the stat you're interested in and then set the "position" property under Item Properties on the right.

For postflop stats you can also set an in or out of position property.
