Very slow to merge transactions

Hi, I recently installed Moneydance on a new laptop. I'm using the current stable build, and I just ran through the Toolbox's process of disabling sync, removing a very large uploadbuf file, and doing the "shrink dataset" action. I then set up a new Dropbox sync. Before doing all of that, loading MD took a very long time, and doing any activity in an account would hang for minutes at a time. Now, MD loads quickly, but when I do a merge, it still hangs for 1-2 minutes. What else should I be doing? (Should I switch to the Dropbox File sync method?) Thanks...I've attached the Toolbox output for reference.

    That's odd...Trying again.

    I notice during these hangs that the network throughput in Task Manager is fairly high, while CPU utilization is nearly 0. When I turn off Sync entirely, the hangs appear to stop happening.

    Several points.
    - the attached output was before the shrink, yes?

    • please click toolbox analyse dataset and objects and upload the latest output?

    • also grab help/show console and upload that here too

    • regardless, yes, switch to Dropbox folders and you will see an immeadiate improvement. But also send the two files above as I think you still have some data issues to resolve.

    Actually, the attached output was after the shrink. It was double that size
    beforehand.

    Attached are the toolbox output and the console output.
