I only load manga list for selected site. But you are right, the program has not been optimized much. I will think about it, thanks for your suggestions. I do not all the data at once.

Another option would be to utilize a standard database format which software like Borland Delphi and Visual Studio (even the FREE Express Edition) support 'out of the box' this would give you the oppurtunity to 'offload' some of the data processing to an outside .dll possibly, again likely providing a significant improvement in performance. As I've said the size of the databases for the manga lists doesn't explain how supremely slow this software is when I've seen much better performance from software that access databases which are many times larger than the ones which contain the data for the manga lists. Maybe you need to rethink the way you are either storing the data or possibly rethink the way you are loading/accessing it.

Make sure that you place the datafile in the 'Data' subdirectory overwriting the corrupt one.

However I'm left wondering why it's so EXTREMELY slow responding when doing something as trivial as minimizing and maximizing the window (even when there are absolutely NO downloads in progress), it takes a few seconds for the interface to become useable again when maximizing the window after having it minimized. Additionally scrolling through the list of mangas by dragging the scrollbar is so slow to respond as to be virtually useless in most cases (more often than not it overshoots the section I was trying to get to because it's slow to detect that I stopped dragging it). I have tried this program on a couple different computers all using Windows XP Professional 32 bit with Service Pack 3, and the performance has been equally poor regardless of which computer I try to run it from. All of the systems I have run it from have at least 2 gigabytes of memory installed and have at least a 2.2Ghz Pentium 4 processor (one even had a 2.8Ghz with Hyperthreading and 3 gigabytes of memory, and still it performed poorly), for as simple as this program appears to be I'm very disappointed to note that my installation of Firefox with nearly 50 Addons runs much faster than this program even when I'm running as many as 8 open tabs at the same time in Firefox. In my opinion the next release should seriously focus on improving the performance in regards to the user experience. I have to admit I do like this software.
