Thanks for bringing this to my attention. With the new version the whole environment changed and while I cannot comment on exactly what is going on here I will certainly look into it.

We have your latest version of IDlookup and overall its very good. However I’m wondering if you can comment a bit on its performance/speed.

Recently I used it to duplicate check an excel file of 15,000 records. I mapped First Name, Last Name, Zip, and Addresslines. In the criteria i specified to use all characters of each field. While it was processing the file, i noted various times and the record it was processing. I then used that info to calculate the speed it was processing at (below)

TIME Records Ave Records Per Min
9:12 0(start) 0
10:05 5470 103.2075472
10:18 6450 75.38461538
10:44 8275 70.19230769
11:03 9454 62.05263158

As you can see, the longer/more records idlookup processes, the slower it gets.

Even with what I consider a fast computer with a lot of ram, i still cannot duplicate check more than ~10k-15k due to this slow down.

Can you give any suggestions on how to speed up this process?
