Umm...not all of us have the money to upgrade our computers :P
What problems do you have? Is it at start-up? Is it when trying to access the db? Is it when inserting/updating items in the db? Maybe your code could perhaps be optimized a bit? If it's not too long, post it here so we can see if there's anything we can do to help you.

Also, the database does not use a database engine that is really that powerful or fast. Zugg did not want to have to include all of the extra dll's needed for this so he just use the tools available to him in Delphi. It is not that devoloped and optimized so the datbase in zMUD will never be as fast as what you might see in something like Access.

Yep, as Kjata said, the database module in zMUD was never intended as a "real" database with fast searching, etc. It works fine for limited eq database and stuff like that, but there is no index, so searching is the slow "start at the beginning and check each record" method. I doubt this will change since adding a "real" database would increase the zMUD download size by a couple of megabytes. I'd love to use something like ADO for the database engine, but many people are running older versions of Windows without ADO, so it makes support a nightmare.
My suggestion if you want to use a fast database is to put your database into a commercial DB tool like MS Access, then use the COM interface commands in zMUD to access the database.
