If some COMPASS for Pressure (or Flow) files are too big they might slow down operation. Note that this information does not apply to COMPASS for molbox software.
Check these files and rename them if they are more than 5 MB or so?

If it's too big, you can first try to clean it by opening the maintenance tool at this menu path; [Database], <COMPASS Database Maintenance Tool>, then clicking on the broom icon "Clean up fragmented items in the database"
If the file is still quite large you can send it to Pressure or Flow technical support and we might be able to further clean it.
