48152.7.0-4.0.94.0.102011-04-26AnalysesSurvey Crafter Professional can take hours to calculate a medium to large size analysis table. It sometimes also stops with an out-of-memory error.Survey Crafter Professional's optimization routines were improved and the program now subdivides the work into task sets. The impact of these changes are fewer temporary variables created by its optimization routines which reduces the likelihood of the out-of-memory errors and overall faster calculation times.

When Survey Crafter Professional calculates large analysis tables it can stop with an out-of-memory error due to not being able to allocate more space in the study file.If Survey Crafter Professional stops calculating an analysis table or batch report and shows an out-of-memory error message, if you are using the latest version, have Survey Crafter Professional compact the study file and try again. Otherwise, if you are using version 4.0.9 or earlier, send your study file to technical support to have it compacted for you.
