[ppug] Re: speed

I thought the same thing after a recent upgrade and asked Neale about it. 
He sent a note to the effect that you need to run a system over all of the 
data to ensure the results are updated so I just ran a system that picked 
every horse in every race and let it go. Now it runs like it used to.

Cheers
John
