Housekeeping takes an extreme long Time

[evilpiet]

5 days ago i wanted to transfer my HEM database( about 4mio hands) from my desktop to my PT3 on my laptop.
i saved a text file with all the files from HEM and copied that file to my laptop.
i manually imported them into PT3 ( took over 24 hours), and now it is housekeeping since over 60 hours !!( yes no type- mistake over 60 hours !! )
and it has only housekeeped approximately half of the data.
i have no other programm running on the laptop, just PT3 for 3 days now.
in the last30 hours the bar rised maybe 7- 8%.
What can i do to make it faster ?
when i end it what problems will occur when i satrt to play ?
which hands get housekeeped at first the oldest or the newest HH ?

There is nothing you can do at this point to speed it up, and if you end the process, all of the progress made in the previous couple of days will be lost - housekeeping cannot be stopped midway. Having no cache with a database that size on a machine taking this long, the HUD would not be usable.

The good news though is that the longest portion of the housekeeping tends to be in the beginning, so you should find that the last few percent do go faster than the first few by a good margin.

For what it's worth, this will no longer be an issue in PT4.
