Restarting software speeds it up

I've noticed that if I have 1 project running when I come back to it the following morning, it might say there are 5 hours remaining and the speed is quite slow.

If I stop and close the software, then load it back up and start the project again, it's much faster and overall takes much less time to complete.

I have to do this every day as otherwise, the software keeps slowing down.

Any thoughts on why this happens, and anything that can be tweaked to stop this happening?

There's plenty of RAM on the system (10GB), so it can't be that.

    If you run 2 project, you software will sent and scrape slow. Because the software have many things in inside

    Not sure you read my post properly.

    "I've noticed that if I have 1 project running..."

    @Sven I have the same problem after a few hours the software is running more and more slowly.
    When I stop it there seem to be many threads that got stuck. The number of blocked threads is proportional to the time it has been used. It is inconceivable to let it run for a week for example, and it is mandatory to restart it every day.
    I think that the thread is not stopped after the timeout, something which must happen when a proxy is defective.
    It really needs to be fixed, I would like to let it run for 1 month without this happening.

    Yes but it is not a solution ^^, it is necessary to help to locate the concern  :)

    I had connection problems on the GSA site and could not send a bug report but it is resolved so I do it as soon as possible.

    Still doing it @Sven

    195 threads shown as running even though nothing was running as projects were stopped

    Started a new run of 500000 URLs (250 threads under options)
    Estimated time - 25 hours

    Stop - close software - restart
    Start the run again of 500000 URLs (250 threads under options)
    Estimated time - now 8 hours

    And the software looks to be running faster

    It seems clear to me that the software is doing something such as locking threads even when projects have finished.

    It's doing something to make it that I have to stop - close software - restart after every 12 hours or so.

    I've sent 3-4 bug reports over the last few days both prior and after the problem.

    will check once im back in office (check sticky thread)
  • steviestevie UK
    Sticky threads normally stay at the top, but I don't see it.

    I started a checking project last night - so around 15 hours ago and it said it would be completed in 7 hours. I've just checked now and it's saying 8 hours. It just gets slower and slower every hour the software is running.

    with sticky i meant the one about me being offline for a week
    again i will check once back in office.
