Yes, slow is a relative term. I tried all the techniques outlined and knew they wouldn't work ahead of time. Mostly Quicken staff telling us we have slow computers. I have a speed demon of a computer and it ran super super slow. Entering a transaction ( simplest thing I can think of ) would take at least 7 seconds to process if not longer. I found the solution, at least for me. Seeing as Quicken doesn't have a repair feature, I decided to uninstall quicken and reinstall it. Bam, Quicken is fast once again. New transactions enter instantly. Wish I knew what got "fixed" with a reinstall, I guess I'll never know. Maybe there weren't progressive patches and it patched to the latest right after install? In any case, posting this to the community as I know there are a lot of topics around this and no real solutions.
