Make quicken work better

spalt

Whenever I do a long running action in Quicken — download transactions, accept transactions, etc — Quicken completely HOSES my computer. Quicken becomes unresponsive, Chrome becomes unresponsive, can't start apps, can't kill apps, I can see PerfWatson.exe spin up, which usually means Windows is detecting a process that’s hanging the message loop or pegging a single CPU core. It feels like Quicken is locking something at a system level (maybe heavy disk I/O on the data file or a thread deadlock) and Windows just gets dragged along for the ride.

It's been behaving this way for 10+ years across multiple different computers, so I am pretty sure it won't be fixed any time soon. Today I downloaded and accepted 100+ transactions and I basically had to just get up and do something else for an hour.

Please fix, thx.
