Updating route cache for first time use

[CKAJCA 2]

PFPX takes quite a long time to start with the majority of the time with the message "Updating route cache for first time use" during the initialisation process. Is this normal?

Hello Colin,

I only see the "Updating route cache for first time use" when the cache doesn't exist ie on new install.

If you add routes from another source I guess this would trigger the update also.

Should you have installed the 9000+ routes option then I guess it would take a little while to run, I have 1300 routes installed and PFPX is fully started in around 45sec.

Hi Stephen

I see that message every time I start up PFPX. Is something missing from my system or is there something I should be doing?

There is nothing specific for you to do Colin, when you close PFPX a file '~RouteCache.tmp' is generated in folder 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\Temp'

I guess that if for some reason this cannot be written too then on loading you'll see updating route cache each time.

You could try deleting ~RouteCache.tmp with PFPX closed, restart and the cache will be generated. Close once again and the tmp file should be re-created.

There are other reasons for the cache been generated but I certainly don't see this on every start.

Hi Stephen

I followed your instructions and everything happened as you suggested it would. I still have the message "Updating route cache for first time use" but it was only for 7 seconds as opposed to 1 minute 7 seconds before. That is clearly a vast improvement. I am surprised that I still get the message but at least PFPX is starting much quicker. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.

Regards Colin
