How to deal with seasons over time? Massive slowdown while loading.

[Sam Gothman]

How do you guys handle different cycling seasons. I used to have one user, but with 5 years it started to become a nuisance to load and backup the data.

What's the way to deal with it? Set up users per season? It's nice to compare the data over time, especially for segments, but the slowdown makes it a not so nice experience.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Personally I reduced the automatically detected intervals to the ones I really need and keep only the last few years on the main athlete for better performance.

OTOH, I have a historic athlete with more than 15 years for when I want to make comparisons with the past, which tends to depress me so it being slow is a lesser issue ;)

Every 5 years I start a new file. I name the files with the years covered. If I need data from years ago, I just load the appropriate file.
