Saving a project takes a long period of time

General Questions/Discussions
1

I’m using an Evaluation Copy of Version 5.0. In my test project I have 18 activity diagrams. Now it takes nearly half a minute to save the project. I intend to create some further diagrams in this project. But I fear that it will take more and more time with each new diagram.
Should I split the project into several smaller projects?

Dear JN,

Thank you for your message. When saving the project, VP will cache all opened diagrams. To reducing the saving time, please close all unused diagrams before save. You can close multiple diagrams through the Switch to Diagram dialog (Ctrl-Shift-E) or simply close all diagrams by Ctrl-Shift-W. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.

Best regards,
Rain

Dear Anonymous,

Sorry for causing you any inconvenience. Would you mind sending me your project file along with the log file (%VP-Suite_HOME%/bin/vp.log) for testing? You can send it to my email address:
