So there are only 2 user defined fields in the database.
Everything works ......... but terrible slow : is there a rule of thumb for the size of the database ?


Yes. The rule of thumb is that currently elog runs fine for a few 10000 entries. At 100000 entries it starts getting slow. I have already in my to-do list the task to improve the performance for large databases, and I have a rough idea where the bottleneck is, but I pushed the priority low because not many people have large databases right now (but it might change in the future). How many entries do you have? (It's not the size of the entries, but the number!)
