As I wrote in bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=609909&aid=3449319&group_id=95013) I have to wait up to 15 seconds for my database to open up (and be saved).
I have switched from portable Version 1.x to 2.16 full version on my Win7 x64 machine.
Since that day my DB opens very, very slow. It's about 10MB and about 100 entries. I have used Favicon Downloader for customized Icons for the entries.
No. of Key transformations is set to: 3151360. It says that this would mean a one second delay. But I have to wait at least five seconds or more for the DB to open. Even with this value set to 500 it takes forever.
What can I do about it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When I create a new Database it's freaking fast (just as 1.x portable was). After importing the entries from my database, it is slow again. Please understand, that I can' t post my DB here. Also generating new passwords for all entries would take too long (and give you a list of web pages a regularly visit).
Would could be different to other users is that I use the comment field very much. Probably about 50 - 100 characters per entry. What could be the problem? The import from the portable version? The custom entry icons?
I have the same issue. 15-25 seconds to open and save DB.
I have:
* Win7 x 64
* Keepass v. 2.17
* used PNG and ICO for entry pictures
* used mobile version to add new entries while under way from iPad
* 1 Mb DB size
* copied the two DLL files into the KeePass 2.x application directory but is dows not impove the situation.
Please, advice.
Yury.

Do you have it set to auto-open a database upon opening the application? Which is to say, are you sure it is the act of opening the database that is slow, as opposed to the act of opening the application being slow?
I have found 2.18 to be significantly slower than whatever I was running before (probably 2.17, but it may have been 2.16) ever since installing it, in many of its operations. Opening the application used to be near-instantaneous, but with 2.18, sometimes I'm waiting for 5-10 seconds or more just for the window to appear at all. Auto-type is noticably slower. Sometimes even little things, like hitting the "show password" button when viewing an entry, oddly takes a second to respond rather than being instant as it used to be. The one thing I haven't actually noticed slowing down, however, is the actual database opening- my installation is not set to open a DB automatically, so I can see the application opening slowly but the database seeming to be okay.
Now that I think about it, I remember there being a new option on the installation screen, as well, something about optimizing speed. It was partly that option's existence that made me so surprised to see the new version being so much slower than the old in so many respects. Does anyone know what that option actually does?

I tried 2.17, 2.18, and KeePass_120211. All are taking several minutes to open my database. One thing to add. If KeePass opens on an empty group, it comes up quickly. If the group contains many entries it can a *very* long time. Any time I click on the large group, KeePass locks up again for several minutes.

Right. The suggestion isn't a fix (it'll still take a long time to switch to the big group) but it will help determine if we're seeing the same symptoms and help point the troubleshooting in the right direction.

OK. I see.
I have created empty group and put a focus on it. Saved DB and close. Reopen again… No change, still long time. After opening focus was on Empty group.

What can I do about it?
An old thread I know. I had this issue in Win 10 running an SSD. Fix was to 'Unblock' the KeePassX.exe file after downloading
You mean KeePass.exe?
You should always unblock files after you have virus scanned and verified their authenticity.
cheers, Paul
If you provide a sample database and your configuration file, I can try to reproduce the slowness that you're seeing.
Best regards

I confirmed this bug. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3449319&group_id=95013&atid=609909

Config files looks like this:
I've improved the key transformations 1 second delay calculation; it's more accurate now.
Here are the latest development snapshot files for testing:

(copy the two DLL files into the KeePass 2.x application directory)
Thanks and best regards

seemanntech : With new dll-s, file menu/database settings/security tab, click to 1 second delay, press OK, after file menu/save.
totya7: before click value was 60 000, after click 3 786 240. Not a wright way ….
I put 1000 - should be ok.
Could be a very large DB, 1MB is the compressed size. How much memory does KeePass use with and without DB open? Also test with a new database.
cheers, Paul
Memory used with 1Mb DB = 33 116 Kb
Memory used with new 10Kb DB = 22 270 Kb
Also I have put in DB settings do not use GZIP compression. Size became = 1.3 Mb.
Does reducing the key transforms make any difference?
Is it slow on other PCs?
cheers, Paul
Opening still slow. Saving is faster.
I did not try other pc yet. Will try and report.

Application opens fast. Then dialog for password appears. DB is opening for 2 mins 10 secs!!! (Measured with timer)
I tried 2.17, 2.18, and KeePass_120211. All are taking several minutes to open my database. One thing to add. If KeePass opens on an empty group, it comes up quickly. If the group contains many entries it can a *very* long time. Any time I click on the large group, KeePass locks up again for several minutes.
Gentlemen, any ideas how to fix this issue?
These breaks moves me to refuse Keepass =(
Do you see the same behaviour as dbrand? Add an empty group, save and re-open.
cheers, Paul
pail459: There are no probs to open any groups. Problem to open DB.
The suggestion is to open it with the focus on an empty group.
cheers, Paul
Right. The suggestion isn't a fix (it'll still take a long time to switch to the big group) but it will help determine if we're seeing the same symptoms and help point the troubleshooting in the right direction.
OK. I see.
I have created empty group and put a focus on it. Saved DB and close. Reopen again… No change, still long time. After opening focus was on Empty group.
Have you tried another PC with a clean installation of KeePass?
cheers, Paul
Yeah, I have tried to run this DB (with empty group) on other PC - no change, still slow.
