Slow Copying of Web Sites to Ultra Recall

I can’t recall seeing a discussion about this issue.
Am I alone in finding it takes Ultra Recall a long time to copy web pages to store within the program? My experience is that it takes longer with UR than any other program I’ve used.
Is there any way that the process can be made faster.
I use Surfulater because it is so fast, but there are times it is helpful to have web pages in the same place as text documents.
Thanks.

if there is a page that takes tooooo long to save, please report it.
it is generally longer than other apps because it does indexing + update of other attributes. It was never issue for me because what I value is the retrieval time - time that I can find what I’m looknig for. So I don’t mind that it takes 5 sec to save a page if later on, I can find relevant info in say 1 minute rather than 10 minutes or not at all.

I agree indexing takes extra time. But my I can find information just as fast in Surfulater - I don’t know if it indexes or not - but the bottom line is how quickly it finds information.
It should not take a program such as UR more than 20 seconds (often more) to store and index a small site.

Do you have a web address as an example ? How long does IE take to completely open the page ? Make sure you press Ctrl-F5 to force a real refresh.

The situation which lead to my post today is I had a BBC News page, which had opened in UltraRecall.
I copied web page to UR (rather than merely link it).
All within UR, it took about 25 seconds.
As for IE, I do not use it. And with the way Firefox behaves these days, I use it very seldom. In other words, it’s almost all Chrome. I think, as an aside, it’ll increasingly be necessary for programs such as UR, InfoQube and others to take Chrome into account.
