I have 18,670 entries in the memorized payee list. Do you think this is
causing slow performance? Even with quickfill turned off, I am on the clock
5-10 seconds every time I tab to the payee field in a new transaction. Just
upgrade from 2001 to 2009. Did not have a problem with speed in 2001.

If you hadn't said you get the same delay with QuickFill off, I would have
said the Memorized Payee list sounds like it could be, at least, part of
the problem.

But, my understanding has been that there is a limit on the Memorized
Payee list that probably wouldn't allow anywhere near that number of
payees.

You can test your theory easily. Backup. Delete all your Memorized
Payees. [You can select them all as you would select multiple files in
Windows Explorer.] See what your response time is like with no Memorized
Payees. Revert to your backup.

If the empty Memorized Payee list brought much faster response time, plan
to cull your existing list.

[Also consider the possibility that there may be some corruption in the
Memorized Payee list ... you might be able to get an idea if this is true
by Validating a Quicken Copy of your data, and testing in the Validated
Copy. On the off-chance that the Validate improves response time, make
the Validated Copy your regular file.]
