Tips to speed-up the execution of PCA-Frame solver:

1. Before executing the solver, reduce the graphics shown in the 
PCA-Frame window to a minimum.  The best way to do that is by hiding
the graphical model.  From the Show menu, choose Select.  Using the
right-mouse button, select the whole model (thus untagging all members).
From the Show menu, choose Hide/Show.

2. When dealing with a large model, optimize the structure
by choosing the Optimize button in the Solve dialog box.

3. If you are running Windows in enhanced mode and you have more 
than one hard disk or if your disk has multiple partitions, set
the Windows swap file (whether temporary or permenant) to the
drive or partition with the most available space.

4. Defragment your hard disk using a disk defragmentation utility
such as Norton or PCTools.

5. Close all other Windows applications prior to executing the solver
thus giving PCA-Frame more available memory.

6.  Last but not least, install more memory and try to give windows
more disk space.
