Thanks for all the suggestions.

Usually processing time takes a few minutes, but this person has put in lots and lots of data, and hence it now takes forever.

I am sure there is room for code optimization.

I thought I might get some immediate improvements by tweaking the hardware settings first. Doing some testing now based on the suggestions received.
