a quick update on this request. I was getting massive wait times of over 10 seconds between operations, so i did some searching and found a post about unused templates, which the user had over 350. I've got over 600 unused templates, i guess i've altered it way too many times. Well i took the advice on the post to delete the unused templates and all is fine now, no more delays and no need for an old update file.
PS., i now have only 16 templates.
