On a 'Whim' I decided to see how many lines of code the HAL7.uhp Brain loaded plus what SALLE 4.0 loads...
Sooo,
HAL7.uhp = 2,617 lines.
SALLE 4.0 = 10,984 lines.
Total = 13,601 lines.
That's a lot code plus what all is in the HalBrain.db file and other files Hal uses...

Not sure how much UltraHal7.exe loads when you start HAL.
I can see where it slows down responses and bigger HalBrain.db files probably even slower... If I turn Off the 3 plug-ins I use the responses are pretty much instantaneous even with using Cloud Learning...
My HalBrain.db is only 80.2 mb's...
Most of the slow responses I get are from when my Internet connection isn't quite running where it should be or when I have a few tabs open in Firefox with Movies running at the same time HAL is running... If I run HAL with with those 3 Plug-ins and no other programs running the response time is pretty good...
Your mileage may vary...
