Unified Stats acting weird

Ok ... maybe I'm doing something wrong

I did run a quick test and it looks like I was right about the speed.

I've scanned the stats for Niche Pay since January 2007 with both Unified Stats and Nifty Stats.

Unified Stats scan time : 20 minutes and 50 seconds

Nifty Stats scan time : 50 seconds

Fonz, thx for the support!

JD, thx for the feedback, I am def interested in hearing feedback from users and trying to follow it up with helpful improvements...

You peaked my interested, and I decided to test/time it on my end....

Using a 500$ laptop (tho, hardware differences really shouldn't make a difference with this test, but just to rule it out)...I scanned a nichepay program in 4 min and 5 sec, going back to jan 01...

One thing that does come to mind though, if you added each of the individual nichepay programs separately, it's going to be scanning each one separately...

By design, unified will only scan a single program, one date at a time...in other words, even though it's multithreaded..(does multiple things at once)...we try not to overwhelm a program with multiple requests at once...ie, it will scan 3/20, then 3/19, 3/18 ect...not all 3 (or more) at once.

When it's scanning multpiple programs though...it will do these concurrently...ie, it will scan multiple programs at once, same dates, ect...

The other thing is, I noticed we don't have an All Programs option under nichepay, in which case it would gather all of the stats at once for them (ie, you don't have to enter sep programs in unified if you don't want to), we'll have this updated in the next update.

While doing the dates one at a time for a program is a designed feature in unified, it's really a moot point outside of the initial/historic scan since you are basically then working more with multiple programs, not as much multiple dates, going forward.

Thanks again...we'll get the all programs added to nichepay very soon...
