[amibroker] Optimize Optimize-Speed

I want to tune things as much as possible to make large number optimize
runs go as fast as possible.

Regarding database settings to maximize speed, the idea was to limit the
number of bars loaded.

Is there a way to do this temporarily without losing any data?  This
would be for EOD via a TC2000 plugin.  I currently have this set to 5000
bars in the file database section but 100,000 bars in the Preferences
Data section (I think this is a result of my setting 100,000 for my RT
setup.)

I am backtesting from 1998 so I believe I only need around 1300 bars,
maybe 1500.

Will changing this setting speed up the optimizations? And which one
should I change.

(A big watchout that I want to avoid is getting the bars set too low in
RT because then it "cleans out" data on a first-inm first-out basis and
I do not want to lose any of my RT 1 min bars.)

Would it be advised to export my EOD symbol bars to a csv file (from
1998 to present) and then create a new database and import just those
symbols that I am optimizing?  Would this be a good way to go?

Any other hints on speeding up optimization?

Ken
