A Few Questions
 

So as many people know that when you play OOTP the .dat files expand and more you play version 8 the slower it runs... so I was wondering is there a way to shrink the .dat files down ?

The other thing I was wondering was whenever I open up my league in OOTP8 I'm taking about 415mb of ram just to have things idle... now yes I understand that it's a 66 team league and it's going to take a fair bit more ram... or is it possible to cut down on the ram without loosing teams ?

I downloaded demos of OOTPX and OOTP11 and neither seem to cut the ram down if anything they put the ram up more...

Or would it be best to split the league into separate leagues so that iI have to run them separately rather than them simultaneously ?
