Max files manitenance

borae's icon

Hi,

I have been using max for a while now and all this time, i kept all my max files (all patches and externals) in a separate folder than the app itself and i have noticed that the startup time of max has increased. I was wondering if a separate folder or having multiple search paths would effect the performance of max. The folder has gotten really fat so any suggestions on organization would be very helpful as well :)

Thanks..
