Speed-up OmniFocus syncing by trimming the database
Here is a great and detailed description about a monthly routine on how to trim some fat from your OmniFocus database & speed up syncing. We all sometimes suffer from bloated database files that make the synchronisation process take longer than required. Although the OmniGroup has invested heavily to improve sync speeds (and they certainly succeeded bug time), there is still some risk that you synchronise more than you actually need. So, here’s my monthly OmniFocus compacting routine which keeps the size of my database small, and speeds up the opening of OmniFocus on my iPhone. I have shaved MBs of my database in the past, as a matter of fact, the first time I did this whole process I reduced my database from 21 MB to 750 KB. That said, I now probably reduce it by about 75% (from ~600KB down to ~150KB) The post covers basic such as ‘Moving Old Data to Archive’, but also provides a step by step instruction on how reduce the site of the database that is synchronised. Make sure you do a backup of your OmniFocus database first and use the process at your own risk.
