I was gonna start my own thread but then I used the big brain advanced technique of looking up the word "slow." I work on the 03-04 database with 2 million+ changes and obviously it's a complete nightmare to start up a game. It's hilarious but I have the thing up on steam workshop and half the comments are like "game dont work" because yeah, these guys are waiting 3 hours to make a save game, of course they think it froze. I'd like to know if there's a technical/memory leak reason for this that SI can work on.

One thing that might be able to help: because of the way the player IDs transitioned over to  the ~2000060000... numbers, I had a version of this that didn't load in my 10k+ brand new player entries, and it loaded just fine despite still having a ton of changes (including deleting hundreds of thousands of younger database players). I wonder if the new player entries or the way the game loads them in might be an issue.

Hey @majesticeternity

Does this still happen?

I've noticed a similar thing when editing the Retro Regens mod.  It also takes ages to even delete people from the base database, often completely freezing.
