Compressing tournament database

It is advisable to compress the tournament database regularly. Doing this will speed up the program while unnecessary data is removed. This unnecessary data is generated during the use of the database over time as a result of normal operations.  This data will slow down the program.

The compression process is fast, within seconds your database is clean and up-to-date. Not compressing your database does not influence your tournament but will slow down all actions you do with the database. Within database circles this process is also called "Compacting"
