The Check & Repair used to be slow (minutes); somewhere along the way,
there was a major improvement; it is so fast (less than a second) on my
network file with 6+ years of data that I can barely see the progress

I’m running 4.13 on a windows 10 computer. I have a big problem
getting any reports to run properly but today it is the check and
repair function. No option that I choose gives me a “working”
indication. I’m trying to be proactive before upgrading. Couldn’t
find anything in the manual.
