Dramatically Slow and RAM consuming. #52

Hi,

I have managed to create the tables of seeds from 1% Census data that give me around 5600 Households seeds and 11700 person seeds. I have tried to generate the population for nearly 3700 Census Block. The code appears very slow in performing the synthesis for all the 3700 blocks. Moreover, I had to reduce the number of households and person seeds because in the first extraction the was larger than 5600 hh_seeds and 11700 pp_seeds I had some memory issues. However, even in this case, the code seems very ram consuming up to 25Gb. If you need I can provide my data for some test.

Best, Lorenzo Bottaccioli

Hi @LorenzoBottaccioli thanks for helping us improve. Yes, please do send the data and the code for testing. You are using the master branch right? We are working on some improvements to speed things up.

It was before summer so I hope I remember well the data I was using.
