[FieldTrip] problems with speed of processing

[Michael Stephan]

Dear Eliana,

if your data sets vary in size you should sort them according to size 
and then process them starting with the largest data set.

> Hello Dear Fieldtrip Community,

> I am having now problems with processing my data. I am analyzing a quite
> big data set with 400 trials that are composed by 10 sec (re-sampled at
> 150Hz). I am doing first a demean, then planar gradient transformation,
> time-frequency analysis using multitapers and then combine the planar
> gradient again. For the first subject always runs normally, but for the
> second one matlab gets really slow. I am taking care in deleting the
> variables that I create with big amount of data after I don't need them
> any more, so I am using just one big file that is being safe at the end
> (average time-frequency across trials) for each of the subjects. Every
> time matlab starts to analyze a new subject I am using clear all (with
> exceptions like directory and name of subject) but stills with every new
> subject it gets slower and slower.

> Do you have any advises to make the analysis faster? Sometimes is too
> slow and the computer normally crashes after 3 subjects.
