Geocoding Quite Slow and Stalling with Some Datasets

Hello,

First I will explain how I created my compiled geocoder:

1) Created a Main locator with locator style General - Single Field, use the address point feature class as a primary table together with the KeyField alias name with the exact address field. I use Spelling Sensitivity 100, Min Candidate Score 100, and Min Match Score 100 for Address Locator Properties. (I have also tried different values)

2) Created a theoretical locator with locator style US Address - Dual Ranges, use a road network feature class as a primary table with From Left ,To Left, From Right, To Right, Street Name, Suffix Type, and Suffix Direction having alias names LEFT_FROM_ADDR, LEFT_TO_ADDR, RIGHT_FROM_ADDR, RIGHT_TO_ADDR, NAME, STREET_TYPE, AND OCTANT respectively. I use Spelling Sensitivity 65, Min Candidate Score 30, and Min Match Score 50, as well as Connectors: & @ l and for Address Locator Properties. I also have Side Offset: 11m and End Offset 10%.

3) I use both of the above with 1 being my priority.

When I attempt to geocode a table of 27490 records only approximately 3000 were done 16 hours later. When I break that dataset up into quadrants I have had no difficulty with geocoding datasets with 4645 and 5095 records. They are done in about 5 minutes. I have a dataset with 5575 records that takes about 25 minutes longer, sometimes stalling at certain points in the process. The fourth dataset with 6961 records does not work. I have tried several times sometimes lowering some of the locator properties, etc; and it just will not work. I have a feeling that same data is what is not allowing the the entire dataset to not work.

We do have access to another geocoder that consists of a main geocoder using US Address - Single House, an apartment locator, an alias locator, and Intersection locator. This geocoder seems to have no difficulty, taking 15-20 minutes for the enitre dataset. I cannot speak on the accuracy however. As you can see I am very curious what is so wrong with the one I have created. What is missing? Is there an issue with using a point feature class and a polyline feature class together?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin
