Display while Loading
Choosing this item on the File Menu will mean that the start of a newly-made concordance is displayed as soon as possible, allowing you to browse while the rest of the concordance is loaded.
Choosing this option greatly reduces the time which it takes to see the first results when making a large concordance. It does, however, increase the total time before the entire concordance is available for browsing.
If you want to go straight to a location near the end of a concordance you are loading - i.e. look at occurrences of a word near the end of the alphabet - or if you want to get the whole concordance ready for printing or exporting as quickly as possible, you should not choose 'Display while Loading'. With it turned off, none of the words in the Wordlist will be displayed until they are all available, but the time to reach that state will be reduced.
With faster computers, the quicker setting, subjectively at least, is to turn off 'Display while Loading'.
