Upgrading to version 4.1 SP1 (Build#:20000007) will help.
Thanks & regards

This is probably the fix to your problem (it took a little more ’digging’.)
-----------------------------
Comparing Large Projects:
Increasing Claim Digger Memory Settings When working with large projects, Claim Digger may fail to respond for long periods of time due to a lack of memory. Claim Digger uses the default JVM heap settings, which may not be adequate for the current project. The maximum amount of memory available to Claim Digger can be modified via the Windows registry.
Do not add this value to the registry unless the amount of physical memory installed exceeds 256MB.
Launch the Registry Editor and navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePrimaveraSharedExternalApplicationsClaim Digger.
Double-click the “Parameters” key and enter the following at the beginning of the Value data field: -Xmx256m Make sure you leave a space between “-Xmx256m” and the next character in the Value data field.
For more information about JVM heap sizes, please refer to the appropriate Java documentation.

By the way, whey you are ready to step-up to the Best, try Schedule Analyzer for the Enterprise (the real Schedule Analyzer.) The industry standard Schedule Analyzer for P3 is now available for P3ec. See http://www.ronwinterconsulting.com/sa_main.htm for more on this.
I looked into the Primavera technical troubshooting database and found this:
--------------
Problem: When running the Schedule Analyzer it takes a long time to load the projects list when your a super user.
Problem: If you launch the Schedule Analyzer as a regular user, the projects list doesnt appear to load at all after waiting 10 minutes.
Problem: Schedule Analyzer hangs when trying to list projects.
Fix: This known problem in Project Manager is corrected in version 4.1.
---------
Oh, by the way: When Primavera says, "Schedule Analyzer", they mean "Claim Digger". Schedule Analyzer is an entirely different program created and sold by one of their Primavera Partners. The ad boys in the marketing department thought that it would be fun to steal the name of an existing supplier and use it in place of Claim Digger.
Good luck!

Yes, Claim Digger is included in Version 4.0. You have to install it in addition to the main product. One note: it will not work if you are using the default Interbase Database Server.
