mining large dataset using RapidMiner

Question

Hi,

I have tried to use RapidMiner to mine the dataset which contained 72.000 records with 80 attributes. First I tried to add the block 'Optimize Selection (Evolutionary)' to select just relevant attributes. For regression I tried to use SVM but about an hour after running the analysis using SVM I've got a notification error.

Has anyone used RapidMiner for mining large dataset? Does anyone what is the appropriate approach for mining large datasets with RapidMiner? I tried to use the same data in SPSS and the performance in terms of time was much better.

Thank you!
