Personally i have to do this (renaming old transcript file) when the history gets huge (like a few years of constant chatting with someone). Spark is not freezing for me, but sending and receiving messages becomes slower (a second or so pause before every message). Huge history takes more memory and Spark can't handle it. A known culprit with no solution so far. But in the case of the freezes, this may be a corruption of transcripts. I can't say for sure this is fixed in the 2.7.0 version, we are still using it a bit less than a year, but so far there were no issues like Spark always hanging when chatting with a specific user. 2.7.0 so far only exists in the form of the nightly builds. I'm updating to the latest version once in a month or two (~150 users). Sometimes it hangs for one or two users (not because of transcripts), but pretty stable so far.
