Mine crashed a couple of times doing that.
Mine finished w/o problems, probably because I left the computer alone (at home) and let it do its think w/o interruption.

But we got there. I'm having fun so far.
I've been searching for detailed explanations of S&W and individualised zones but no joy so far, would you have links handy (preferably not videos, I like to read technical info)?
I'm quite excited by the potential of individualised zones, but want to be really clear on the execution of the concept.
The S&W (strengths and weaknesses) chart is just another way of displaying your abilities relative to one the standard curve. (I actually prefer my WAC - Williams-Allen-Coggan chart, which does the same thing but in reference to the world-class level, ala the Mercier running tables. There's even an age-adjusted line if you want to play those sorts of "what if" games.)
There's at least one article on the individualized training levels (by Tim Cusick) on the TP website, but you're right, the educational aspect of their purpose/benefit/implementation is a bit lacking. In part, that's because of another major development that's still in the pipeline.
BTW (shameless plug): I'm doing a webinar next Tuesday evening (CST) on the new metrics/concepts in WKO4, including the individualized training levels. You may not be able to view it live due to the time change, but it will be recorded, so perhaps keep an eye out.
