That was on a NETWARE installation and the processing and file size
makes it difficult to collect for your information.

I can say that it was visibly faster running the same tables in
quickstart versions.  Clients are Win98 and WinXP computers.  Memory
could definitely be the reason it would be better.  I think in that
case, your magic maching which never gives you any memory issues would
never be able to reproduce sucn a result.

But I can certainly say it is the truth.
