Anybody wants to comment on the : article's claim? *GRIN* Your wording does not say what they run 13 times faster than. I can only therefore deduce that you mean themselves - *VERY* likely. Refrasing your statement: A given NT server will run up to 13 times faster if nobody is using it. Not only is this possible, I can prove it ! *BIGGER GRIN* -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
