HI Jeff, Thank you for your reply. Can I read into what you said at the start that production performance will be higher than the sandbox?
I was using lists for text ads and keywords (also using the checks first as advised), however in the case of adgroups I was adding them one buy one (then the ads and criteria to each). The cost turns out to be too high for the volume I indent (and it's very slow) so I have changed the model. The way I plan to manage the adgroups now is different and should be much cheaper (and faster, sandbox or not). Thanks for your advice, good titbits for any model. Phil.
