I hope that's true but I think the most important point is that it is slower because it is so much slower. In other words the terminal without KMS would likely be slowing down the operation anyway except you only noticed before when performance really mattered and so now you are working even faster with the arguable bonus that things may be more likely to be noticed as they fly by to shift -> page up to. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
