Well, of course running tests would be optional. But it's also possible that we would create a similar but separate setup to run performance tests. Creating it would be lots easier this time around ;-) Let's come up with something we can run by hand, decide the parameters, and set set about automating and distributing it. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
