Given those figures, I think that the limiting factor is in the MS-SQL server. Before migrating to 7.0 as Tim Minchin suggests, I would be inclined to check whether the indexes in the tables your Radiator accesses are OK. > > I would like to find out if the above results are typical, and what are > the numbers that others are observing on a NT-based setup using MS-SQL. On such boxes, I would expect to see considerably better performance. Cheers. -- Mike McCauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open System Consultants Pty.
