Beast - Thanks for showing up 8^). Yours is exactly the situation that lead me to my rant.
Licensing costs is the bingo for corporate users and institutional/government users, anywhere where there are "numbers" and places where folks are just plain poor by "western" standards. The key to widespread adoption of technology is "cheap" as in free as in Linux which is why I do go on my performance rants occasionally. Linux will be the "Revolution OS" as soon as some of these issues are resolved. I've got no help for you with the performance thing, but there were some useful tips if you backtrack on this thread.
