:) Now I have a mental picture of a phd student tied to a chair with his eyes taped open, forced to look at a billion depictions for 10ms each. Pictures are only useful if you have a human looking at them. Looking is only useful if you do it long enough for the brain to process it. The whole "what if we need a billion depictions all at once" implies that you have a billion users looking at them all at once. If you don't, then rapid response is a very interesting academic exercise but its practical usefulness might be somewhat questionable. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
