slurping in win xp vs hpux

[Ron Hartikka]

I have a script that slurps a couple of 10-20 MB files and then processes them.   On my newish xp laptop, the slurps take around 150 of the 200 sec run time. On the oldish HPUX ws the slurps take around 20 of the 500 sec run time.   So, my UX processor is slower but maybe has a better disk.     And/Or: Is there some win32 setting that could be slowing the XP slurp?   Thanks Ron Hartikka Interautomation Inc.
