Hey folks,

        I'm just curious to know what, exactly, happens during the
"estimating" (is this the planner?) phase before a dump happens.

        I have a small network here at home, with machines ranging
from PII-333's to a P-90.  The PII-anythings take literally seconds
to offer up their estimates (ie, when I check an amstatus), but the
P90 takes about 15 minutes.

        I'm just curious to know what sort of operation is happening
that takes so long.  :)  (ie, is it mathematically intensive, or ?)

Thanks!

Benny

ps:  Yes, I know my P90 is a POS.  :)
