All, Please ignore my comment below about the load factor changing with the final release -- it does not. I figured out that my load factor varies during the day depending on the details of the chart. I am doing come complex calculations that get more or less intense depending on the patterns showing up in the chart. My load factor is now around 900 at this point in the day. The popups have stopped for the moment -- until the charts change patterns again. I still want to banish the popup though.
