Just wanted to second the recommendation to restrict the size of your
data-sets. IIRC Decision Cube tries to hold everything in memory, which
doesn't work real well if you're manipulating a lot of data.
I have no example I can send, but take a look at chapter 27 (I think) and
have a play. It's described quite well, and isn't hard to put together.
