I'm sure it will work for these speeds (and it does reduce the CPU load marginally), but it shouldn't be necessary to lengthen these. Can you share your reason for changing them? I ask for two reasons: 1) if you found that something didn't work at 1,000,000 but it did at 2,400,000, I'd like to know. 2) I think it's usually best to keep changes to the INI to a minimum - it makes upgrades easier if you only change things that are specific to your machine and leave the rest at default. - Steve >Thanks, >Cecil > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
