I am rather sure this kind of problem isnt amenable to what you call a 'fix'. Certainly there is no shortage of grandiose ideas on this list - especially if they should be done by somebody else, that is. But if you actually go about it, be prepared to take out a bigger bite and repair a few fundamental limitations and design defects along the way, it might actually stand a chance of being more than a new layer of band aid. Reserve a few months just to be on the safe side. You will find several starting points in the IRC log I posted. - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
