I'd be surprised if you could provide a relevant example where even ~5% of total compute time are spend inside (any)DOS (and NOT stalled on input). Optimizing this is irrelevant.

Most of this is there because it HAS to be in low memory (else they would be in HMA) Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
