I cant comment on Version 6+ as I'm running 5.5. Perhaps i should be more specific. The lack of speed I'm refering to is on the graphic side. I can watch my screen and count to 10 just to wait for the software to respond to a pan command. Maybe I'm impatient, but waiting 10 seconds for mapping software to pan a map is painfull .
Just in case your wondering, running manifold on a P4 3.0 Ghz with an NVIDIA Quardro Card with 128 Megs of onboard RAM.

You've got to be kidding! And look at the last week (or year) of posts here on MapInfo-L about MapInfo Professional's problems with MS Access; contrast that with the database facilities in Manifold 6+ and its powerful spatial SQL ... I main thing wrong with Manifold is that it's priced too low.

THis is mainly because it is painfully slow. I have found it usefull as a extra utility, but don't rely on it (like i do mapinfo) for day to day work. That being said, it's not a bad deal for $300 or whatever it costs now, assuming you also have Mapinfo, ArcView, or a compararble desktop product.

I would particularly be interested in how Manifold compares to MapInfo. I will be cheking out an evaulation copy of Manifold this week, but any Manifold real world experiences would be helpful.
