No. Whatever the problem was (I _did_ manage to duplicate it on my Celeron 366 laptop using v18 - a 448K FFT was actually _slower_ than a 512K FFT on the same system!) v19 does not suffer from it. And the PrimeNet server doesn't recognise a Celeron unless v19 is running - in v18, all P6 architecture chips are identified as Pentium Pros. Note, when you upgrade a v18 client to v19, you should check the CPU type in Options/CPU - I don't think it checks automatically, except on initial installation.
