My app's record count depends on the user's original data file, but I have a
couple of customers with record counts approaching 20,000. One guy with a
new IIIxe (OS 3.5) reported that his database took only about 15 minutes to
download (about 19,000 records, 1.8Mb total size). Another person, who must
have been using a pre-3.5 device, reported over an hour to download
databases with about 14,000 records. I was wondering why the big difference
until I saw your post.
