I agree. I do run KVM in simulators which works quite well, but SLOF ends up being the slowest part, it's also a black box to me so it's difficult to go about debugging or changing things. I can't be of much more help with the code I'm sorry, except to add my +1 for the feature and agree with Greg that the non-vof changes seem small. Thanks, Nick
