No that reply wasn't paying attention to the point that we were *sorting* the list. True if you simply Sample the list, they are in random hashed order. But that is not true is the list comes into your program sorted by you execute a sort as the first statement in your program. No you do not

Bill from your stat report, it's doubtful that this is your problem. Your VOC appears to be more or less sized fine. Even were it very badly sized, one second seems long. I would consider that something in your system is eating CPU like a wild hog. That's more likely to be the culprit. Will

Evan, as others have said, you don't really want *all* the columns. Some of what you're here calling columns are actually calculations. So for example, in your database you might have a field that is BirthDate, and a column name that actually says BirthDate as well (if you're lucky!). But
