That adds up pretty quick. I don't know the effort involved, but if the ant runner for example could be made to run in a different thread for each invocation that could speed things up drastically only for this use case. > So until a proof of concept is available, I think this is just a lot > of chatter on the users list. See that's the privilege of being a user and not a developer. You can chatter and dream all you want about seemingly impossible-to-add features without having to worry about the implementation or getting restricted by your knowledge of the current codebase. Being able to do this is crucial to the innovation of any project, so by all means folks please keep the chatter going :-) Jorg
