That's roughly what we have. The algorithm that generates the records is CPU hungry, which is one reason to offload it to the installer - get as many records generated when user doesn't care so much about performance issues. We have a load of other optimization tricks in place, but this one gives the most benefit when measured against complexity...well it was until the interrupt was required 8))
