RE: Change requests on searching problems

Thanks for the information Jon.  I think our network is fast but the source
I was loading in browse had 23,632 lines.  It appears that using an
autostart server decreases load time about in half.  On a 450MHz PC with
196KB RAM, it took 30 seconds with an STRCODE session server but 15 seconds
with an autostart server.  On a 1GHz PC with about 256KB RAM, it took 17
seconds with an STRCODE session server but 9 seconds with an autostart
server.  I wonder why the autostart server appears to be about twice as
fast as the STRCODE session server.  I usually use an STRCODE session
server in case I want to run host commands, use TurnOver compiling in the
Editor, etc.  I am getting used to the CL GUI prompting.  I hope the lab is
hopeful of speed increases too for SP4.

Thanks,
Craig Strong

Are you sure it's not your system?  Even when I was running a VPN over a
dial up connection I never had much of a problem with the download speed.
The speed with which it loads the library and member lists (and keeps
forgetting the darn thing on saves - grrr) is truly sad, but the speed of
source download is OK.  Not to say it couldn't be a lot faster.

I think the Lab are hopeful of significant speed increases in the area of
400 access in the next release but we'll have to wait an see.
