Re: Enough grunt for v4r5?

[John Rockwell <midson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you pick an interactive 'feature' level that matches your current CPW, you'll
probably experience diminished performance.  Keep in mind that this feature acts
as a 'maximum' throughput controller and not just a minimum throughput guarantee
as some of us have come to expect from past experience.  (You'll get the 
promised
CPW and probably not be happy with it.)
