RE: Using DVD-RAM drive

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

Some more info. 

On the SAVSAVFDTA job, for a long, long time, the job showed 39 milliseconds of 
CPU time used.

But finally, after about 70min.  The job finished, only showed 1 second used of 
CPU time.


Now, for comparison, the creation of the save file took only about 5min.  The 
save file size ended up being just over 3 gigs.  

Is 45 MB/min correct or what?  My PC DVD burner, using an RW disk with the 
packet writing driver InCD, does much better than that.
