Thomas It's a good point you make. There is a spare P3 500MHz PC running W98 in my office, so I gave it a run on that and response times were 4x longer (average of 1.1 secs). I think that with a 1GHz CPU response time should be just about acceptable. The software is made for in-house usage, and I'm fairly sure none of the staff has less than a 1GHz PC.

Developers tend to have "cutting edge" hardware either for the "geek factor" or because they like the faster compile times or both. The "average user"'s computer is 1GHz-1.4GHz these days. So if it takes 250ms on your computer, assume it takes 2-3 times as long on slower hardware. However, the user is probably used to applications chugging along sluggishly, so it's your call. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
