Total Time: 03:45:34 (Wednesday, November 11, 2009 / 2:09 AM) The total time dropped from 04:38:38 to 03:45:34 - a nice improvement. And more importantly, the responsiveness does have the promised gains. While the search function used to be worthless on my library due to how slow it was, it can now actually return results.
