Curiously it seems to only be a significant problem on one particular machine although it does run slower on all our Windows machines so it may well be a driver related issue.

But there is still a performance regression on all machines... > On 8 Nov 2013, at 8:02, Darryl R <rdarr...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > It seems ok for me so far on windows.
