I'd characterize that as "similar functionality." Besides, I find it hard to believe it can speed-up the retrieval of something it doesn't have immediately available to serve locally. Even if it has something to do with the selective compression, that's only going to increase latency on the initial fetch and without a large population of users behind the device to amortize the costs it imposes, there's less potential for overall improvement. > -- > -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
