Since I can't imagine you're running a machine 50 times slower than mine, there's something seriously weird going on ... BTW, I still don't quite get why append has to be so much slower than insert tail. Does anyone have any ideas wrt/ that issue? -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
