Alex, thanks for jumping in here. I'll try that, but in the meantime I
must say that of all the posts I've ever made this is one of the most
gratifying. I just tried Phil's suggestion of increasing the X-mod to
100 and, just as Phil predicted, I was shocked at the results. Don't
know why I didn't think of it right off. Probably the end of the day or
the 2 glasses of wine with dinner, but increasing the X-mod did it.
This handler is now well within the acceptable range of time-to-execute
any user would expect.
Many thanks!

You may have done this already, but experiment with other cursor
update intervals - like every 50th or 100th time. You may be shocked!

Ah Haa!! You've shaved another 3 and a half seconds off what started
out as 40 seconds, got cut down to 5, and is now just 1.5 seconds.
Very good!
Phil - many thanks for your help on this. I'll probably use these
ideas on many handlers to come.
