So what's the problem? Logs are always supposed to be on the fastest devices, and because of their sequential nature, lgwr will always be faster than dbwr. What difference does it make if it's now 10x faster insead of 5x faster? Dbwr has always played catch-up and always will. Received on Thu May 24 2001 - 13:59:42 CDT
