I am writing and debugging a Form module that collects selection criteria from the user, then launches a Report module, passing parameters. So here's what I need to run:  

  Forms Designer: To edit the Form module   Forms Runtime: Launched by Forms Designer to test the Form module   Reports Designer: To edit the Report module   Reports Server: Launched by Forms Runtime to run the Report module   SQL*Plus: To check the actual data to compare with the report output   Any text editor: To create commands to paste into SQL*Plus  

My disk heads never stop moving, even with 24 megabytes of physical RAM.  

Switching between tools causes significant delays while code page faults back in from the swap file.
