Jerome,
The odd thing is that it seems unpredictable, suggesting that there is
more to it than the Felix cache alone. I'll pay more attention.
The very slowest machine is the best, since it would show the longest
delay. Would a 500MHz G3 from 2000 work for you? :;
I was just trying to point out that even on fast hardware that the
time delay is substantial. It delays me every day, all day long (I
restart the server constantly).
