Please do.  I'd like to include it as a mh/web example if you wouldn't mind.

Yeah, its pretty zippy!  We use that box as our main box for most things, so
I didn't mind splurging for it 8 months ago.  Today I think people are
upgrading boxes to dual 1 ghz boxes now for $1000 or so.

They key measurement is how many mh passes per second you are getting.  If
you don't have the tk interface on, you can see it on the web -> widgets ->
Global Variables:  $Info{loop_speed}.  Try setting the Entry Widget Sleep
time to 1 (or 0) and see if that helps.
