A priori I am using the CVS version which I had updated last weekend.

Yep. I am running RefDB locally on a machine Dual PIII-700 with 512 MB
RAM using a postgres database on the same machine. So as it' s on the
same machine, it should not go through the network, shouldn't it ?
During the time I checked with top from time to time, and postgres
postmaster took between 40 and 90 percent.
Endnote swallows the data instantly (let' s say 5 secs)... :(

Yes, I'd love to.


Thanks for your support and input, Markus and Bruce.
