These two operations when they get optimized will increase our xstones ratings. A profile of XS3 has shown that the server spends 50% of its time copying data. On a different topic, does any one has any information on implementing the local ipc mechanism between the server and its clients using shared memory. This is another area which if its implemented properly can boost the performance of the server, some claimed by a factor of two for certain operations. Hope this helps, Amancio
