I am sure others have noticed this, but I thought I would post it.

Although the 'Cat has had plenty of hiccups in the last few months, they are getting fewer and fewer. SO that's a very good thing for those of us who gobble up its bandwidth every day.

But even more impressive is the quantum leap in speed of response it has been showingin the last 6-10 weeks, I think. I can load the whole MOAB thread in descending order without killing the Cat or crashing any processes, in under about 40 secs generally, and other, more normal-size requests come zooming back in a second or perhaps three. This is head and shoulders above the performance we had in 2003 and earlier. LOng DB searches are similarly significantly faster.

So, Max and Jeff, it is clear something right is going on. Well done.
