I agree about getting to the bottom of this.  As soon as I get EMAIL send authorization here I can contact the owners of fast and slow SEs to compare application common denominators.  So far the experiences seem to be split 50-50 regarding slower or not.  If any of the slow SE-7 owners comes across a processor hog in their system before we find out anything then please post it: I am back running 6.0.7 and don't plan on tesseracting again until the coast is clear (following these metephors?).  (Q:  Any slow




 SE-7s NOT running Disk Express? DOS  Mounter?)

Thanks for the replies so far:  Brad
