Thanks, this is just the kind of number I was looking for. Given the
differences in hardware and software, your code appears to be about 10
times as fast as what I am running now. Given that I have done no code
tweaking, this tells me that my algorithms do quite nicely, even if the
code is not setting any records, which puts my code right in the area that
I was looking for. 

Once again, thanks.
