I'm not sure (Peter might comment) but I think most Flex-ES systems are dual processor with one processor already dedicated to support functions like I/O - so I doubt the other (emulating) processor would see any difference. As I said before, I don't think space saving via compression is a good strategic route, but it's up to you: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/63/27961.html If someone's going to code it for nothing, all well and good - but it has to be supported after that. ------------------------ Yahoo!
