IE I assume that the poster has read the many posts describing search extensions here. And that there are only so many reasonable ways to attack this problem. However, the "speed" is *absolutely* an issue. IE would you like to drop back to hardware 7 years ago? Or do you like the speed you get on today's hardware? And if you went back 7 years ago, would you suffer more from the horizon effect than you do today? Why is that, do you suppose? :)
