Hi John,
  Be sure that you give its Hashtables plenty of MB. The Programmer recomends
that 16MB for 40 / 2hrs. and so you could probaly go to 32MB for Longer times!

As for the Personality Settings, you migh want to try CM6555, but experiment by
using the Brute Force and decreasing the Selective Search to less than the
Default of 6 but only if you are letting it search well overnight. This way it
wont miss anything but it will take alot longer in the Search! Its just an idea!

Best Regards,
Terry Ripple
