Hmm .. the problem is that the CPU rarely (if ever) maxxes out, but the
application still struggles its titties off. And due to the nature of
the application, the time you need the fastest response is also the time
the application is working its hardest.

The app is written using Web Objects, which I believe is some sort of
Java variant? Anyone have an opinion on Web Objects? Whatever it is, it
seems very slow .. and far too pretty. Gimme the Windows API anyday ..
