Fred,

>FWIW, it only seemed to have any impact on .EXE startup time. This is very important for applications at a call center, where the extra 3-5 seconds or so is way too long to get started.

Thanks for your help on this thread. I was looking for 'validation' that others were successfully using the non-default (faster) setting for sys(2450). It sounds like your experience has been positive. I'm going to configure our new apps to use the faster (non-default) setting, but will still provide a way for users to override this setting if they encounter problems (probably via an INI file).
