Another thing to consider is that this was all going on over a fairly heavily used network to begin with and the NT Workstation and even the server weren't running on particularly zippy hardware.

I couldn't believe they found it acceptable and didn't call me. If I hand't gone on site I never would have found this problem. They would just start a query and go on break, so they actually were rather fond of my software. :)
