My 24 year old grandson mentioned to me that this should not be running this slow when checking my scans . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Gerry | |

My guess is that the 32-bit architecture of OT can't take advantage of the resources available. I'm sure there's users far more knowledgeable on this subject who could verify or refute this idea. | |
