I think this is just a confusion between interpreting the sentence fragment "remainder of count" as "remaining records in file" vs "remainder of division applied to record count"

    Hello SuicideJunkie,

    Yes, I did interpret '...the sentence fragment "remainder of count" as "remaining records in file'.

    We have a tera-byte database that we exceed reading 100K records per second, so it seemed very odd to wait 10 seconds every 100 records. My bad!
