Ooops... I could have specified that better, too... the prior processing is not taking 2 hours, it is done over a two hour period. As it stands now, however, it would never cram into 10-15 minutes, maybe 30-45... (we plan on doing a test, but the people running it are a bit timid about it) so I don't need to speed it up as much as it sounds... it is just that now we are forced to crank out the data in a smaller window...

I have been curious about Inline::C, however, so I may have to use this opportunity to play with it.
