Excellent, excellent reply! Thanks- you've given me lots of ideas. The
speedyCGI is just what I need, I think. We'll be able to turn on and off
the logging, so I could do some real-world comparisons. I'll let you know
how it goes!

I'm not either. But it'll happen. As a matter of fact, Microsoft told us
not to do it now under the current NT/Exchange. But by next year, it
should be ready to go.
