You fly while you fill the cache
but then it should stay fast
you describe gioing to 1 record/minute which ius ridiculously slow
so i suppose you have defines a cachesize much larger than you actual memeory and are
swapping
acedb should not swap
please check wspec/cachesize.wrm , the size declared should be a good
proportion of your real ram
other explanation, as proposed by richard, your database disk is not locally mounted
please what is you architecture, and your disk drive
