Subject: Slowness accessing Global Addressbook in PCPine

From: Paul Kattnig <[email-masked]>

We are using PCPINE (16-bit winsock version 3.95 & we've tried 3.96) on
PC's running Dos 6.x and Windows 3.11.  Currently, we are trying to 
run the program from a VINES server on a network mounted drive and
we do at this time have full write access to that directory.

When we access our global addressbook file it will load, but it's
R E A L  S L O W to react to keyboard commands once it has expanded.

When the file is small it works okay, but when it's expanded to our
complete global address book with about 4,500 entries, it takes
a windows machine logged in and running about 80 to 90 seconds to
respond to one keystroke in the, "AddressBook" screen.

Are there any ways to speed this situation up?  (We are migrating
from VINES mail off of a Vines network that has a streettalk
database and its mail listing or global addressbook, comes up in
a flash and responds quickly.  We are wanting to address this problem
in order to stave down the phone calls that we're having nightmares
about receiving from the people we support as they call and
compare PCPine to Vines Mail)

Thanks for any help!!
