Hi Jim,

Nope, TotalCommander and all operations were done on the same
SQL/Processing machine accessing files across the network on our
fileserver.

This morning, I created a temprds folder on the fileserver and moved
the needed files to it, then changed the prefs to use that folder for
rowork.  Ran in under two minutes.

When I came on to check my mail I was already copying the files from
the fileserver to my local workstation to test things out locally and
see where the bottleneck might be.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll be back and probably post the
relevant code if I can't find an answer.
