Intotal, our 10 or so databases are about 3.5 megs, so it seems WC shouldhave plenty of RAM. The speed problem is real with 2.1b3 in ourconfiguration, and is not a problem with 2.01. The problem may not bereadily apparent unless the server is getting hit. One or two usersdon't seem to cause the problem. But if you get up to 10-15simultaneous connections, the Gateway timeout errors start to happen. If you watch the W* status window, W* seems to serve files veryhaltingly.

Apparently WebCat does not create modal dialogs ...It would be great if WebCat would do something other than display thisdialog so it does not bring us down. Apparently Grant has fixed thiswith 2.1b3 but for us, anyway, using the CGI, 2.1b3 is not useable.
