I don't suspect it to be the bottleneck - it's a dedicated separate HP J7000
running UW.    This is IMP 2.3 as opposed to 2.2, not sure how that effects
comparisons on how people are managing with their machine performance.
The load on the machine at full out is roughly half and half, user and kernel.
