MV lets you control the operations that are scanned. I usually disable "scan on load/read" and just enable "scan on write". It's no where near as secure but it's definately a whole lot faster. traff - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
