Hi Tom My comment about no-one seeming to be interested wasn't meant to be taking a swipe at anyone, I was just surprised that I had received no response at all. I'm not expecting an immediate investigation, but normally if you get no response, it means your question is too dumb or no-one is interested. I really just wanted to find out whether it's a known problem, and if not, to make it known.
My standard answer to "Sooner, if you help out", is that I simply don't have the time to get that involved in another project when I already have such tight deadlines. I have to break up my message into chunks anyway because of the lack of support for streaming, so it is not really a problem for me personally. As it turns out, the Eric's problem may be something else again. He was talking about times of over 15 minutes with an 800K message, but my test showed a complete turnaround time of 20.7 seconds with a single message of about 800K.
