You're bringing back memories Steve ... stop .... oh god please stop!! ;)
You aren't wrong in the least and are spot on. I forget where the
threshold was but really, for me, anything over something like 6000 objects
was completely intolerable.
I mean, for those youngin's who might read this in the future ... 6000
objects on 10k or even 15k spinning rust takes a bloody long time!
Thanks,
