Comment (by FiReSTaRT):

 Jef, I'm open to suggestions on how to demonstrate the issues.. I could do
 a screenshot video of the process, but it would be too large to post over
 here. If you can e-mail me ftp server info or your msn or an e-mail
 account that would be ok for 10megs and change, I'd be more than happy to
 send you all of the relevant info.
 The bottom line is that commercial packages (well, at least ESRI) can
 perform the same functions on the same datasets in real time. If Open
 Source apps are ever going to become a viable alternative, they need to be
 able to handle 1-3MB shapefiles downloaded from government sites with
 reasonable speed.
 In any case, I truly appreciate your work gentlemen and will try to assist
 you to the best of my limited ability.
