Well I pulled those figures out of my backside, I haven't actually
looked that hard, but most users seem to be able to build it on their
laptops (it takes a long time granted) but I doubt that many are that
powerful.

Still it's all 'moot' (American version) as we have no snippet log to
look at. It could be a memory leak - I see for instance all those old
messages show up with Mike's woodwind fingering charts. So whatever
they are using is not that current.
