What kind of time does it take to upgrade to a newer version of Optigold
with such a customer base?

We have ~9000 accounts in the package. Data files, thanks to numbers of
customers and thirteen months of time usage, tech logs, invoices and
payments, have grown to about a hundred megabytes.

The last upgrade, using the quick style, took nearly five hours. This was
on a NT4.0 box, service packed, P166, 128MB, plenty of disk space and
running nothing else. Didn't take too much babysitting, but I am thinking
about twelve months from now...double the data acquired from existing
customers as well as double the number of customers (many new POPs)
Fifteen hour upgrades?

This normal? I do recall a comment last year that you moved data files
from the server to a G3 just for the upgrade. Is throwing more hardware
at the problem the solution?
