Mmmmmm... I don't know... I've never asked to be honest. But a 9,000
customer upgrade definately should NOT take 5 hours. Not even close.
I just did an upgrade that was a set of data that was about 18,000
customers, 100,000+invoices, 100,000+ payments, etc. the whole set of
data was about 170 megs and it took about 30-40 mintues.
That was on a G3 333, which is definately a faster machine than a P166,
but I very much doubt it's 10 TIMES faster. You are doing the upgrade on
the machine the data files are on, right?
