I'm wondering if that time is spent mostly
in GEMS configuring itself for the download process or in actually downloading
data. Alot of time was spent with the "TSText tranfer" portion of the
load.
The
performance problems with download are well documented and will be
addressed some day.
Also, to configure the R6, at one point Rob
needed to access the R6 "desktop" by using a blank "word.doc" file,
changed the extention to "word.ins" file. When inserted into
the R6 the "word.ins" file popped up a window allowing access to the
desktop. It was good to know this option is still there at some level,
as we needed it to complete the install.
Since you
didn't mention it, I assume the reason for having to go to the desktop was to
configure the machine's IP address. This feature will be in 4.2.1.
The .ins bug will be fixed in that release as well.
At the application level (BS4.1.6) the
voter card portion of the BS does not handle Vgroup2. Tab is aware of
this and it is being fixed.
It is good
to know that Tab is still taking RCR requests by phone. It is a
convenient service I encourage everyone to use.
