I hear ya Patrick, the only reason it is bout 20 secs is because I
cannot just flush the cache in this bs zoom router...I have to reboot it
in the code...if I had a router that I could flush the cache I could do
it in about 5-6 secs which is much better but, hey, I don't really need
it, I don't have bunches goin on and I just do it to do it.
