AFAIK the "old" profiler is a statistic profiler, i.e.: at certain points in time it looks which function is running. Every time you run a profile, this can be different functions. If you want a more precise profile, just let it run for a longer amount of time (i.e.: send more than one file, or send a larger file). Erik -- Erik Mouw J.A.K.Mouw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx mouw@xxxxxxxxxxxx
