Ah, but that's the point.  This started with your assertion that you
saw 4400 cps throughput with a fully-compressed file.  I have no
doubt you saw 4400cps throughput.  I have never disputed that.  But
it wasn't a "fully compressed file", and _that_ is the point.
If you think it _isn't_ the point, I have seen throughput _much_
higher than that with 28.8 (in excess of 7000 cps) but that wasn't
with a compressed file.

If that's all you said I wouldn't have had a problem with it, or even
commented at all.
TTFN. Rick.
