Subject: Re: Load time lags

Re: Load time lags

My thought on this one was if I'm at a club (I dj) and I want to throw
on a track quickly for filler and I'd like the song to come up as
quickly as possible. It would be sitting on a counter anyways...

But if there's a major heat issue, that's definately a problem.

Thanks,
Mike
