[cobalt-developers] [cobalt-developers]MY Raq3 is Slower than Snot!

["CTO ImageSave" <cto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Harald for the reply !
I do consider this a development issue.  We have been trying for months to
get someone from Cobalt to speak with us.  @ any rate can someone tell me
what slows the unit down? I have 3 sites and its slow. Why?  Is there
anything that can be done - my Raq2 was better. I turned on the site-wide
settings for bandwidth (set it high) and this seemed to actually help it go
faster.  Any suggestions would be great.  To have a box on a switch next to
the web design / upload box and go as slow as the Raq3 sucks.

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the
big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out
- it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
