sometime back I read it that if some commands are given in :extra initialisation commands: option it will work faster, but I do not remember what to give.

Also in one of the forums after seeing some juiceboosted etc broadband internet post I applied for that is that causing the problem, they told they will give the software on 1st october now I am not able to go to that site!!!!!!!
