It would appear that this is strictly a CPU issue. I moved from a dual PII
333Mhz to a single Athlon 800 with 512MB of RAM and my new numbers are:

12 14 13 16 18 2003 6.9085
12 14 13 17 26 2003 6.6263

So I went from 16-17 seconds when opening an existing ticket with either a
dual PII 333Mhz or Alpha 600Mhz to 6-7 seconds on an Athlon 800. If I had a
really fast CPU I might be able to get this down to a second or less. What
kinds of numbers are others seeing for even higher speed processors? If I
can click a ticket and get it open in a second or less then I would be
happy.

Are there any options for getting rt3 to run faster on the dual CPU PII I
wonder? I still think that 16-17 seconds is a bit slow, even for that
machine.

(Just for fun, I tried this on a Pentium 200 with 192MB of RAM. It takes
about 90 seconds to open this ticket. Faster than I would have thought..)
