I had used Performance Monitor to view the proc usage during the parsing routine. Like I posted earlier, the results varied. One test, the first proc ran at 60% util and the second at 40%, while another test (on the same data) the first proc ran at 80% util and the second at 20%. As for the processors themselves, they are identical.

etaerine, I will try your suggestion about duplicating the page and data. I'll post the results once I've had a chance to test.

uugghhhh.....Monday morning. Need coffee...
