Tomasz,
I know amiquote page.
The main subject was the splits trouble and was posted to this list.
It would not make sense to send my replies to amiquote page !!
As for the slow down by 5 or more, perhaps it would be better than
the horrible mess of unadjusted YHOO data, which makes amiquote
practically useless for the new downloaders.
On the other side, we all know that you will find the way to speed up
this [or another] procedure, when you will find the time of course.
Unfortunately I am not a software engineer, I studied relativity when
it was the proper time, else I would do it myself.
