Dude, something else is wrong. Unsorted lookup through the whole database with the default palm app took me ~30s on my Visor Platinum. I now use superFinderHack on a Treo 180 and it takes under 10s. More importantly, however, once I stopped adding new words every day I re-sorted by word and used the lookup thingy at the bottom, which is essentially instantaneous. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
