Now I understand that restoring log files can be slow but this is a big
machine.

32Gig of Ram
28 Disks (two volumes each raid 10)
Using two different table spaces (over each volume)
8 Opterons.

The machine has a production configuration that can doing several
hundred thousand transactions an hour without so much as having to
stretch first. It seems to me that this machine should be *cranking*
through these transactions. Am I just being my usual uptight, impatient
self?

Sincerely,
