Annoyingly its the slowest single core pile of rubbish in the office, Its
just got loads of Hard Disk space..... (1Gb of Memory, Duron 1200) but then
most of my machines are not much better, some are actually worse, I even
have one that running on hmm Pentium 3, 800MHz and that's my hmm remote
access machine.....)

 I was speculating at restarting with, --fast-read-xml and -wpd

But I think I might be better starting with a clean sheet of paper, I only
really wanted to know what I was up against.
