Also, does the "CACHE" option help? That is, when the cache data option is
used, doesn't that force a local copy in 10.x? Otherwise, isn't SPSS
constantly pulling data in chunks? Perhaps I misunderstood the process, but
I was led to believe that if you have drive space, always cache the data
with SPSS...
Not an expert, but full of opinions,
