  13. I don't know if our experience echoes other institutions' experience but I
  14. thought I'd let people know.  We have a test database of 200,000 records.
  15. It took an hour to run LSC994 against that database.  Since we are going live
  16. with 5.1 on January 8th, I decided to run LSC994 against a copy of our
  17. production bib file to make sure we don't run into any problem records.  Our
  18. production database is 1.7 million records.  That took 9 hours.  Seems rather
  19. extreme when all it's doing is converting $6 to $8.  Really puts a crimp in
  20. our cross-over schedule.
