odd slow-down for PC save stack

[Phil Jimmieson]

Hi folks,
I've got a project that saves user preferences and textual details of 
the usage of the application into a mainstack and substacks separate 
from the main application stack.  The main application stack and the 
user data stacks were developed on a Mac (using Rev 2.1.2 and 2.2). 
This system works fine on a Mac (and is almost instantaneous), but 
when I try it on a PC, the save (which occurs each time there's a 
piece of data generated by the application) seems to take an age (so 
long, that at first I thought the program had hung). Of course, this 
means that the application runs *very* *slowly* on a PC. If i run the 
application without saving any data, it runs at a reasonable speed. 
Can anyone think of a reason this slow down might be happening, and a 
way around it?
