Hi,

Just a guess really, I have had this kind of problem when my external  
commands (not being used in this test) had a memory leak and the  
performance went right down and RunRev acted in a similar way.

Not really sure if it is a leak, just seems like the most likely.  
It's interesting that it works on you setup though. What version of  
Mac OS are you using?

All the Best
