Time to copy records

I doubt that we have enough information to answer your question. Long running operations are typically "bound" by one of three factors: CPU speed, memory, or disk i/o. An operation that's CPU bound won't be significantly speeded up by adding more memory. You have to address the factor that's causing the bottleneck.
In your case it's a good bet that your operation is i/o bound. That's just a guess, but if it's true I would expect the copy to take about the same time on the faster computer.

thanks for that.
the details i gave were just very skimpy.
i really want to know the maths involved/the method for working something similar out.
also the term copy was wrong we were builing context search indexes. like i say it was just for the mathematical method involved.
Many Thanks.
Thiko!
