The IPT development team are pleased to invite you to participate in the testing of the re-engineered and simplified IPT. The revised IPT is the result of a re-engineering effort of the 1.0 version of the IPT, specifically to:   - Reduce the server requirements significantly (...) The result is an IPT that:

• is less than 12MB
• starts in only a few seconds
• supports fast import (1 million records in 15 seconds or so)

Tim, is this reduction of hardware requirements documented somewhere? What minimum hardware is required now? What hardware is needed for the fast start/fast import mentioned?

Thanks a lot
