GRMS Slowness

I said at yesterday's meeting that I would get back to you concerning the
speed issues of the V@R calculations - here's the response...

I spoke with Steve Stock, the Director of RAC systems. He agreed that there
are performance problems and this is being addressed in a technology review
being conducted by my application architecture group. There are plans to
re-architect the application so it can handle real time calculations. Once
the results of the review are known - I will be more than happy to share them
with you. The V@R process currently takes 11 hours from start to finish. We
also find this unacceptable!

Also, the front end is very slow in accessing data. There is a new front end
in development that will address these problems.

I'll keep you posted as new developments occur.
