2.2.1 on my Linux install, 2.2.3 (I think) in Windows.  No noticeable 
difference between the two.

Um, no, I can't.  I don't have that kind of expertise.  I apologize for the 
misunderstanding on the issues for the reports though.  I don't recall

of XML->slow reports, something along the lines of having to parse the entire 
file when it searches?
