Hi,
Passed thinking.
If you are talking about this site:
http://www.dataprotection.gov.uk/ seeems OK to me.
If you are talking about this (which is usually linked to from above):
http://wood.ccta.gov.uk/dpr/
then it runs Lotus Notes (don't know the platform). Notes is well known for
requiring loads of high speed/quantity hardware if it is to function at any
acceptable rate. All I can say is the unerlying hardware cannot make it.
Notes generates a lot of the information (including graphics etc) on the fly.
Hence the need for fast machines and so on...
Regards
Charles
