	You are not.

	That is the only way to get instantaneous connections. There are
several issues:

o  Hyper-threading -- fixed in IB 7, work around it in earlier versions
by disabling hyper-threading in the BIOS setup.
o  System restore -- useless, mostly; just turn it off.
o  Second and subsequent connections slow -- bug in IB 6 and earlier,
fixed in 7
o  Winsock 1 vs. winsock 2 -- I think the issue with Winsock 1 being
slow started in Server 2003, but I can't remember for sure. IB 7 uses
Winsock 2, with earlier versions the only workaround is to use an
earlier OS.

	So you can work around some of the issues, but not all of them.
