My bad, & I apologise for not being clear - thoughtless of me. BTW, your 
English is considerably better than any other language I can manage to 
order a beer in... :-)

What I used was a colloquilism. I meant to describe what, in a motor 
vehicle, might be termed a shortage of "oomph" or "grunt", e.g. a slow & 
under-powered, or "gutless" vehicle.

In a computer, this would equate to a lack of resources such as CPU 
power, limited memory, slow disks etc. etc.  My print/fax server takes a 
very long time to build Hylafax, Ghostscript and other packages, for 
example - so I usually don't do that there...

Ah, OK. I'm on my own again :)
