< Why can't the user just enter the data onto your web-page and let your server send the results back? > I told you, the band with problem is the bottleneck. Now the calculations are done realtime, the delay and design of an HMTL interface (with over 400 interconnected inputs) would be a hassle for the end user who would not be able to have access to the custom the data API, and would have to wait for each and every one of several thousand calculations to individually bounce back adn forth from teh server. People would much rather have one 6mb download (less than 1 minute on a corporate T1 - which is where the audience would be) than play the waiting game every time a parameter is changed. That would be quasi-realtime, if anything. If thier is no problem, there is no need to seek a solution.
