 * Removes the six-second delay before processing a replication file.
 * Corrects a problem with the Replicate flag being set regardless of whether the record has been touched. This results in large replication files being generated all the time when they are not needed and flooding the central site.
 * Corrects a problem with the "dirty" bit unnecessarily being set on summary records, resulting in SQL/disk "churn" during normal operations.
