This would be expected.  After the CW message is initiated, the 
program logs the contact - which will involve lots of hard drive
activity.  However, with SMARTDRV running - this shouldn't be very 
long.  I don't think there could be any database activity at this
point.  1MB isn't that big - my file here is 5MB.

I am not sure what the C+ option does.  When I run smartdrv, I 
just execute a command like this:

smartdrv 14000   

The 14000 sets aside 14 meg.  Any number higher than that seems to result
in strange behavior and program crashes.
