I'll misinterpreted your original question and the method I suggested there
is not applicable.

To better understand your situation, few questions:
- what you described above; it does work for you in technical sense?
- if so, then the problem is with the execution performance?
- what are your current timings?
- how much you'll need to enhance them?

eat
