Hi there,

I'm completely new to (Bio-)Python, but so far I think it is great.

I tried the PubMed example in the Cookbook, but it is very (!!!) slow. Is there
a faster way than retrieving every single record by id? Can I send a search
command that just returns all records at once and I can parse them locally?

Thanks,

NIC
