Is write access needed to log in? What I'd like is to stall the write
access. The reads need only to be stopped during the "load" phase which
should only take a minuscle amount of time. 

Is writing to the database needed to logon etc?

Or perhaps you could queue up the write accesses and not do the acutal
updates until the stall has been released so the writes affect the loaded
data and not the get overwritten.

Not even close to what I am - the users were getting restless (recompile
times went from 15 to 4 minutes).
