We detail the early operating experiences with the new Mark 4 Correlator at the Washington VLBI Correlator Facility. The emphasis is on the progress of operational efficiency since that area is of concern to the IVS members because of the resulting changes to the observational schedule. During the startup phase, NEOS Intensives were processed with an efficiency matching the previous experience with the Mark IIIA correlator; but the 6-station, 24 hour NEOS experiments took almost three times as long. Later improvements cut the time required for NEOS processing with the Mark 4, but still have not equalled the mature Mark lIlA. A short analysis of the reasons for this, and some suggested improvements are offered.
