It might be helpful to familiarize yourself with the reading functions of your BBS so you can go to the beginning of the topic to find out exactly what was meant. Deon would be the first that you're "Well akshully"ing

*sigh*

It's not just CPU bound - if you don't think there's memory involved and drive activity due to logging (if nothing else) and network time (however small), then I don't see how you're 'acutely aware' of what's being said.

 fu> that connection per minute user. strive for excellence.

That might be an exercise you could tickle yourself with - find out how efficient BINKP or EMSI are? You could always rip apart Deon's code and tell him how few resources it should require on a 486.
