Good question.. John, do you have an answer? On a similiar note (no pun intended), I'm actually quite impressed at how efficient John's program is.. He's really quite a hand at Perl.. Perl programs are notoriously CPU hungry.. John's program runs really tight.. That machine also serves up about 10 moderate traffic websites, runs lpd for a couple printers, and has the Thunderstone seach engine periodically cranking away.. I never even notice John's program running away in the background.. Of course having dual CPU's on there and alot of RAM helps :-)
