This is that fine piece of art of the M$ Win NT/2K/XP scheduler, that knows very little about fairness ... It's simply incredible. Lot's of years ago I was working on my main project ( CAD/rendering ) on a Pentium 166 MHz and when I ran a build with M$ VC++, I could not move even the mouse pointer. At the same time I was working on a HP/UX workstation with an HPPA 30MHz, and I was delighted from its capability to run multiple huge builds by maintaining a wonderfull responsiveness to the user. I was used to describe that feeling like "liquid UI". A lot of year passed but nothing seems changed ... Tech speaking XMail is exploding the mailing list. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
