Ok, hoyt...
clearly either you got up on the wrong side of the keyboard, or you're
just normally a smart ass with few people skills. actually, since i've
been a long time subscriber to this list the MAIL LIST ARCHIVES was the
first place i looked. whereupon, finding NO information there OR on my
system i turned here! and YES, it DOES use that much of the resources. the
measurement i provided is mild as to it's usual operating status on the
system its usually much worse. ergo the crippling of the system.
so, do us all a favor and GET a personallity before answering any more
postings, will ya?
asshole!
