I got this, with 79 other threads reported running at the same time: now/time - start == 0:00:39 I had a large ftp coming in, a mirc ( but not connected to irc ) open, 5 IE5 open, an Explorer open, email, the firewall, some ZIP drive utilities, sysmon, Rebol of course, and a few notepads open. Heh,, the way i use this puter, it's often a few seconds from the time i type something till i see it echo on the screen when i get busy. This is a K6-2-266 with 64meg of sdram running win95B.
