I'm not sure if this thread is a statistically relevant measurement. If the main reason why the workaround with the additional machine is problematic is hardware and electricity cost, and there are 'lots of people' that care deeply about this, and each of them would save, say, $500 if the feature were implemented, it shouldn't be hard to collect $20k (two man-months, a reasonable estimate, I'd say) and send that to Theo with the request for implementation during a hackathon. Or, to turn the argument around, if the entire support for the feature is five people offering lollipops and eternal gratitute, developer time is probably better spent elsewhere. By all means, try it. There are more readers (and developers) on the misc@ and tech@ lists, so I'd start there. Daniel
