Anything from 3 to 10 candidates. Doesn't seem to make a lot of
difference.
I must admit that Quackle did appear to sim faster when I first started
using it, and now it's just slowed down. Anything to do with temporary
files not being cleared or deleted?
Even closing down Quackle and restarting it doesn't seem to make it sim
faster - I had hoped any temporary files might have been cleared at
closedown, but it doesn't seem so.
