That slows things down enough to bust my scores above hers. Yes, but if you ran make and its children at priority 0, and tetris at priority 1 then tetris should show a minimal slowdown because it will always run when it is not sleeping. -- Andrew Heybey, ath@ptt.lcs.mit.edu, uunet!ptt.lcs.mit.edu!ath
