Well, my 68030 Amiga with memory resident C Compilers was getting so
fast at compiling C code, I didn't have time to do anything while I ran
the compiler.  Not necessarily something everyone's going to mind, I'm
sure, but I just program for fun, and really like to think I can go get 
a beer without wasting any useful time.  For the moment, I've solved this
problem by switching to the C++ compiler, which should last me until a
faster C++ comes out, or the 68040...
