| On a fast machine, it's impossible to type fast enough to make the
| machine notice (a fast typist types at 100 WPM, which is less than 9
| characters per second).  Even ten context switches per keystroke is only
| 90 per second, which isn't hard to maintain.

  But what happens if you have ten, twenty or thirty people operating in
that mode.  Say, for instance, you're using a nice fast central machine
like a Mips 6280 and your users have X terminals ...  I think it could
get pretty vicious ...
