Hmmm, maybe use a Linux box instead...  A 16MB 486 should work much better,
This would also be a good heavy load test for the networking code :-).

BTW, I think it would be nice to make a separate patch relative to 1.2.8,
which consists of bug fixes only, no new features and no new bugs :-).
This would be really useful for people who are not brave enough to jump
to 1.3.x yet - and these patches should go into 1.2.9 (if, when).

What do you think about that?

Regards,
Marek
