Q 2.6 + | +The tosser and mbmsg programs are slow, why? | +
A 2.6 | ++Tossing mail and linking message areas are background tasks. When mbse was first +developed the hardware was not fast enough to run these programs at full speed. +The mailer could give CRC errors and the bbs seemed to stop now and then. +To overcome this problem all programs started with the -quiet switch (background +jobs) are stopping for short periods so that they would use less system +resources. Systems with SCSI disks or other fast and well designed machines +don't have a need for that slowdown. In mbsetup menu 1.5.17 is the setting for the +speed of all utility programs, the default is slow. You might try this set to +fast and see what happens on your system. + | +
