- And why don't you just shut the hell up, a lot of people would be grate
- full about that. Idiot, who said anything about the networkd decoding
- pictures? I wrote:

- Let me try again and hopefully it gets through to you:
-
- When the datatypes starts to decode a lof of images at the same time the
- machine becomes so slow that it's difficult to stop the transfers that
- are going on. And that *is* the fault of Aweb, you should be able to set
- priorities for image decoding and transfer tasks, and you should also be
- able to specify the max number of pictures you want to have decoding at
- one time, not just the number of transfers.

- Who cares what the forms are made with, it's still a pity you can't paste
- to them.
