Two things here. First, the optimum setup for occasional ppp links. ( I
find that option 6=1 doesn't slow even ncurses stuff down noticeably and
gives much faster performance. Second, syslogd on my system has been
going crazy since I started running this thing. I am wondering why? A ps
-ax output appears after the config info below.
On advice from (I think) the original RC5 mentioner, I have used the
following settings:
CLIENT CONFIG MENU
------------------
1) Email to report as [default:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) Blocks to Buffer [default:5] ==> 100
3) Blocks to complete in run [default:0] ==> 0
4) Hours to complete in a run [default:0] ==> 0
5) Keys per timeslice - for Macs etc [default:65536] ==> 65536
6) Level of niceness to run at [default:0] ==> 1
7) File to log to [default:] ==> ~/rm_log
8) Network communication mode [default:1] ==> 1
14) Optimize performance for CPU type [default:-1] ==> 0
0) Quit and Save
And here is what syslog has been doing:
94 ? R 1040:34 /sbin/syslogd
2396 2 R N 340:30 rc5v2
Note that rc5v2 has been restarted a couple times, so it isn't actually
that bad a ratio of cpu time, but syslogd is getting about 60% of the cpu,
according to top.

mind you don't break 'em. I won't eat a broken egg.
