When I say it bogs down the PC, it *REALLY* bogs it down.  Far worse
than when an app went mad with the swap space.

If I don't CTRL ALT BACKSPACE fast, that's it, I won't be able to do
anything with the keyboard, and hardly anything with the mouse, I'll
have to hit the hardware reset button.  It rapid-fire tries to reload
an unplayable file, in an infinite loop, and everything suffers.
