[PCR-1000] Re: Just say NO to Radiocom

[Skip Flem]

Simple 4 channel scanning uses between 65 and 70%. (I exaggerated, previously).
  It knocks Seti@home down to 28%, with Task Manager using 2%.
  I did a screengrab, no doubt about the numbers. Seti@home almost always sits
at 98%, with taskmanager using the other 2%.
  Spectrum Analyze mode only uses 55%.
   Hmmm. Scanning rates are 100 msec.
There just seems to be an awful lot going on for the amount of work being 
done...
