How many users have you managed to support with Classic? (How
much memory did you throw at it to manage it?)

The problem I was discussing is not the old SMP CPU thrashing
problem. The pausing issue is something quite different.
There is no "blocking", indeed activity on other connections
is desired because this wakes up the transfer process.
