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.

I did.
