Hello Per (perjac@inet.uni-c.dk),

In "comp.sys.amiga.networking" you wrote about "Re: Announce: AWeb 1.0 released!"...

I agree. The solution is to run Executive. It works brilliantly with AWeb.
When I was doing some testing I removed Executive and found out what you mean,
AWeb does really tie up the whole system when busy decoding images.

If you do not already know, Executive is a dynamic task scheduler, and
performs brilliantly with cpu loads such as this. It does not slow down AWeb
but allows you to carry on doing whatever you want without sluggish response
from input.device etc. In general in makes heavy internet sessions so much
smoother, being able to quickly switch screens and do things while the cpu is
very busy.

Probably the best 10UKP I have ever spent :)

Shaun.
