Strange, our Cray machine here on base is running a UNIX, and often has
two hundred people or more on it.  On the other hand, my PDP-11 at home
is running UNIX and has a hard time keeping up with two users in vi.  It
has something to do with the available I/O bandwidth, as well as the CPU
power, don't you think?
