Tossing mail and linking message areas are background tasks. When mbse was first
developed the hardware was not fast enough to run these programs at full speed.
The mailer could give CRC errors and the bbs seemed to stop now and then.
To overcome this problem all programs started with the -quiet switch (background
jobs) are stopping for short periods so that they would use less system
resources. Systems with SCSI disks or other fast and well designed machines
don't have a need for that slowdown. In mbsetup menu 1.5.17 is the setting for the
speed of all utility programs, the default is slow. You might try this set to
fast and see what happens on your system.
