Windows in it's various incarnations starting with 3.0 incorporated a "Yield"
event which allowed a programmer to yield a long running task to the operating
system so that the Os could allow other tasks to run. It did not take a rocket
scientist to build apps which did not hog the CPU (as TS/SC does when loading)
nor did it take a rocket scientist to simulate threading which allowed related
tasks to proceed. Later versions of Windows have facilitated the building of
truly threaded apps. Omega programs have been generally ill-behaved and in the
social world would be considered selfish. Perhaps they will properly thread
operations in TS5. In any event, more memory should reduce load time,
alternatively a faster processor.
