I don't like running requester patches: I used to run Reqattack until I realised
it both throws up a predictable enforcer hit on startup, and one for every
requester it generates - plus under extreme load (like compiling something)
of a requester wants to appear it LOCKS my machine for the best part of a
second.

I don't know if it's a symptom of the patch or the fact that there's a Polish
guy doing the coding now, but either way I don't like it and refuse to run
it until it's fixed ;)
