You will notice that BACKGROUND tasks under multifinder go REAL SLOW when the BBS is running. This is to give the BBS as MUCH time as it can. When you log in locally, everything speeds up. If you select "Faster Background" from the "Sysop" pull down menu, the background sped will increase, but YOUR USERS that are ONLINE will start going a little bit slower ! That's the trade off. On faster systems, like a Mac II the users don't slow down much at all. You should only log on locally or select this feature if no one is on (depending on the computer you are running). TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU ARE DONE !
The system automaticly RESETS back to "slow background" after 30 minutes, or when a user logs in, incase you forgot to. You need to remember to turn it off.
If a user calls, it automaticly switches, so you may have to switch it back.
