i'd prefer that, too. but what i meant was i'd like my program to not
glitch in sound as long as i was still able to use *it*. if i can't
browse the web at the same time, oh well. this is assuming the program is
temporarily hogging the cpu, and it will quit hogging soon enough on its
own (ican't think of any examples on my own, but maybe i can write a test
for it somehow).
