[drats_users] Processor intensive?

[Arnold Harding]

Dan,
Here is what I sent before.
I have a good internet connection.  It's not the internet connection 
that drops, but something with either the ratflector or D-RATS in this 
mode.  When I try to send something, then it re-connects and the 
processor usage goes back down.
Arnold
