I need to try various nice values and pay more attention, but I could "feel" it's presence when it's running at nice=1. It's all numerical computation and soaks up lots of CPU. Memory isn't a problem for me (I have 256MB). It doesn't display anthing, just a stream of progress prints to stdout that you can /dev/null. ...RickM...
