You are "sharing" the server with hundreds of other folks who will not like it if their pages are slow or can't be reached. I also know that TCH will shut down accounts that hog the CPU. So I would suggest you be careful and be a nice neighbor so we don't have to complain about a slowdown.<!--content-->

Thanks Bruce. What is considered excessive for CPU/memory?<br /><br />These manipulate images up to 1280x1024 ([edit: reduced to 512x512 until I put throttling in]) and can make several passes. The longest it runs is a few seconds, (7 at most) but during that time it's doing nothing but math.<!--content-->
