What makes you think there was any 'shit' involved? Just because you 
use computers for playing games doesn't mean that other people don't 
have real, paying work to do. Kat isn't storing and processing all that 
data for fun - someone is paying for it, I'll bet. 

Unfortunately, I think the  task is beyond the capabilities of a pc,
which is, after all, still a toy. She really needs either a cluster of 
pcs, or mainframe time, but maybe Kat hasn't been able to convince 
her client to pay for all that. 

Of course, I could be wrong. Perhaps all this data gathering is just 
step 1 in Kat's plan for world domination.
