Correct. But if the program can't keep up with the data flow as one instance, 
and you spawn another process and it cannot keep up either, eventually you 
will have hundreds of processes and win95 will slow down to the speed of a 
ZX80 from task swapping. The moral is: i believe Eu will be fast enough, 
unless you are doing signal extraction from real time video or audio?... in 
which case i suggest throwing hardware at the problem (you can buy an 
aweful lot of LM567 or 566 PLL's for the price of a new puter, and the 
hardware will be faster.).
