Okee dokee, well then, I wonder what else is so different. As far as 
plug ins, I have the defaults there, which I don't think I ever use, 
and I have Chipp's altPlugin bar, with about a half dozen of his plugs 
"active."

My program makes extensive use of VideoGrabber, Sockets, LibURL, and 
has roughly 120 controls and 4000+ lines of code in the one main card 
(and its control objects.) It also uses a slew of resource substacks, 
and dynamically generates stacks, cards, and text files. It parses 
incoming socket messages about 4-10 times a second, and updates the 
status of most of its controls based on the results of that data in 
addition to creating stacks and cards to store the data, while 
simultaneously doing FTP uploads and downloads. No menus.  ;-)

Would you say that is more, or less, demanding than what you have going 
on?

I'm just trying to get a sense of what is considered to be complex or 
demanding. Maybe I just assumed mine was, while it actually isn't.

Or, perhaps we are just tapping into completely different areas of Rev 
and I've been lucky not to hit on crashing things?
