How, about 2-10 records at a time.  The program is okay when one user is on 
the bbs, but when a second or third user is on the bbs then it is all hell 
tring to type something in the telnet client.  The keys seem like they stick.
(Wait a few seconds, before they get printted to the screen).

The ansi screens scrolls about 3 lines then pauses then scrolls two more then 
pauses then scrolls 5 more (not in that order, but in general it does that).
When two users are online.  It sucks and I am looking to resolve the issue of 
cpu usage then maybe speed up the program.
