Well, on my 1.25 GHz G4  I started it on Friday morning and now on  
Monday morning it is still running.  It is the kernel that is using  
75=85 % of CPU time according to top under a pre-release of Tiger.   
The front end had no chance yet to participate in any action.  It  
consumed about 70MB of memory in the last three days - but that can  
be  caused also by other programs I run leaking memory.
