That a single strcat could slow down the system that much seems
unthinkable. Though multiple ones add up, it should take right around a
nothingith of a second to run. I'd guess that what ever program you use to
connect has some sort of buffering system which waits till an entire desc
is filled and nolonger recieveing before displaying, and you're just
hitting some macgical character limit. This of course, is a guess.
Try logging on 2 chars and seeing if the other is lagged
when the first is looking. I'd bet that he'd be okay.
