FYI:  We did two or three rounds of profiling on the code in order
to make it somewhat CPU efficient.  At the end of the INSTALL file
there are instructions for profiling and instructions for how to
check for memory leaks.  For developers.

We used to have someone checking in periodically to tell us how
Xastir would still run on his 486 machine...
