Well you can do an assign obj to this :). make a spec proc for herb that 
when eatem will cure you then assign this to an obj same with pill.

As for eating without seeing, i usually don't look at my fork when i am 
eating it knows where to go, but a good idea might be a chance to eat the 
wrong one :P <I wouldn't know which fork i picked up :)>

I am puzzled by the lag behavior of muds.
They run and then lag (sometimes badly),
the telnet connections to them time out but
the host they are on replies to ping immediately
without errors.

May this be caused by priority aging (specifically
I think about Sun's), as MUD's usually run on user
level, not as normal daemons which run in su mode.

Is there any tuning one can do to the source to
reduce lag? Of course optimize code, but how?
One can optimize s.t. pageing is minnimized
(link with the info from the profiler: gmon.out)
Best tuning: nice --10 ;)

Of course the biggest foe for muds is WWW as it sucks
up all of the bandwidth of the internet with its pictures
and ad's.

Another possibility would be to put parts of the MUD
in special threads, but its impossible whith this
shared buffer design of circle. Circle is virtually
free of reentrant code.

Cat.
