xfishtank and Jim's 486

["C. Oda" <craig@example.com>]

It just dawned on me that Jim's problem might not be the colormap,
but rather the processor load or RAM allocation.  In addition 
to limiting the color cells with -C num  you can also limit
the amount of fish with -f num, the number of bubbles with -b num,
the move interval with -i num (default 0.2), and the move frequency
with -r num (default 0.2).

When I had my 486 33mhz I would have a low amount of fish and limit
the colors to about 12.  I have four colors on my background now
and the rest of my applications seem to be unaffected.

Anyone heard from Steve Turnbull?

Regards,
Craig
