There is storage management issue because there's all that string pasting and there's no issue of adding and deleting data like would happen in a real bogo-corporation as I described. I wasn't able to compile the program because the Delerium file was missing (I did find the .ads file which was also needed).

Even on a netbook 800KB/s sounds awfully slow for a program like that. So I have to wonder what it's up to.
