Memory use

[Ben Wilhelm]

It also uses a metric ton of CPU power when it's under heavy load. I've 
had it saturate the entire CPU, and I think it stops transmitting data 
in those situations too. It's spending a lot of that in a giant 
linear-time search through a bunch of strings, and when I get some free 
time I'm going to try to speed that up to O(log n) or a hash table or 
something, and send the patch in if it seems stable and good.
