People,

You are all thinking like programmers.  The average user (even an OS/2
user) doesn't know the standard OS/2 guidelines.  Therefore, when they
see the statement:

>>    "...and add multithreading wherever things take more than 0.1 s to
>>complete..."

it will sound like:

>>that whenever things are going too slow, just throw threads at it and, hence,
>>shorten the time it takes for the task to complete.

OS/2 programmers will understand:

>No, it's a reference that, whenever things take too long in the input
>queue, you're supposed to throw a thread at it so that the user
>interface comes back in a responsive manner.

Remember, the average user doesn't know what happens internally, they
just want things to work.
Regarding the statement:

>Standard OS/2 guideline.  PMMail and PMINews don't always follow the
>guideline.

Many other programs also don't follow the guidelines.
