    This isn't the first time i've noticed this, but 35 separate processes is ridiculous. I checked my cron jobs, and it isn't there, so I'm assuming it's in the runlevel-based code executing thing, and on sysv-style init I am completely lost, so i'd rather not mess with that (unless absolutely necessary).

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Hard to say (have you asked on the web site?), but my guess is that it is part of the configuration and they are using what can be called "coarse-grained multi-threading" where processes are used instead of threads, so it can handle up to 35 incoming streams at once. Again, this is just a guess, but experience tells me this is likely the case.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    See in the tree which is which, and which to what is attached.

    $ pstree -u dansguardian
