Works fine, Leif.  My model 270 with zero CPW supports as many sessions as I
want, as long as no two are doing CPU intensive tasks.  However, run a
compile in one session and an interactive SQL in the other, and you'll bring
the machine nearly to a halt.

There are anomalies.  Stepping through a program using the debugger often
causes CFINT to kick in.  But in general, it's fine for a single user.
