Hi Alain,

I had a short look at it and I somewhat disliked the fact that it makes
use of a temp file. Even though this looks absolutely arguable for your
enhancement, we usually avoid temporary files:

Submitting patches to the tracker and ringing the bells on np-devel if
nothing happens is the right approach.

Detecting a CPU hog would be a nice thing, though. Other opinions?
