Users on one of my systems reports that when they download, they
can get no more than 1K/second. On investigation, the download
program spends all its time waiting on ttybf2 -- the one for
clists -- and sleeping a second between writes. I've also noticed
that when I'm telnetted in and displaying entire screensful,
there's a one second delay between pieces of the screen; this
appears to be a result of the same problem.

The question is: how do I up the number of clists available?
I've doubled INITIAL_CBLOCKS and that may be the answer (I won't
know until I get to reboot and see how the system behaves);
however, I'd like some input from people who actually know what's
going on down in ttwrite....
