I prefer to make sure that all potential CPU cycles are at the  
ready for MY needs.     Besides, the cooler the pc runs (two  
laptops here) the better for me and the lifetimes of the CPUs  
and fans.

"TMUX".. "can detach".. etc lingo, that's a bit over my head at  
the moment.

Reminds me of the outrage that some people experienced when  
they learned that their pcs were automatically participating in  
bitcoin mining.  I don't remember the original story at this  
time.
