This troll was clearly compiled with inferior tools. My guess
is that you used Visual Troll++, or possibly TurboTroll 2000.
These first generation tools are quite limited, and there is
a severe garbage-collection-related performance hit when you
try optimizing the output of VT++ for flaming or insults.
I suggest that you try the latest version of GTC; the Gnu Troller
Collection. It is *the* standard when it comes to creating Trolls.
It is also Open Source, reentrant, and is fully compliant with the
Triple Troll, Troll-On-Troll and TrollChow protocols.
