Incidentally, let me add that I could be big-time wrong about this. "Expect"
was probably too strong a word - "currently visualize" might be closer to it.
I find that the better I understand AI the fewer resources I visualize using,
but for all I know that curve will start heading upwards again thirty seconds
after the project actually initiates.
