[plt-scheme] Re: Any tips for avoiding intermittent freezing when navigating file system directories with mounted network volumes in DrScheme?

This is the lab with one central computer and all of the students
running DrScheme on it, right? Adding a teachpack can be a
computationally intensive task (since it compiles the teachpack) so it
may be that these freezes you're seeing are just the result of
thrashing.
