I changed the main code as described in the article but the 
effect seems to be the same as just using the link options. Is 
there anything obviously wrong with the variable declarations in 
the code sample? It looks like having a console output window in 
addition to just the GUI is having some sort of effect on 
threading, sharing or timing.
