Not quite the same thing, but Vax 11/780 at college with 40+ students all trying to login with custom LOGIN.COM scripts at the same time = several minutes of wait time for the command prompt. Me, I spent an afternoon reading the system call documentation and rewrote my login script in assembler, including a 1 of 100 screen name picker. (Paranoia name format for max geekiness.)
