I think the reason it takes me a long time to pack things is because my packing program goes something more like this:
10 pick_up(item) 11 ans eq ' ' 20 print, 'do I need this stuff?' 21 read, ans 30 if ans eq 'no' then freecycle,item,resultf 31 if resultf='fail' then oxfam,item 32 endif 40 endif else box(item) 50 endelse 60 goto 10
except with steps to ask on LJ whether anybody wants it and see if it is a computer and then give it to Reboot or if it is a broken electrical object and then bribe somebody to take it to Milton HWRC. Some of which will of course fail due to unreliability of people who say they will do or take away things and my own inability to collate things that need to go to the tip in time.
(that was an ugly mixture of IDL and random not-quite-fortran, and would probably fail to compile anyway, sorry) anyway that is very processor efficient especially when car eq 'n'.
