Abstract
A network computer system and method are disclosed that provides access to a large number of concurrent clients without undesirable processor lag and delays. The system prepares client objects in advance of client access requests and can dynamically create new client objects over a distributed system when needed. Buffering is provided to avoid processor interrupts.
