			^ boolean refreshAll: whether to refresh the tasks of the proc.


Preliminary reports show that make check times have decreased from
1m7.522s to 1m0.825s.

I also tested fstack and fcore and the results are:

fstack: down from 2.3314 to 2.2094.
fcore: up from 1.4858 to 2.0045. *

There were some weird issues with fcore as shown below by actual
numbers:

Old fstack: 2.225, 2,385, 2.184, 2,666, 2,194
New fstack: 2.305, 2.161, 2.263, 2.164, 2.154

Old fcore: 1.504, 1.389, 1.036, 1.935, 1.599, 1.440
New fcore: 1.327, 3.355*, 1.019, 4.353*, 0.996, 0.978

(So technically fcore would have been much faster but for the anomalies)

I was not running these tests in single user mode which would probably
explain the anomalies, so tomorrow morning I'm going to read up on
single user mode and try to post more accurate numbers.
