Under the Options > Preferences... window, there is an option to set the number of iterations between results file outputs. I assume this does exactly what it says on the tin: it prints out the entire results.txt file every X iterations. It's set to 999999999 by default, which means it's effectively disabled. But is there any point to having this feature at all?
