Hmmm.. Dunno maybe "forgetfulnes" carries some related advantage - otherwise we would propably all hawe photographic memory.

In any case a ghost could maybe make a "tweaked" copy and leave the original running just in case (prowide he/she/it had the hardware available) -> ghost reproduction..But it might not be that simple if the ghost are made by "brute" copying from human brains the'res no guarantee that they hawe any more understanding about their "code" than humans hawe of they's..

But I got to agree with Kitsune that a ghost would propably not hesitate to try tweaking himself by turning on and off some better understood parts of the program like simulated adrenaline etc..

But how about if that hardware was not so good and the ghosts were just a litlle bit slower than humans - or at elast some poorer ghosts that can't afford to buy the best hardware?? (Aghost migh install it's tweaked "offspring" to a slower hardware etc..) Then they might start turning of some "unneeded functions" just to keep up..
