im making a bot in mirc and i need the bot to connect to a lot more than 180 channels. only problem is once it gets to about 180 mirc becomes unresponsive as well as making my computer unresponsive.

i have tried another irc client(very similar to mirc) that allowed me to connect to over 1000 channels without any problems at all(even with chat logging turned on), however this particular client doesnt support any form of scripting yet(or i haven't figured it out yet).

computer specs are:
amd turion 64 x2 1.6ghz
2GB ddr2 667 ram

so my question is, does anyone know of a way to make mirc connect to more channels?
