OK, 29K resources in 1 day. That means it will take a little over 202
years for your program to reach the maximum size of a signed 32 bit integer.

Now - do you really think your program will be running in 200 years?
And if it is, do you really think it will be running on a 32 bit platform?

There are much more important things to worry about in your scripts.
