The rate of N-body evolution is considered in terms of the dynamics of two-body tidal dissipation, and compared with previously determined binary formation rates involving the tidal capture of unbound stars and nondissipative three-body gravitational encounters. It is noted that energy dissipation due to two-body processes may accelerate the rate of core collapse above that which would be expected from stellar evaporation alone. In other words, a high density singular state is achieved before all the stars have evaporated. Attention is given to the hardening of highly eccentric soft binaries by tidal dissipation during periastron passage, and the subsequent formation of super-massive objects.
