Re: Clipper use 100% off CPU => me too

The same thing happens to my application, only that I get around 50% cpu 
usage. Here I have access to the wait loop: I check Keyboard (bios 
call), mouse, timers, event-queue and start again. What should I do to 
stop using so much cpu?

I have noticed that, just as it happens with Clipper, this usage is only 
idle time and that it falls as soon as someone start using cpu...

I have $_hogthreshold = (1), Mandrake linux 10.0, Dosemu 1.2.1.0 and 
FreeDOS 2035 (tom).
