I'm still trying to solve this problem, I've been testing some different usleep times in different int calls, and the best I could achieve was 75% of CPU usage when idle, 1% when busy, with a very slow responsiveness, but usable, up to 3 users. Vanilla dosemu eats 98% CPU, 1-2% when idle, and has an excellent responsiveness when there is only 1 user. And its still usable with 2 users, if there is a third it becomes unresponsive. > In other section I have strictly different problem.

I have to fix this so my users don't kill me. But you are encouraged to donate money to the dosemu project. -- Saludos /\/\ /\ >< `/
