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).
