Thanks for the replies

I tried a modified version:

main()
{
        while(1)
        {
        /* Poll render queue file */
        /* _curr = brqe(); */
        printf("%u\n",_curr);
        sleep (15);
        }
}

that still measured 100% CPU on the NT (with the Task Manager)
are there options I could pass to gcc? (maybe it's because some
debugging stuff is going on?) or could it be the while?
CPU time is very important for what I'm doing or else I would let
it spin out

I am just confused because the same code works great on my SGI.

still trying...
