Jason -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Hughes [mailto:kh@wg.icl.co.uk] I have noticed that my mill bound job is "throttled" when I use the "Unix" timers. If I run the job without ever setting up a timer then I get 100% of the mill. If I set a periodic timer - using the setitimer function then I only get 50% of the CPU - the rest appears to be lost. By lost I mean I don't get it nor does the system idle task. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
