Ah, thanks Yury! That also means that having the main loop fire every
500ms (it was just a test for the console app), my timer cannot fire
it's events in less than 500ms (eg: timer.Interval := 200).
while True do
begin
if FileExists('killme') then
break;
Sleep(500);
CheckSynchronize;
writeln('event loop');
end;
As a test, I set the main loop's Sleep() to 10ms and the app didn't
even register in 'top' for CPU usage, so I guess it's ok to set
sleep() with such a small time?
Not that I intend to use the Timer interval for <500ms though.
I'll read up no CheckSyncronize to get a better understanding of this...
