It looks as if Jbreak is working properly (just very very slowly). It
seems as if a compute bound J makes your win2000 very slow to run the
jconsole.exe task to set the break signal.
I'm not aware of win2000 priority settings that would affect this or
that you can adjust. If you know of things you can adjust to affect task
priority you can try them.
Try a few things to get a handle on what the host scheduler is doing.
Run J exec loop.
How is it to start and run notepad?
How is it to start a DOS console window and do simple commands?
How is it to run jconsole i.5 etc?
If a Dos window runs ok then try the following to signal break to the J
exec loop:
...> cd \j601
...> jconsole -jprofile breaker.ijs
Does this work better than the yellow icon or is it just as sluggish?
Try editing the yellow icon to run j.exe instead of jconsole.exe as the
host rules for scheduling are different for console tasks. Does this
work any better?

The result of the tests on Win 2000 are:

I can't think of any reason for Jbreak to behave differently under
win200 than XP. Try Jbreak on your win2000 system with a few simple
tests. First verify that repeated running of Jbreak (with nothing to
break) run successfully. Then try each of the following to verify
Jbreak proper behaviour at least in simple cases.
J Break without anything to break runs immediately.
NB. double attention (break) required
delay=: 3 : 0
6!:3[20

J Break (double) stops this immediately
exec=: 3 : 0

J break hangs and the exec '' stops after 10 ... 40 seconds

J break is pressed when the number is about 500 the process interrupts
at 18771 (after several tens of deconds). Seconf try made 18417.
input=: 3 : 0
while. 1 do. q=.1!:1[1 end.
)
Stops after the input after the J break.
