>So my question is, why does it take so long for the WTO to externalize? The only reason I can think of why a WTO would not show up somewhere almost instantly is if there is an extreme WTO buffer shortage because some process has generated a massive number of WTOs in a very short period of time. This is not your case, apparently. Another quirk of WTO processing is that they will not necessarily appear, whenever externalized, in the same sequence in which they are issued. In order to be sure of the sequence, you should put your own time stamp in the WTO text and use a granularity of a microsecond or less. E.g., do a STCK and display at least the right-most half. SRBs are interesting creatures. I had one recently that would take anywhere from 50 microseconds to 50 MILLISECONDS to be SCHEDULEd inside disabled code. I have a hard time understanding why it takes so long to put an SRB on a queue. I finally redesigned the process so I didn't have to use an SRB any more.
