I was actually going to suggest this change, so I'm personally happy to see it happen. I noticed that after making this change, my captures went from an average of 1% CPU usage (except when I was running into file system problems, see my other posts over the past 2 days for more info) to 0%. Not that the 1% CPU usage was a problem or anything, but that was a nice little side effect and probably makes a bigger difference on less powerful machines. I was also having a problem with up to 40 second delays before a capture would actually begin, and this change fixed that. Again, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out here. You guys are terrific.
