One of the more interesting proposals in the forum thread is that of a faceless helper application that runs entirely separately, maybe I’ll look into that more closely unless anyone has a better idea. Well, you need to make sure the main loop runs, so don’t block it with message box and similar things. It’s my understanding that if running on a multi-core processor machine, a helper app will run on its own core and be unaffected by the main loop of the main application. Is that not correct? The helper app would handle all the low-level timing-critical protocol stuff and the main app would retrieve results via IPCSocket whenever it’s able to.
