Yes i did this and the suddenly the performance will be better. but we have to sleep, so
 i also tried to do something like this:

dt = 1000;
while ( dt > 0 ) {
a = tick();
SwitchToThread();
b = tick();
dt - = b-a;
}

but i wondered why windows xp don't have same behaviour on all system.

Hi Adrian,

Have you tried changing the use of Sleep() to SwitchToThread(), or
OpenThreads::Thread::YieldCurrentThread which should do the
SwitchToThread for you.

Robert.
