The problem is that the CPU meter is pegging and it kills my laptop battery. On my office computer I don't care.
I do not have this problem with any other Windows program. My case may be special as I run QPC in Windows XP but in a virtual machine on a Mac. I had the same problem with it back when it was the VirtualPC emulator. I see the cursor occasionally behave itself and then often just take off. Marcel and I have discussed this briefly before and it would seem that the pause mechanism that he uses between cursor updates/ pointer checks, etc. is handled differently on different systems. We even tried extending the delay period and it seemed to have no affect. Looking at this test code I am guessing that Marcel is verifying that the time clock function in QPC is reporting as expected, which I am guessing that it is. jim On Jan 9, 2008, at 12:49 AM, Wolfgang Lenerz wrote: > On 8 Jan 2008 at 21:18, James Hunkins wrote: > >> And I do see my CPU meter peg maximum while running this, just the >> same as if I am moving the cursor around the screen (idle mode it >> stays around 25-33%, Windows by itself is < 5% in idle. > > It does that under a normal Windows, too, so that doesn't mean > anything. > > Wolfgang > > _______________________________________________ > QL-Users Mailing List > http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
