Setting the cursor to busy eats cycles and adds a time-overhead.

Can you explain what is different between setting cursor to busy instead of

I probably added to the confusion here, so I'll try to explain again.
The *colored* beachball cursor (drawn by OS X) is the one that means an

I always wished that there was some LiveCode example stacks which showed

Shoot - I never considered that. I will look on the LiveCode list of
