I almost never have this problem (using Win2k SP2). The only time I
see it, is if I have a (low priority) task in the background which
takes up almost all CPU time, such as compressing a DivX, and the mail
server is responding very slowly at the same time. It seems as if The
Bat is then starved for CPU, and responds quite badly to events (but
it doesn't hang up totally, however).

I'm not sure how The Bat processes WinSock events, but if it is via
the (old-fashioned) system of processing windows messages in the main
WindowProc, then this could be the problem. However, switching to a
fully asynchronous WinSock event model is not an easy task... Not to
mention incompatible with older versions of Windows.

Do other people with the "pause" problem have CPU-consuming tasks
running in the background?

Cheers,
