[Bug-gnubg] GNU playing well with other applications in Windows

[Barry Murphy]

Hi,

 

I just started a rollout in GNU and noticed that it sucks up practically all system resources.   A suggestion would be for you to add code (Windows sleep API call perhaps?) so that other applications can continue to run even if GNUBG is performing a rollout.

 

I'm a VB programmer for Windows, and there is a call in VB called DoEvents() which basically is a command to go look to Windows and perform any waiting tasks.  I do not know what the equivalent is in C or C++.

 

The Sleep API is called with a long int value and is defined as:

 

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

... in VB anyway, not sure how you link API calls in C.

 

Thanks for your efforts.  Very nice looking product!
