While working on a project, I had the need to run a function every millisecond. So, my first attempt was to fork() and then loop sending a signal then delaying 1ms. What I found was that a cygwin process can only recieve about 100 signals/sec before it uses up 100% of the processor (on a PIII/850MHz).
Is it reasonable for me to conclude that cygwin uses about 8,000,000 cycles to process a single signal, or have I done something wrong? -Rolf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
