[REBOL] Re: forever loops and cpu usage
From: maarten:vrijheid at: 8-Feb-2004 8:49
In a multitasking environment, you take what you can get. So a forever
loop tries to eat up the cpu.
Inserting a wait 0.002 (I found the number by experiment on Win/Lin two
years ago) behaviour is normal.
Especially when doing:
some-port-list
forever [
wait/all compose [ (some-port-list) 0]
.....
]
when I changed the 0 to 0.002 I had a high-performance, non-blocking
IO-engine that turned into RUgby a few months later.
And didn't ate the CPU.....
