[REBOL] polling ports with 'wait' Re:
From: galtbarber:mailandnews at: 11-Aug-2000 17:16
Yeah, that is a good workaround.
However, 0 is still supposed to work.
Also, when I was testing my loadtester,
I would occasionally (like about every 8 seconds or so)
see the system pause for up to a second,
when using wait [port 0.001],
and at those times the cpu was not busy
so it couldnt be garbage collection or anything.
If I am running another rebol instance,
it does pause also, but not at the same
times as the 1st instance, so it's not likely
to be an os system background thread sucking
up the cycles.
I don't know if it is a bug or not,
but probably it has no relation to the problem
with wait [tcpport 0]
