With the later beta versions you can specify a /TW=# parameter on the command line to force a periodic # milllisecond sleep.  Try values around 50-100 as a start.  Too large a value can cause the mouse commands to become sluggish and can affect the performance of the active temperature control if you are using that feature.


And yes...  there is a lot of action going on behind the screen...  but the program runs fine on a 100 MHz laptop.

Was a thread about this a few months back, but I'm unable to find it. Program was first written for dos and converted to windows this results in polled type behavior vs interrupt / event behavior. A option to increase sleep time exist but it does effect the mouse. Guess you could also lower it's priority in the task manager but if you have another compute bound program like seti at home then the program may appear dead or hung.

Running LH3b on a 299 MHz PII with XP Pro, Control 
Panels/Administrative Tools/Performance/System Monitor reports 
essentially 100% Processor Time.  Notwithstanding that, it will 
happily run another application or two without any apparent 
additional lag -- so 100% apparently doesn't mean "can't spare any 
time for anything else."

Best regards,

Charles
