Not sure if this where this post should be .


I wanted to see what cpu percentage/memory a BMX program was utilizing for example I was running the snowflake
sample program and when I would bring up task manager
window to monitor the program it would initially show that
the program was taking ~ 4% cpu time and after a few seconds the screen
would blank and the task manager would report that the snowflake prgram was consuming 99% cpu
process time. When I alt tab'd back to the snowflake
program and then brought up task manager again
it would show the program taking about 5% and then again after a few seconds the screen would blank and task
manager showing that snowflake.exe taking up 99% cpu.

Is this right ?
