My brother reports:


>>>>>>>|>>>>>>>
| = stutter for 1/100 second or so

Basically smooth all the time, then momentary stutter.


He can also slow it down horribly just by recieving an msn message, or invoking the yellow rollover help text on the task bar for instance.

I have personally noticed blitzmax executables stutter like mad in situations without timing, where blitz3d ones did not previously. Is this because it has a low base priority or something? I would like to increase the base priority.

Some testers have reported it stuttering when small background tasks happen - things that never slowed down Blitz3D or any 3D app and these are some of the theories:

* The windows procedure is causing stutter

* Bmax is getting messages sent to it and for some reason its doing more work at that time

* paint message may be the cause from other apps


We need to be able to control how friendly the app is? What suggestions do the more techincal savvy among you have?
