I have an application with 3 threads to it.  One thread is simply processing
serial IO but must run close to real-time - I have given it priority
tpTimeCritical.  This thread is executed by the main program.  However, if
the main program is doing something processor intensive (such as retreiving
a number of database records), then my Comms thread doesn't get a look in
until the processor intensive part has finished.  I have put a Sleep command
into the processor intensive loop thinking that it will allow the Comms
thread to continue with its stuff, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?
